“The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.”
The good figs signified them that were gone into captivity, and so saved their life, as Jer. 21:8 , and the naughty figs them that remained, which were yet subject to the sword, famine and pestilence.
