In the Scriptures, there are three trees that are used as symbols for Israel; the vine, the fig tree, and the olive. The vine is the symbol of Israel’s spiritual conditions [Psalms 80:8-10] The fig tree symbolizes Israel’s national/political conditions [Hos. 9:10; Mt 24:32-35; Mk 13:28-31; Luke 21:30 ] The olive tree symbolizes Israel’s religious conditions [Jer 11:16; Rom 11:17].
