“He wanted them to see the importance of abiding. In a vineyard anything not attached to the vine is useless and discarded. A part of the discarding process at the end of the productive season is the burning of dry materials. The burning need not describe judgment; it is simply one step in the process being described. It is what happens to pruned materials. Their uselessness, not their destruction, is being emphasized.” (Page 50)
“If Pharaoh had acceded to Moses’ request, he would have acknowledged that Yahweh’s authority over Israel superseded his own. His arrogant question and affirmation make it clear that he did not view himself as being subject to Yahweh.21 This attitude, anticipated by Yahweh (3:19), prompted the judgments and divine hardening that followed.” (Page 417)
“The nonabiding branches of verse 6 are not the same as the unfruitful branches of verse 2. Verse 6 does not raise the issue of fruitfulness reflected in verse 2 and is not looking at the same time of year.” (Page 50)
“Since καθαίρει was the legitimate viticultural term describing the process of removing suckers from a fruiting branch, it should be understood that way.” (Page 48)
“However, the season, the time of early spring growth, is important to note.” (Page 47)
