The phrase “everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree” alludes to a verse in the Bible Micah 4:4. The context of the allusion is a metaphorical time and place where one feels secure enough to enjoy their personal freedom without fear of being disturbed by external powers. The speaker calls upon scripture as ideal of the promise of America that has often been fulfilled and need not be subject to going unfulfilled by internal pressures.
