Golden Lamp Stand

Rousing, early spring almond blossoms.

Breaking through, sprouts on dry ground. 

The almond is a well-known symbol of resurrection because it is the first tree to flower after winter. 

Almond blossoms are very beautiful. The cups on the six branches of the menorah (lampstand) in the Holy Place are fashioned after the almond blossoms.

Solomon’s Crown

Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these flower.

What is this flower?

 

Many years ago I had this flower in my garden but then I only know it’s a species of Persian cyclamen.

 

Recently, a sermon I heard mentioned this flower and so – this is “Solomon’s Crown”

 

Solomon is King David son, the 3rd and last king of Israel. He is the greatest king in Jewish history and one of the most legendary king in the world. The period where Israel is under the governance of King David and King Solomon was the golden era of Israelites history.

 

King Solomon was the first builder of Holy Temple in Jerusalem. He has wisdom that is above all man, great wealth and authority that cannot be measured.

 

But still, even all Solomon’s glory, he was not clothed like one of these flower.

 

This flower has a crown-like shape, a crown that has life. Jesus has no form nor comeliness but HIS life is holy and glory.

 

I was also reminded of a story of a king who was given an opportunity to make a wish. He wish that everything he touches will turn into gold. When he touched a flower in his garden it turned in to gold immediately, when he hug his beloved daughter, she turned into gold too.

 

To bring out my message, beside that flower with life, the rest has turned into gold.
