It is of an Olive Tree growing in the Cardo of the Old City Jerusalem. If you look carefully, you can faintly see the menorah in the background courtyard but it is the Olive Tree that is the focal point.

Besides being artistically beautiful this layout speaks something spiritual to me about the Olive Tree (as in the olive tree of Romans 11:17.) The natural branches that are being grafted back into “their own olive tree” which is symbolic of the planting of God in faith that was broken off in unbelief so God could provide a way “wild branches,” the Gentiles to be grafted in to this planting in faith.

I can’t even fully verbalize it yet, but this actual, natural olive tree in the Cardo is a symbolic living representation of the growing young Israeli Jewish Body of Messiah.

Its location—in the Cardo of the Old City Jerusalem—speaks of these Messianic believers as being the very heartbeat of God for the Jewish people.
