Joel 1:7
He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white. He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
Joel 1:7 belongs to a prophecy concerning the condition of the world. That condition is the one existing in the period immediately preceding the Lord's second coming. The devastation of vine and fig tree therefore marks the state of things just before that return.
