Summer fruit = ripe fruit. time to harvest it. Time to cut it down. No need to allow fruit to remain on the vine. Take it down.
or another way to interpret is ripe fruit is only good for so long, the only stage after fruit is ripe is for to rotten to go bad.
and what do we do with bad fruit we throw it way. we destroy it.
time is up for Israel. Israel just as summer fruit was ripe.It was ripe for destruction.
looking at this indictment, our worship of God reaches beyond what we do here in church, it reaches what we do out there. in our professions, in our personal lives (heart worship) and our relationships (how we serve others)
failing to live in complete obedience to God results in spoiled fruit.
