The Name “Vine & Fig Tree” comes from the Prophet Micah. We turn to the Law and the Prophets because we believe that the Bible is the Word of God, and must therefore be our Authority. If you don’t view the Bible in the same way, you should begin here. If you’re willing to listen to the Prophet Micah, here is what he said:

And it will come about in the last days
That the mountain of the House of the LORD
Will be established as the chief of the mountains
And it will be raised above the hills
And the peoples will stream to it.
And many nations will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD
And to the House of the God of Jacob,
That He may teach us about His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For from Zion will go forth the Law
Even the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
And He will judge between many peoples
And render decisions for mighty, distant nations.
Then they will hammer their
swords into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation will not lift up sword against nation
And never again will they train for war.
And each of them will sit under his
Vine and under his fig tree,
With no one to make them afraid.
For the LORD of hosts has spoken.
Though all the peoples walk
Each in the name of his god,
As for us, we will walk
In the Name of the LORD our God
forever and ever.
“In that day,” says the LORD,
“I will assemble the lame,
I will gather the outcast
And those whom I have afflicted;
I will make the lame a remnant,
And the outcast a strong nation;
So the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on, even forever.”

Micah 4:1-7


One way to look at this passage is to examine Micah’s prophecy word-by-word. It’s very revealing. It’s part of “A Vine & Fig Tree FAQ.

The Christmas Conspiracy

Perfect Holiday Reading!

No, this isn’t
“Let’s stay inside and be glum because Christmas is ‘a pagan holiday.’”
This is
“Followers of the Babe born in a feeding trough are plotting to topple all Empires.”

The Conspiracy is exposed here.


PATRIARCHY

No, it has absolutely nothing to do with polygamy or machismo. It describes a society where the family is the central source of creativity, virtue and social order, and where men have not left their responsibilities as fathers to become priests or dictators. Some people call a society without church or state "anarchy." Fine. We believe this is the Biblical ideal. The old way of looking at society has produced secularism and mass death.

Experience a "paradigm shift."

A word to “Feminists.”
Vine & Fig Tree advocates “Patriarchy.”
If that strikes you as offensive and threatening, you should explore the rest of this site. You will find that your definition of “Patriarchy” was given to you by the very institutions opposed by Vine & Fig Tree.

In our experience we have found two types of people who might classify themselves as “feminists.” If you hate men and children, and hope to arm yourself with the violence of the State in order to bring about your vision of social order (a socialist system of gun-wielding matriarchs), you will definitely be challenged by Micah’s vision of Vine & Fig Tree. If politics, guns, condoms, and shouted slogans don’t interest you, you are probably in the right place.

Our definition of “Patriarchy” differs from many who oppose that term, because we are pacifists, anarchists, and anti-institutionalists.

Q. What kind of “Patriarchy” can exist in a context of anarchism, pacifism, and decentralism?
A. One you should explore with an open mind; open to ways of thinking which are so old, they appear new.
