Wesley's Notes

17:23 In the mountain - In Jerusalem. All fowl - All nations. In the shadow - There they shall find peace and safety.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

23. under it . all fowl-the Gospel "mustard tree," small at first, but at length receiving all under its covert (Mt 13:32); the antithesis to Antichrist, symbolized by Assyria, of which the same is said (Eze 31:6), and Babylon (Da 4:12). Antichrist assumes in mimicry the universal power really belonging to Christ.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

17:22-24 The unbelief of man shall not make the promise of God of none effect. The parable of a tree, used in the threatening, is here presented in the promise. It appears only applicable to Jesus, the Son of David, the Messiah of God. The kingdom of Satan, which has borne so long, so large a sway, shall be broken, and the kingdom of Christ, which was looked upon with contempt, shall be established. Blessed be God, our Redeemer is seen even by the ends of the earth. We may find refuge from the wrath to come, and from every enemy and danger, under his shadow; and believers are fruitful in him.


Psalm 92:12 The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. (NASB ©1995)
