Israel was God’s vine for the accomplishing of His economy. In the Scriptures a vine signifies God’s people who are under His care and in union with Him (John 15:1-8). This union issues in the flowing forth of the divine life in fruit-bearing, which produces wine to cheer both God and man (Judg. 9:13). However, in its degradation Israel produced thorns and thistles (Ezek. 2:6; cf. Isa. 5:1-7).
