The Vineyard

.
"The trees said to the grapevine,
Come and reign over us."
(Judges 9:12)
A plant whose stem requires support
and which climbs or trails along the ground.
The mother city - Jerusalem,
was like a vine planted by waters,
It was fruitful and full of branches.
The land of the Israelites flowed with milk and honey,
and the luscious grape -
which bespeaks the joy of the Lord -
was the fruit of it. (Number 13:27)
He brings forth food out of the earth,
and wine that makes glad the heart of man. Ps. 104:15

Galileo once said,
Wine is a mix of water and the sun.

On the third day after He was made known,
The Son of God turned water into wine
during a marriage feast in Galilee.
It was the custom on such occasions to serve the good wine first;
When men had drank liberally,
that which is not so good is served.
But when the new wine, which Jesus instrumented, was served,
It was praised and commended that the best wine
had been kept until the end.
This miracle act by the Son
accentuated the birthing of God’s new order now arising.
The glory of the Son was manifested,
His greatness and power was openly displayed.
And his disciples, having witnessed the act,
believed
He was indeed the Son of God. (John 2:1-11)

Jesus,
(after the order of Melchizedek, priest of the Most High God,
who brought forth bread and wine and blessed Abraham. Gen. 14:18),
said,
I am the true vine
And My Father is the farmer, the vine-dresser.
I am the vine.
You are the branches.
He that abides in Me, and I in him,
the same brings forth much fruit. (John 15:1-5)
You have not chosen Me,
but I have chosen you and I have appointed you,
(I have planted you)
that you might go and bear fruit
and keep on bearing fruit,
And that your fruit may be lasting… (John 15:16)

A vineyard of red wine, beloved and lovely,
I the Lord do keep;
(which My right hand has planted).
I will water it every moment
Lest any harm come to it.
I will keep it night and day. (Is.27:2-3)
I will sing to My well-Beloved a song of My Beloved
concerning His Vineyard.
My well-Beloved has a vineyard in a very fruitful hill. (Is. 5:1)
It was planted in a good soil by great waters,
that it might bring forth branches (made strong),
that it might bear fruit,
and that it might become a splendid vineyard. (Ez. 17:8)

Blessed be His glorious name forever;
let the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen and amen. (Ps. 72:19)

“No one pours new wine into old wineskins, else the new wine will burst the wineskins,
it will be spilled and the skins will be ruined (destroyed).
But new wine must be put into new wineskins; and both are preserved.
No man after drinking old wine immediately desires new;
for he will say the old is better.” ( Luke 5:37-39)

“By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed
and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance;
and he went… (Heb. 11:8)


Blessings to you in the season time of “Kairos” -
Season of bringing in the harvest;
Season of opportunity
Season of fulfillment.

With Love, Ruth
