“And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.”
Matthew 3:10 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 3:10
The imagery of the axe at the tree's root emphasizes the imminent nature of God's judgment and the urgency of repentance. The present tense 'is laid' indicates judgment is not distant but immediately impending. Trees that fail to produce good fruit will be 'hewn down'—covenant language for divine rejection (Jeremiah 11:16-17). The fire represents eternal judgment, not merely temporal discipline. This sobering warning demolishes presumption and demands immediate response.
