“The Lord called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.”
The judgment on the tree: 'The LORD Almighty, who planted you, has decreed disaster for you, because the people of Israel and Judah have done evil and aroused my anger by burning incense to Baal.' This verse indicates that God, having 'planted' Israel (established her in the land), now 'decreed disaster for you' because of idolatry. Theologically, this verse indicates that the destruction is proportionate: God will undo what He has done.
