Job 1:2

Job 1:2

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

This may be applied to the spiritual seed and offspring of Christ, which are like to olive trees or olive plants; to which David is compared, ; the two anointed ones in Zec 4:11; the two witnesses in Re 11:4; and all true believers in Christ may; because of their excellency, these being choice plants; because of their fruitfulness and beauty; because of their fatness, and having oil in them; and because of their perpetuity, being ever green; see .

Now Christ has a table, which he has well furnished, at which he himself sits, and places these his children all around; and whom he welcomes to the entertainment he makes, and takes delight and pleasure in them, So 1:12.
