Rampike
A rampike is a dead tree, especially the bleached skeleton or splintered trunk of a tree killed by fire, lightning, or wind.
While entering Jerusalem, Jesus used a rampike as an object lesson for the disciples. (Matthew 21:20-22; Mark 11:20-22)
And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen. (Matthew 21:21, NASB)
Note: This rendering of a fig tree is by the Swiss painter, Paul Klee (1879-1940).
