In that day, saith the Lord of hosts
The Gospel dispensation, which began with the incarnation,
sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ, and still
continues; called sometimes the day of salvation, the acceptable
time, and year of the redeemed: shall ye call every man his
neighbour under the vine, and under the
fig tree;
which may be expressive of the desire of gracious souls after the
conversion of others; they would have them come under the means
of grace; and are desirous that the means might be blessed to
them; that they might know Christ, and be partakers of the same
grace with them; which arises from a sense they have of the
blessings they share in; from a love to immortal souls, and a
desire to promote the glory of God; also of the fruitfulness and
plenty of the Gospel dispensation; Christ is the true vine, laden
with precious fruits; from him saints have all their
fruitfulness; they sit under his shadow with delight, and his
fruit is sweet unto them; the provisions of his house are very
excellent and precious, to which others are invited to partake
of: likewise of the fellowship and communion which saints have
with each other; they converse in private, join in public
worship, and feast together at the Lord's table; and encourage
one another so to do; all which is crowned with the presence of
God, and fellowship with him: moreover, the words may suggest
that peace and tranquillity enjoyed by believers under the Gospel
dispensation, and that safety and security which they have in and
through Christ; (See Gill on Micah
4:4).
