Compares the words of Zenos with the words of other early Israelite prophets. Old Testament literature is replete with symbols that represent the house of Israel as an olive tree or a vine. Different prophets use different aspects of the allegory, speaking of destruction and restoration, of scattering and gathering, but always of the involvement of the Lord with the house of Israel.
