Recently we reread through Jacob 5. I find it interesting how new insights can bring new interpretations to parables I have known for years. This time I took note that the three tame branches planted in other parts of the vineyard were hidden from the servant (or prophet of the church) for a long time. They had to develop their own roots, indicative of forming their own church, without connection to the mother tree.
It seems clear the third tame branch represents the people of Lehi. Half the tree was wild and half tame, with the wild half choking out the tame half and being placed in the best part of the vineyard. Who do the other two branches represent? They were placed in some of the worst parts of the vineyard, and yet brought forth much fruit. Where are they? Where is the record of their journeys and joy in the Lord?
