The first mention of the Golden Bowl is in Ecclesiastes 12, if you read it, it is like reading about now. It asks the people to remember the Creator of their youth, before the days of trouble came. As we know the word 'trouble' is usually associated with 'Jacob's trouble' and 'Jacob's trouble is to do with the last days of the end times.
It then speaks of the 'sun and the light and the moon and the stars growing dark'. Again it is related to the night time, that King David mentioned in Psalm 92.
'The clouds return after the rain; when the keepers of the house tremble'.
The rain is to with righteousness, people can tremble when they hear the word of the LORD God. Trembling is also related to the earth quaking. 'And the strong men stoop when the grinders are few'.
In my humble view this relates to high unemployment, and few people to do the true work of the LORD God.
When strong men stoop it means that they are being low in thought, word and deed.
'When those looking through windows grow dim, when the doors of the street are closed, and the sound of grinding fades'. Children look through windows when they are in school, and due to consumerism the people cannot leave their front doors open anymore. People used to grind knives, but they do not grind them anymore, in this throwaway society, they buy new ones instead.
"People rise up at the sound of birds but all the songs grow feint. When people are afraid of the heights, and of the dangers on the streets'. It speaks of the current uprising that is going on all over the world.
I had a sibling that did not like heights, not even to sit on a donkey or a horse. It speaks of adults being afraid like children.
'The Almond Tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags itself along and desire no longer stirred'.
We made an in-depth post on the Almond Tree and it is related to the good shepherd. In Christian spiritual symbology it is also to do with the wise Virgin of Purity that stands against everything that is lawless. [4]
In the book of Jeremiah he was shown the branch of the almond tree and the LORD said to prophet Jeremiah
"I am watching, to see that my word is fulfilled'.
As we know a grasshopper is small and green just like the children in Libya. It speaks of the children at the grass roots, that have no desire or ambition. They cannot not be stirred into desire for the self. The children that drag themselves along without purpose, like it is all a daydream.
Like when a small child is walking slowly and its older sibling tell it to hurry up. Often the older siblings will pick up the child and carry them, due to them dragging themselves along. Like they don't know what day it is, and you have to hold their little hands and say come along.
When children are involved in a war, their hearts cannot understand why others would make war against them and their country. It can have a traumatic impact on children for the rest of their lives and change the way that they view the world. It can also co-create disease. I remember when the Iraq war first took place, and Western children saw it on television. They were asking their mummies 'Why is there a war?'. How can we explain to children what most adults do not understand?
Gaddafi exalted women and children, he gave free education to the children of Libya and that included university. Not one leader in the West can say that they have honored the children in the same way.
Not one of them that created the war against Libya can stand in integrity or justice; of putting children first. The Malachi prophecies assured them what would happen in this timeline, if they refused to put the children first by turning their hearts towards the children. It promised that judgement would come upon them in this timeline.
It gives a message to the people and a conclusion to the matter. It asks them to remember the teacher that was wise. The one that imparted information to them, set in order many words that were upright and true. The collected sayings are like firmly embedded nails, delivered by one shepherd. It then gives a warning to the writer who is called the son, and it tells them not to write many books, because study wearies the body.
It asks the people to remember the one that was a wise teacher, writer, and shepherd before they die. Before the silver cord is severed, and the golden bowl is broken, before the pitcher is shattered at the spring and the wheel is broken at the well, and the dust returns to the ground that it came from, and the spirit returns to Elohiym who gave it.
It finishes the conclusion by asking the people to keep the commandments; for this is the duty of mankind. For Elohiym will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.
I dedicate this post to Colonial Gaddafi who did his utmost to help his people and Africa, in the best way that he knew how. My condolences to Libya and its people. Know this, those that have a true heart of conscience, will not let his memory be forgotten, or what others have done to a man that was a light of love for so many in Libya. Everyone deserves justice and a just world for the children, so that they can prosper in mercy, love, integrity and honor. This journalist Lizzy Phelan was in Libya and she provides a side of the story that the Western media never told or showed the world.
Love beyond measure, may he rest in peace, and forgiveness be a keynote at this time.
