Matthew 3:10
The axe is laid unto the root of the trees. A sign that the tree
is to be cut down. The tree meant is the Jewish nation.
Every tree. A fruitless fig-tree was afterward made by our Lord
the representative of the whole Jewish nation (Luke 13:6-9), but
here John declares a universal law. What does not bear fruit shall
finally be destroyed.
Cast into the fire. When the tree is not fruitful, or bears
useless fruit, it is fit for nothing but to be burned.
