In the story, we are the oak, together or alone. A unique intelligent creature of God. Separated from him we are the forest; lost to our own ways, destined to be used by strangers and cut down, trying to preserve the glory of youth.
Being eastward in the forest Is a mind not being led by the priorites of the world, but looking to the right way, where our Lord was is. The river is the river Jordan, which means seeking purity, where our Lord abided, where grace immersed him; giving us a road sign to the path of righteousness.
And the birds from the forest are all the spirits of the things in the world that we love for pleasure and give us happiness; but being outside of a right understanding these joys are chains and weights stopping our walk.
The creatures of the forests are those things of our imagination that when in the world we become caught in and become more sinful and wicked with; that we worry with, envy over, covet and lust after and make our identity. The years of storms and seasons are the hrartaches and pains and foolish mistakes and sorrows and murmurings and regrets and wasted memories and time, when the mind and heart are lost in these ways: which cause separation, divorce, lost friendships, prejudices, the taking of sides, which lead to the marks of incompletion which make us a slave; in the Forehead and by the Hand. The elegant limbs are our fading physical beauty that come from the dust and goes back to dust, that we work so much to preserve and cover, which is the moss, that it breaks down your soul and eventually your body and allows the worry of aging to corrupt even your character. And having no one to care for it means, we search out all the things; that are given by demons that want your energy, to keep their youth and preserve an image in society, and this insecurity is upheld as beauty and within these prides we are taught are blessings; but these make people diseased and weak and cause stresses that lead to mental, emotional and physical breakdowns and suicide. And having no one to tend to these things, we turn to wolves and lions and all types of predators that feed their pockets and egos and and their claws tighten thier grip over all, from the profit of our sorrows. And the roots being close to the surface means both there is no depth of love and only recieving base knowledge, which makes only opinionated people, debtors and debaters, controlling and high minded. And this is the integrity we live in, are lead by and uphold. And being destined to live in peace alone; is everyone: either in relationships or solitary. As the end result is the same and all must make peace with their choice.
Knowing that the Lord said, he came only to the lost sheep of the tribe of isreal. Meaning those that believe in Him are of his flock and when they hear his voice, they will come, because even a child knows the sound where there help comes from. And the testimony of Christ is from the Father and from himself. So whomever hears the word, believes on the son. And will do as the son has been told from the father. And this is not hard to understand, if you are of those that call out for help. Psalms 121:1-8
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
You see, we shall no longer be caught up in the struggles of today, nor be afraid of what will come tomorrow. But keep faith in the Lord and keep the commandments, and we can live, being free to have the enjoyments of the world, but not be controlled, lead astray and end up being held accountable. This is the grace of God. The more love you have stored up, the better life around us will become, and less worry and the more good things will come from that; but the more things you store up in the world and in your mind from not remembering the law, clouds your insight from seeing and blocks your heart from understanding and then you have much more to let go of in your mind and ways and things to remove physically and emotionally. Even with the Lord taking away your present understanding in order for you to gain proper insight and think clearly, to learn a new way, which is not a new way, but a way made perfect.
Now, the Holy Spirit is the young muscadine Vine. Young because there will be a time for it to show completely. And it is by which we would have knowledge from the creator. It came up from the muddy thicket; Which is the depths of knowledge and understanding from God that came into the world by love. Fertile soil,meaning; came from life. The brush and thicket are the tricks and frauds and polluted messages of the knowledge of the world and times and of judgement and of The Testimony of our Lord . The tendrils are the priests and prophets that kept the Word and recieved joy for their understanding and passed it along, being as it was unnoticed. It being strong is the courage and wisdom put into each person that hear the word and instruction from the prophets and priests.
Meaning of it being a fruiting vine is that it brings life and hangs upon The strength of God. And it searching for a place to climb to the sun; is searching for candlesticks, men of light, that it can cling to and bring life and bring it more abundantly into the world. And the meaning of if it were on the ground, some may rot or be taken by creatures or strangers is this: all this work is protected from the wisdom and understanding of men and has been hid to allow wickedness to come to completion , and allow all to show their integrity and who their God is. The saying "yet it will survive, because it is strong," means because the doubts of the world, many go astray to keep afloat, but in our weakness is the strength of God and it was being reserved until the final hour. And "but not yet to its staure, means moving and growing into his season, the last hour.
The land being inherited and forest purchased by a Great master is this: The land is the earth and the forest is the world. The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof. We were all brought with a price. The Great master is The saving spirit which is Christ From God. Being fertile meaning, ready to bring forth something new.
The home on the hill in the northern part, is the Holy Tabernacle on Mt zion where the Word comes from Heaven. And looking down in the forest, is God seeing all the ways of men. The home is by the river because being immersed in the river of purity(baptized), which is giving up or remission of sins; meaning give up old ways. But fire baptism is the purifying of the heart to give up thoughts and ways to come into a new understanding.
The wise son that loved the forest and admired the oak and would sit under its shade and rest, is Our Lord Jesus; who is SALVATION.
And him looking on the young vine in the thicket is his kinship and love for everyone and the joy of companionship: being reason Isreal is saved. And him moving away the weeds from around it in order to grow, is him wiping the tears away of all the come into the truth of him, and breaking chains and strongholds and the understanding of our home.
Him knowing the vine is native and would be good for fruit and thinking upon it, is the Lord saving all who are of his flock, the tribe of isreal and those will he multiply to be of the multitude.
The son being wise and innocent and loving the forest and the Master being a man of missions is this: What more can we say of The Love of our savior Jesus Christ and his love for us as we have seen, but time belongs to the creator and Abraham gave orders to his lineage. Jacob also, wrestled with God and man, and in the end he believed and asked for blessings; love and mercy made a way. So are we all within the same boat.
