Its Stump - Isaiah 6:13

Isaiah 6:13 NASB 
“Yet there will be a tenth portion in it,
And it will again be subject to burning,
Like a terebinth or an oak
Whose stump remains when it is felled.
The holy seed is its stump.”

John the Baptist would tell the leaders that the axe was already at the tree with Jesus about to appear. He was the holy seed of Israel. He was the stump that remained and the stone of stumbling that would become the cornerstone of the new temple. 

That stump will blossom again and the grafted branches of the Gentiles will grow amidst those that originally adorned the tree.
