The Olive Tree: Exploring the Biblical Metaphor of the Olive Tree in Romans 11  When Paul wrote to the believers in Rome, he used one of the most profound and enduring images in all of Scripture — the olive tree. This tree, deeply rooted in the soil of Israel, is more than just an agricultural symbol; it’s a living picture of God’s covenant relationship with His people and His redemptive plan through Yeshua, the promised Messiah.  To understand the weight of Paul’s metaphor in Romans 11, we must look not only at theology but also at ...
