A fruit bearing view.
Fruit Basket Turn Over
On Christ Day Eve I dreamed that a gift basket of delicious fruit was picked up
from a banquet table and turned over. The dead ripe, at the peak of its flavor and
nourishment, fruit* scattered up and down the table that was set up for a feast. From one
end of the table to the other, and some even on the floor, the fruit was displayed in its
glory as it was released from the confines of the basket.
When I sought the LORD for the interpretation, the Transfiguration story came to
mind. I have read it often but in my dream I was overhearing the subject of the
discussion.
At least I heard some of the dialog. Moses, Elijah, and JESUS were discussing how
much the worship liturgy of GOD’s chosen people had changed from the garden, to the
day of the tabernacle in the wilderness and the day of Elijah’s school of the prophets,
then came the glory days of the Temple on Mt. Zion. Next the long period of the
synagog tradition of the elders. The Lord was teaching that His death on the cross was
for “who-so-ever will”, before and after the death, burial, and resurrection.
My revelation concerns the variety of the fruit and that some fruit was judged to
be naughty by the other fruit. The types of the liturgy that was set in place by GOD;
has changed as the centuries roll on.
Liturgy Changes
Abel to Patriarchs -An offering of the firstling of the flock-with the fat
Abraham’s gift to the class of judge\prophet\ priests-after the order of Melchizedek
Tabernacle in wilderness to David’s tabernacle that will be rebuilt
Solomon’s temple to the deportation
Synagogs to present [to todays social club temples]
From the Cross & the Church of 1 century, to the Orthodox church, to the
Protestant church Denominations through he 20th century, to home churches and the 21st
century fruit basket upset; where do we go from here? Methinks the church+ coffee
house+ nightclubs all on the same campus, of our generation.
To be continued.
*There were also some nuts in the basket, but that is another subject.
