Now the axe is already lying at the roots of the trees. Every tree, then, that fails to bear good fruit is to be cut down and thrown into the fire."

Then He told them a story: "Look at the fig tree and all the trees.

They are blots on your love feasts while they feast with you, daringly caring for no one but themselves; rainless clouds swept along by winds; leafless trees that bear no fruit, doubly dead, uprooted;

"Do not injure the earth, the sea, or the trees, until we mark the slaves of our God with His seal on their foreheads."

They are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

He looked up and answered, "I see the people, but they look to me like trees moving around."

After this I looked, and there was a vast throng that no one could count from every nation, tribe, people, and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,

took palm branches and went out to meet Him, and kept on shouting: "Blessings on Him! Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord; Blessings on the King of Israel!"
