Vincent wrote to Theo Down here it is freezing hard and there is still snow in the countryside and he has twosmall studies of an almond-tree branch already in flower in spite of it The two studies are Blossoming AlmondBranch in a Glass and Blossoming Almond Branch in a Glass with a Book[10]
Blossoming Almond Branch in a Glass [ edit ]Although fruit trees were about to bloom when Vincent arrived in Arles[2] the town had just received a layer ofsnow driving van Gogh inside for his first week in Arles where he worked on still life such as a branch from analmond tree[11] To reflect the early signs of spring he used delicate brushstrokes and pastel shadesfor Blossoming Almond Branch in a Glass[2]

Please note Almond Blossom is not on display in the museum until 6 February 2017 It is undergoing a detailedexamination in the conservation studio The painting returns to the gallery on 7 February
Large blossom branches like this against a blue sky were one of Van Goghrsquos favourite subjects Almond treesflower early in the spring making them a symbol of new life Van Gogh borrowed the subject the bold outlines andthe positioning of the tree in the picture plane from Japanese printmaking
The painting was a gift for his brother Theo and sister-in-law Jo who had just had a baby son Vincent Willem Inthe letter announcing the new arrival Theo wrote lsquoAs we told you wersquoll name him after you and Irsquom making thewish that he may be as determined and as courageous as yoursquo Unsurprisingly it was this work that remainedclosest to the hearts of the Van Gogh family Vincent Willem went on to found the Van Gogh Museum
Biblical analysis of the almond tree
httpbiblehubcomtopicalaalmondhtm
Its Hebrew name shaked signifying wakeful hastening is given to it on account of its putting forth its blossomsso early generally in February and sometimes even in January In Ecclesiastes 125 it is referred to asillustrative probably of the haste with which old age comes There are others however who still contend for theold interpretation here The almond tree bears its blossoms in the midst of winter on a naked leafless stem andthese blossoms (reddish or flesh-coloured in the beginning) seem at the time of their fall exactly like white snow-flakes In this way the almond blossom is a very fitting symbol of old age with its silvery hair and its wintry drybarren unfruitful condition In Jeremiah 111 I see a rod of an almond tree [shaked]for I will hasten [shaked] myword to perform it the word is used as an emblem of promptitude Jacob desired his sons (Genesis 4311) to takewith them into Egypt of the best fruits of the land almonds etc as a present to Joseph probably because thistree was not a native of Egypt Aarons rod yielded almonds (Numbers 178 Hebrews 94) Moses was directed tomake certain parts of the candlestick for the ark of carved work like unto almonds (Exodus 2533 34) TheHebrew word luz translated hazel in the Authorized Version (Genesis 3037) is rendered in the Revised Versionalmond It is probable that luz denotes the wild almond while shaked denotes the cultivated variety
1 Almond Tree
The almond tree is mentioned in Ecclesiastes 125 where in the description of old age it says the almond-treeshall blossom The reference is probably to the white hair of age An almond tree in full bloom upon a distanthillside has a certain likeness to a head of white hair
2 A Rod of Almond
A rod of almond is referred to Genesis 3037 where Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar and of the almond (luz)and of the plane-tree and peeled white streaks in them as a means of securing ring-streaked speckled andspotted lambs and goats-a proceeding founded doubtless upon some ancient folklore Aarons rod that budded(Numbers 172 3) was an almond rod Also see Jeremiah 111 referred to above
3 The Blossoms
The blossoms of the almond are mentioned Exodus 2533 Exodus 3719 etc Cups made like almond-blossomsin one branch a knop (ie knob) and a flower is the description given of parts of the sacred candlesticks It isdoubtful exactly what was intended-the most probable is as Dillmann has suggested that the cup was modeledafter the calyx of the almond flower See CANDLESTICK
4 The Fruit
Israel directed his sons (Genesis 4311) to carry almonds as part of their present to Joseph in Egypt Palestine is aland where the almond flourishes whereas in Egypt it would appear to have been uncommon Almonds are todayesteemed a delicacy they are eaten salted or beaten into a pulp with sugar like the familiar German Marzipan
The almond is Amygdalus communis (NO Rosaceae) a tree very similar to the peach The common varietygrows to the height of 25 feet and produces an abundant blossom which appears before the leaves In Palestinethis is fully out at the end of January or beginning of February it is the harbinger of spring This early blossomingis supposed to be the origin of the name shaqedh which contains the idea of early The masses of almond trees

in full bloom in some parts of Palestine make a very beautiful and striking sight The bloom of some varieties isalmost pure white from a little distance in other parts the delicate pink always present at the inner part of thepetals is diffused enough to give a pink blush to the whole blossom The fruit is a drupe with a dry fibrous orwoody husk which splits into two halves as the fruit ripens The common wild variety grows a kernel which is bitterfrom the presence of a substance called amygdalon which yields in its turn prussic (hydrocyanic) acid Young (SVand cultivated) trees are grafted with cuttings from the sweet variety or are budded with apricot peach or plum

our land
13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell Arise my love
my fair one and come away

Charles Spurgeon | The Lesson of the Almond Tree
It is amazing to see beautiful almond trees blossoming all over Israel every winter They are the first tree to
blossom and yet the last to bear fruit
The almond tree is associated with one of the earliest prophecies of a young Jeremiah ldquoMoreover the word of
the Lord came to me saying lsquoJeremiah what do you seersquo And I said lsquoI see a branch of an almond treersquo Then
the Lord said to me lsquoYou have seen well for I am watching to perform My wordrsquordquo (Jeremiah 111-12)
This prophecy uses a play on words that carries a vital truth for Israel as well as for us The Hebrew word for
almond shaked is also translated ldquoto watchrdquo By seeing the almond branch God assured Jeremiah that He is
watching over His word to bring it to pass no matter the passage of time

In context God had just given Israel a warning ldquoI have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms
to root out and to pull down to destroy and to throw down to build and to plantrdquo (Jeremiah 19-10) Then after
Jeremiah sees the almond tree God shows him a boiling pot over Jerusalem which portends ldquocalamityrdquo
(Jeremiah 113-14) While the almond is a sign of hope that God will eventually fulfill His wonderful promises to
Israel (or to us) the context is more ominous
Later God repeated the warning through Jeremiah ldquoBehold I will watch (shaked) over them for evil and not for
goodhelliprdquo (Jeremiah 4427) Godrsquos message to Israel was that sin has consequences and there will come a time of
reckoning ndash namely the destruction of Jerusalem and the captivity of Israel
Years later Daniel would pray ldquoTherefore has the Lord watched (shaked) upon the evil and brought it upon us
for the Lord our God is righteous in all His works which He does for we obeyed not His voicerdquo (Daniel 914)
The lesson of the almond tree therefore is that God in heaven watches a sinful nation walking away from Him
and declares it will have consequences His message to humanity today is still the same God is watching He will
watch over His word either for curse or for blessing When sin and immorality engulf nations and even penetrate
the Church we should remember God is watching When nations assail Israel and seek to divide her land we
can be sure God is watching
Still the message of the ldquoalmondrdquo does carry a strong encouragement Jeremiah also foresees a miraculous
restoration for Israel ldquoAnd it shall come to pass that as I have watched over them to destroy and to afflicthellip so
will I watch over them to build and to plant says the Lordrdquo (Jeremiah 3128)
If we decide to consecrate our lives to God then He promises to watch over us for good Even with our
weaknesses and frailties His eyes are always upon us
Blogpost Cindybythesea on the Blossoming of the Almond Tree worthwhile reading in full and note the correlation
with the Menorahlampstand
Excerpts
January 28 falls within the early part of the Jewish month of Shevat Shevat is the eleventh month of the
Jewish religious calendar and the fifth month of the Jewish civil calendar
Now this is interesting because the month of Shevat has everything to do with two words that any watchman
would recognize ndash watching and awakening For it is during the month of Shevat that the almond tree first
begins to blossom And the almond tree is the first tree in Israel to bloom or awaken while the other trees are
still dormant or sleeping In fact the Hebrew words for almond tree and watch are almost exactly the same word
Shoqed Hebrew word H8245 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoto awake watch wake be alertrdquo and to ldquokeep watch
of be awakeful overrdquo

Shaqed Hebrew word H8247 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoalmond tree almondsrdquo
So with that in mind consider once again the verse from Jeremiah 111-12 ndash
ldquoThe word of the LORD came to me What do you see Jeremiah I see the branch of a ldquoshaqedrdquo (almond tree)
I replied The LORD said to me You have seen correctly for I am ldquoshoqedrdquo (watching) to see that my word is
fulfilledrdquo
Therefore we can see that the almond tree and the concept of watching are inextricably tied together One
website puts it this wayldquoThe almond tree is the first tree to sprout and the last one to lose its leaves Its flowers
symbolize the cups that crown the seven branches of the Jewish candelabra (Ex 2533-36 3719-20) In the
biblical books the almond tree is mentioned several times (eg Gen 3037-39 4311 Qo121-5) The prophet
Jeremiah mentions it in a vision The word of Yahweh was addressed to me asking ldquoJeremiah what to you
seerdquo ldquoI see a branch of the watchful treerdquo I answered Then Yahweh said ldquoWell seen I too watch over My Word
to see it fulfilledrdquo (Jer 111-12) In this text there is a word game between the Hebrew words shaqed almond
tree and shoqed I watch Also the image of the almond tree the first tree to bloom reminds us of the watchful
eye of God that watches over His word to set it to practice God is the almond tree of Israelrdquo
http19862751www1ofmmagHolyLnA2html
Therefore the almond tree is very important for the seven branched Menorah which stood in the Holy place was
specifically designed by God to be fashioned liked one
From an article titled ldquoThe Golden Lampstandrdquo ndash
ldquoEach of the six branches and the center shaft ended in a cup made in the form of an open almond flower At the
very top the opened petals of the flower held an oil lamp The branches and the central shaft were skillfully
decorated with that same open-almond blossom design with three on each branch and four on the center shaftrdquo
httpwwwbible-historycomtabernacleTAB4The_Golden_Lampstandhtm
The question is why was the almond tree Godrsquos chosen design
And while I canrsquot be exactly sure of the answer it is interesting to note that the seven lampstands (churches) of
Revelation 12 are most likely of the same design And Jesus while walking among them is examining them for
their works for believers by virtue of the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit are Godrsquos one and only source of light in
the world today therefore he expects to see their lights shining brightly and continuously as did the Menorah in
the temple of old
Interesting when you compare to Song of Songs 611 where the bridegroom goes down among the nut trees
(most likely almond) to see if they are in bloom
ldquoI went down to the grove of nut trees to look at the new growth in the valley to see if the vines had budded or
the pomegranates were in bloomrdquo (Pomegranate is another early bloomer)

It is obvious to see therefore that the blossoming of the almond tree is important to the prophetic timing of
Godrsquos word and Godrsquos strength and power to bring it to pass Making it therefore one of the most important
symbols in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy
Consider also this verse from Ecclesiastes 125
rdquo hellip when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets when the almond tree blossoms (Shevat) and
the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred Then man goes to his eternal home and
mourners go about the streetsrdquo
And from Genesis 4311 ndash
11 Then their father Israel said to them ldquoIf it must be then do this Put some of the best products of the land in
your bags and take them down to the man as a giftmdasha little balm and a little honey some spices and myrrh
some pistachio nuts and almonds
Both important verses because the almonds were a gift to Joseph ( a type of Christ) while his brothers were still
in unbelief (in other words while they still did not recognize him) just as Israel will be at the time of our
departure And from Ecclesiastes ndash Men in fear at the same time the almond tree is in bloom some taken to
their eternal home some left to mourn

Aarons rod refers to any of the staves carried by Mosess brother Aaron in the Torah The Bible tells how alongwith Mosess rod Aarons rod was endowed with miraculous power during the Plagues of Egypt that preceded theExodus There are two occasions where the Bible tells of the rods power even when it was not being held by itsowner
In Numbers 17 Korahs rebellion against Moses proclamation of the tribe of Levi as the priesthood has beenquashed and the entire congregations ensuing rebellion has resulted in a plague ended only by the intercessionof Moses and Aaron In order to stop the complaints of the Israelites God commands that each of the TwelveTribes provide a rod and only that of the tribe chosen to become priests will miraculously sprout overnight Aaronprovides his rod to represent the tribe of Levi and it put forth buds produced blossoms and bore ripe almonds(Numbers 178) as an evidence of the exclusive right to the priesthood of the tribe of Levi In commemoration ofthis decision it was commanded that the rod be put again before the testimony (Numbers 1710) According totradition the rod of Aaron bore sweet almonds on one side and bitter on the other if the Israelites followed theLord the sweet almonds would be ripe and edible but if they were to forsake the path of the Lord the bitteralmonds would predominate A later book of the Bible seems to assert (Hebrews 94) that the rod was kept in theArk of the Covenant The main fact however is thus confirmed that a rod was preserved in the Tabernacle as arelic of the institution of the Aaronic priesthood
Type of instant transformation into maturity (like in the rapture)
Aarons rod not only leafed out the next day it also had flower buds flowers and even ripe almonds on the samestick (Numbers 178) The mans name written on the sticks showed that it was the original one but the growth in

various stages of maturity also proves that no one had cut an almond branch and put it in its place

Calyx is the collective name for sepals of a flower Eastons Bible Dictionary explains
A native of Syria and Palestine In form blossoms and fruit it resembles the peach tree Itsblossoms are of a very pale pink colour and appear before its leaves Its Hebrew nameshaked signifying wakeful hastening is given to it on account of its putting forth its blossomsso early generally in February and sometimes even in January
The International Standard Bible encyclopedia says
The masses of almond trees in full bloom in some parts of Palestine make a very beautiful andstriking sight The bloom of some varieties is almost pure white from a little distance in otherparts the delicate pink always present at the inner part of the petals is diffused enough to givea pink blush to the whole blossom
Did you know that there are sweet almonds and bitter almonds Bitter almonds are toxic It becomes cyanide when crushedand mixed with other enzymes inside the almond
Gabriel Garcia Marquez once wrote poetically about the scent of bitter almonds and the fate ofunrequited love as a lead-in to murder by cyanide poisoning And in bitter almond oil as in atragic romance the sweet and the toxic are inextricably entangled
Benzaldehyde is made by the decomposition of amygdalin (named for Prunus amygdalus andin turn responsible for the bitterness that gives bitter almonds their common name) The otherdecomposition products are glucose (sweet) and hydrogen cyanide (toxic) The utility ofamygdalin to the plant is for defense specifically as a deterrent to grazers from eating thevaluable seed as well as the dispensable fruit Inside the cells of the almond kernel amygdalinis sequestered from the enzyme that breaks it down amygdalin hydrolase Crushing ashappens when the plant is grazed upon brings the enzyme and amygdalin together andcyanide is produced as a resultndashas much as 4-9mg per almond

Aarons rod famously budded almond leaves blossoms and fully ripe fruit The LORD did this to prove that Aaron was Hisdesignated spokesman with Moses
On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sproutedand put forth buds and produced blossoms and it bore ripe almonds (Numbers 178)
As with Aarons rod Jeremiah 111 use of the almond as a symbol Jeremiah 111-12
And the word of the Lord came to me saying ldquoJeremiah what do you seerdquo And I said ldquoI see an almond branchrdquo Then theLord said to me ldquoYou have seen well for I am watching over my word to perform itrdquo
Pulpit Commentary says of Verse 12 - I will hasten my word literally I am wakeful over my word alluding to the meaningof the Hebrew word for almond The LORD will hasten to perform His judgments of Jerusalem which He proclaimed in Hisword to Jeremiah
In Genesis 4311 one of the best gifts of the land that Josephs father Jacob urgedhis sons to bring to Egypt (unknowingly to Joseph) were almonds
In Plants of the Bible it says The almond Amygdalus communis is a mediumsized tree with narrow light green leaves Unlike the fig and olive the almond doesnot live to a great age The almond is a well-known symbol of resurrection becauseit is the first tree to flower The white five-parted flowers are up to two inchesacross and come in the late winter before the leaves of the tree develop Because they may flower as early as late January orearly February it is sometimes possible to find almond flowers with snow
Charles Spurgeon preached on the lessons of the Almond Tree He says here
While I have felt compelled to speak of these solemn Truths I am glad to turn to the other partof the subject which is thismdashthat God is quick in performing His promises They are like thealmond treemdashthey blossom and bear fruit very quickly ldquoWhat sort of promisesrdquo you ask ldquoarethus speedily fulfilledrdquo Well first the promise to give salvation to all these who believe in theLo rd Jesus Christ Listenmdash ldquoThe moment a sinner believes And trusts in his crucified God Hispardon at once he receives Redemption in full throrsquo His bloodrdquo I see ldquoa branch of an almondtreerdquo here The Psalmist says ldquoHis word runs very swiftlyrdquo and I am a witness that it doesMany years ago I a poor sinner went into a place of worship to hear the Gospel preachedThe preacher repeated the Lordrsquos command ldquoLook unto Me and be you savedrdquo I looked toChrist and I was saved that very instant It takes no longer to tell the story than it did to work themiracle of mercy Swift as a lightning flash I looked to Christ and the great deed was done Iwas a pardoned and justified soulmdashin a word I was saved Why should not the same thinghappen to you who are here It will happen to everyone who shall now be led to believe inJesus Christ
On this most joyous of days you who wonder at our joy it is because we looked to Christ as our all in all forgiver of sinsLamb of God You also look to Christ - and be saved The almond tree blooms quick with promises The most wondrouspromise of all is the resurrection of the Son of God
Aarons rod budded sprouted and offered fully formed fruit all at the same time According tothe law of nature all living things have a beginning and an end However this was not the casewith Aaronrsquos rod for God gave it a new lease of life This miracle hinted at the resurrection ofJesus Christ Even though death came to the world because of the actions of the first manAdam resurrection would come about on account of Jesus Christ (1 Cor 1517ndash22) Hence

Timing synchronicity of Almond Tree blossoming and planting of barley seeds
At the exact time the almond trees in Israel are starting to blossom on the day the
New Year of Trees is celebrated it is the time barley seeds are planted Barley is a
type of the easily winnowed bride The almond tree is a type of the Bride of Christ
Synching with this large parts of the earth are covered in white as well The dead in
Christ (under the earth) are covered in this typology too both the spiritually and their
remains physically
So if death is a planting of the seed and circumcission of the heart (opening of the
kernel) relates to salvation a wonderful picture of the dead in Christ and the bride
adorned in white and stripes of blood red (his blood covering us making our sins
white as snow) is forming of the rapture soon awaited
Proverbs 2513
Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him

For he refreshes the soul of his masters
Often interpreted as summer verse but is applicable as rapture verse as well

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD my soul shall be joyful in my God for he hath
clothed me with the garments of salvation he hath covered me with the robe of
righteousness as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments and as a bride
adorneth herself with her jewels
The almond tree blossom in an antitype way is related or rather darkly
mirrored towards the Antichrist as well

According to the Spencer encyclopedia (page 453 and 479) the triumphant plume in
King Arthurs helmet is likened to the almond tree the budding almond of his
priesthood and old age like in scripture Spencer is fascinated with the type of the

Demophon married Phyllis daughter of a Thracian king (possibly of Sithon) while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan war On the next day after the
wedding however he had to leave promising to return and take Phyllis with him as
soon as possible She gave him a casket and told not to open it unless he should
lose every hope to return to Thrace Demophon eventually settled in Cyprus and
forgot about Phyllis She would come to the sea shore every day expecting to see
the sails of his ship but in vain After the appointed date was past she either died of
grief or hanged herself One day Demophon opened the casket out of curiosity what
he saw there was so horrifying that he jumped onto his horse and rode like wild till he
fell off the horse on his own sword and died[5][6][7] Others however say that he did
return but Phyllis was already dead by the time when he embraced the lifeless
almond tree into which she was said to have transformed after death it started to
blossom[8]Phylis married Demophon King of Athens and son of Theseus while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan War[4]

Wiki Phylis
Demophon duty bound to Greece returns home to help his father leaving Phyllis
behind She sends him away with a casket telling him that it contained a sacrament
of Rhea and asking him to open it only if he has given up hope of returning to her
From here the story diverges In one version Phyllis realizes that he will not return
and commits suicide by hanging herself from a tree Where she is buried an almond
tree grows which blossoms when Demophon returns to her[1] In a second version of
the story Demophon opens the casket and horrified by what he saw in there rides
off in such great haste that his horse stumbles and he accidentally falls on his own
sword[5]
In English this version goes back at least to Gower who writes in Confessio
Amantis (ca 1390)

Please note Almond Blossom is not on display in the museum until 6 February 2017 It is undergoing a detailedexamination in the conservation studio The painting returns to the gallery on 7 February
Large blossom branches like this against a blue sky were one of Van Goghrsquos favourite subjects Almond treesflower early in the spring making them a symbol of new life Van Gogh borrowed the subject the bold outlines andthe positioning of the tree in the picture plane from Japanese printmaking
The painting was a gift for his brother Theo and sister-in-law Jo who had just had a baby son Vincent Willem Inthe letter announcing the new arrival Theo wrote lsquoAs we told you wersquoll name him after you and Irsquom making thewish that he may be as determined and as courageous as yoursquo Unsurprisingly it was this work that remainedclosest to the hearts of the Van Gogh family Vincent Willem went on to found the Van Gogh Museum
Biblical analysis of the almond tree
httpbiblehubcomtopicalaalmondhtm
Its Hebrew name shaked signifying wakeful hastening is given to it on account of its putting forth its blossomsso early generally in February and sometimes even in January In Ecclesiastes 125 it is referred to asillustrative probably of the haste with which old age comes There are others however who still contend for theold interpretation here The almond tree bears its blossoms in the midst of winter on a naked leafless stem andthese blossoms (reddish or flesh-coloured in the beginning) seem at the time of their fall exactly like white snow-flakes In this way the almond blossom is a very fitting symbol of old age with its silvery hair and its wintry drybarren unfruitful condition In Jeremiah 111 I see a rod of an almond tree [shaked]for I will hasten [shaked] myword to perform it the word is used as an emblem of promptitude Jacob desired his sons (Genesis 4311) to takewith them into Egypt of the best fruits of the land almonds etc as a present to Joseph probably because thistree was not a native of Egypt Aarons rod yielded almonds (Numbers 178 Hebrews 94) Moses was directed tomake certain parts of the candlestick for the ark of carved work like unto almonds (Exodus 2533 34) TheHebrew word luz translated hazel in the Authorized Version (Genesis 3037) is rendered in the Revised Versionalmond It is probable that luz denotes the wild almond while shaked denotes the cultivated variety
1 Almond Tree
The almond tree is mentioned in Ecclesiastes 125 where in the description of old age it says the almond-treeshall blossom The reference is probably to the white hair of age An almond tree in full bloom upon a distanthillside has a certain likeness to a head of white hair
2 A Rod of Almond
A rod of almond is referred to Genesis 3037 where Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar and of the almond (luz)and of the plane-tree and peeled white streaks in them as a means of securing ring-streaked speckled andspotted lambs and goats-a proceeding founded doubtless upon some ancient folklore Aarons rod that budded(Numbers 172 3) was an almond rod Also see Jeremiah 111 referred to above
3 The Blossoms
The blossoms of the almond are mentioned Exodus 2533 Exodus 3719 etc Cups made like almond-blossomsin one branch a knop (ie knob) and a flower is the description given of parts of the sacred candlesticks It isdoubtful exactly what was intended-the most probable is as Dillmann has suggested that the cup was modeledafter the calyx of the almond flower See CANDLESTICK
4 The Fruit
Israel directed his sons (Genesis 4311) to carry almonds as part of their present to Joseph in Egypt Palestine is aland where the almond flourishes whereas in Egypt it would appear to have been uncommon Almonds are todayesteemed a delicacy they are eaten salted or beaten into a pulp with sugar like the familiar German Marzipan
The almond is Amygdalus communis (NO Rosaceae) a tree very similar to the peach The common varietygrows to the height of 25 feet and produces an abundant blossom which appears before the leaves In Palestinethis is fully out at the end of January or beginning of February it is the harbinger of spring This early blossomingis supposed to be the origin of the name shaqedh which contains the idea of early The masses of almond trees

Charles Spurgeon | The Lesson of the Almond Tree
It is amazing to see beautiful almond trees blossoming all over Israel every winter They are the first tree to
blossom and yet the last to bear fruit
The almond tree is associated with one of the earliest prophecies of a young Jeremiah ldquoMoreover the word of
the Lord came to me saying lsquoJeremiah what do you seersquo And I said lsquoI see a branch of an almond treersquo Then
the Lord said to me lsquoYou have seen well for I am watching to perform My wordrsquordquo (Jeremiah 111-12)
This prophecy uses a play on words that carries a vital truth for Israel as well as for us The Hebrew word for
almond shaked is also translated ldquoto watchrdquo By seeing the almond branch God assured Jeremiah that He is
watching over His word to bring it to pass no matter the passage of time

In context God had just given Israel a warning ldquoI have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms
to root out and to pull down to destroy and to throw down to build and to plantrdquo (Jeremiah 19-10) Then after
Jeremiah sees the almond tree God shows him a boiling pot over Jerusalem which portends ldquocalamityrdquo
(Jeremiah 113-14) While the almond is a sign of hope that God will eventually fulfill His wonderful promises to
Israel (or to us) the context is more ominous
Later God repeated the warning through Jeremiah ldquoBehold I will watch (shaked) over them for evil and not for
goodhelliprdquo (Jeremiah 4427) Godrsquos message to Israel was that sin has consequences and there will come a time of
reckoning ndash namely the destruction of Jerusalem and the captivity of Israel
Years later Daniel would pray ldquoTherefore has the Lord watched (shaked) upon the evil and brought it upon us
for the Lord our God is righteous in all His works which He does for we obeyed not His voicerdquo (Daniel 914)
The lesson of the almond tree therefore is that God in heaven watches a sinful nation walking away from Him
and declares it will have consequences His message to humanity today is still the same God is watching He will
watch over His word either for curse or for blessing When sin and immorality engulf nations and even penetrate
the Church we should remember God is watching When nations assail Israel and seek to divide her land we
can be sure God is watching
Still the message of the ldquoalmondrdquo does carry a strong encouragement Jeremiah also foresees a miraculous
restoration for Israel ldquoAnd it shall come to pass that as I have watched over them to destroy and to afflicthellip so
will I watch over them to build and to plant says the Lordrdquo (Jeremiah 3128)
If we decide to consecrate our lives to God then He promises to watch over us for good Even with our
weaknesses and frailties His eyes are always upon us
Blogpost Cindybythesea on the Blossoming of the Almond Tree worthwhile reading in full and note the correlation
with the Menorahlampstand
Excerpts
January 28 falls within the early part of the Jewish month of Shevat Shevat is the eleventh month of the
Jewish religious calendar and the fifth month of the Jewish civil calendar
Now this is interesting because the month of Shevat has everything to do with two words that any watchman
would recognize ndash watching and awakening For it is during the month of Shevat that the almond tree first
begins to blossom And the almond tree is the first tree in Israel to bloom or awaken while the other trees are
still dormant or sleeping In fact the Hebrew words for almond tree and watch are almost exactly the same word
Shoqed Hebrew word H8245 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoto awake watch wake be alertrdquo and to ldquokeep watch
of be awakeful overrdquo

Shaqed Hebrew word H8247 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoalmond tree almondsrdquo
So with that in mind consider once again the verse from Jeremiah 111-12 ndash
ldquoThe word of the LORD came to me What do you see Jeremiah I see the branch of a ldquoshaqedrdquo (almond tree)
I replied The LORD said to me You have seen correctly for I am ldquoshoqedrdquo (watching) to see that my word is
fulfilledrdquo
Therefore we can see that the almond tree and the concept of watching are inextricably tied together One
website puts it this wayldquoThe almond tree is the first tree to sprout and the last one to lose its leaves Its flowers
symbolize the cups that crown the seven branches of the Jewish candelabra (Ex 2533-36 3719-20) In the
biblical books the almond tree is mentioned several times (eg Gen 3037-39 4311 Qo121-5) The prophet
Jeremiah mentions it in a vision The word of Yahweh was addressed to me asking ldquoJeremiah what to you
seerdquo ldquoI see a branch of the watchful treerdquo I answered Then Yahweh said ldquoWell seen I too watch over My Word
to see it fulfilledrdquo (Jer 111-12) In this text there is a word game between the Hebrew words shaqed almond
tree and shoqed I watch Also the image of the almond tree the first tree to bloom reminds us of the watchful
eye of God that watches over His word to set it to practice God is the almond tree of Israelrdquo
http19862751www1ofmmagHolyLnA2html
Therefore the almond tree is very important for the seven branched Menorah which stood in the Holy place was
specifically designed by God to be fashioned liked one
From an article titled ldquoThe Golden Lampstandrdquo ndash
ldquoEach of the six branches and the center shaft ended in a cup made in the form of an open almond flower At the
very top the opened petals of the flower held an oil lamp The branches and the central shaft were skillfully
decorated with that same open-almond blossom design with three on each branch and four on the center shaftrdquo
httpwwwbible-historycomtabernacleTAB4The_Golden_Lampstandhtm
The question is why was the almond tree Godrsquos chosen design
And while I canrsquot be exactly sure of the answer it is interesting to note that the seven lampstands (churches) of
Revelation 12 are most likely of the same design And Jesus while walking among them is examining them for
their works for believers by virtue of the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit are Godrsquos one and only source of light in
the world today therefore he expects to see their lights shining brightly and continuously as did the Menorah in
the temple of old
Interesting when you compare to Song of Songs 611 where the bridegroom goes down among the nut trees
(most likely almond) to see if they are in bloom
ldquoI went down to the grove of nut trees to look at the new growth in the valley to see if the vines had budded or
the pomegranates were in bloomrdquo (Pomegranate is another early bloomer)

It is obvious to see therefore that the blossoming of the almond tree is important to the prophetic timing of
Godrsquos word and Godrsquos strength and power to bring it to pass Making it therefore one of the most important
symbols in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy
Consider also this verse from Ecclesiastes 125
rdquo hellip when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets when the almond tree blossoms (Shevat) and
the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred Then man goes to his eternal home and
mourners go about the streetsrdquo
And from Genesis 4311 ndash
11 Then their father Israel said to them ldquoIf it must be then do this Put some of the best products of the land in
your bags and take them down to the man as a giftmdasha little balm and a little honey some spices and myrrh
some pistachio nuts and almonds
Both important verses because the almonds were a gift to Joseph ( a type of Christ) while his brothers were still
in unbelief (in other words while they still did not recognize him) just as Israel will be at the time of our
departure And from Ecclesiastes ndash Men in fear at the same time the almond tree is in bloom some taken to
their eternal home some left to mourn

Aarons rod refers to any of the staves carried by Mosess brother Aaron in the Torah The Bible tells how alongwith Mosess rod Aarons rod was endowed with miraculous power during the Plagues of Egypt that preceded theExodus There are two occasions where the Bible tells of the rods power even when it was not being held by itsowner
In Numbers 17 Korahs rebellion against Moses proclamation of the tribe of Levi as the priesthood has beenquashed and the entire congregations ensuing rebellion has resulted in a plague ended only by the intercessionof Moses and Aaron In order to stop the complaints of the Israelites God commands that each of the TwelveTribes provide a rod and only that of the tribe chosen to become priests will miraculously sprout overnight Aaronprovides his rod to represent the tribe of Levi and it put forth buds produced blossoms and bore ripe almonds(Numbers 178) as an evidence of the exclusive right to the priesthood of the tribe of Levi In commemoration ofthis decision it was commanded that the rod be put again before the testimony (Numbers 1710) According totradition the rod of Aaron bore sweet almonds on one side and bitter on the other if the Israelites followed theLord the sweet almonds would be ripe and edible but if they were to forsake the path of the Lord the bitteralmonds would predominate A later book of the Bible seems to assert (Hebrews 94) that the rod was kept in theArk of the Covenant The main fact however is thus confirmed that a rod was preserved in the Tabernacle as arelic of the institution of the Aaronic priesthood
Type of instant transformation into maturity (like in the rapture)
Aarons rod not only leafed out the next day it also had flower buds flowers and even ripe almonds on the samestick (Numbers 178) The mans name written on the sticks showed that it was the original one but the growth in

Calyx is the collective name for sepals of a flower Eastons Bible Dictionary explains
A native of Syria and Palestine In form blossoms and fruit it resembles the peach tree Itsblossoms are of a very pale pink colour and appear before its leaves Its Hebrew nameshaked signifying wakeful hastening is given to it on account of its putting forth its blossomsso early generally in February and sometimes even in January
The International Standard Bible encyclopedia says

Did you know that there are sweet almonds and bitter almonds Bitter almonds are toxic It becomes cyanide when crushedand mixed with other enzymes inside the almond
Gabriel Garcia Marquez once wrote poetically about the scent of bitter almonds and the fate ofunrequited love as a lead-in to murder by cyanide poisoning And in bitter almond oil as in atragic romance the sweet and the toxic are inextricably entangled
Benzaldehyde is made by the decomposition of amygdalin (named for Prunus amygdalus andin turn responsible for the bitterness that gives bitter almonds their common name) The otherdecomposition products are glucose (sweet) and hydrogen cyanide (toxic) The utility ofamygdalin to the plant is for defense specifically as a deterrent to grazers from eating thevaluable seed as well as the dispensable fruit Inside the cells of the almond kernel amygdalinis sequestered from the enzyme that breaks it down amygdalin hydrolase Crushing ashappens when the plant is grazed upon brings the enzyme and amygdalin together andcyanide is produced as a resultndashas much as 4-9mg per almond

Aarons rod famously budded almond leaves blossoms and fully ripe fruit The LORD did this to prove that Aaron was Hisdesignated spokesman with Moses
On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sproutedand put forth buds and produced blossoms and it bore ripe almonds (Numbers 178)
As with Aarons rod Jeremiah 111 use of the almond as a symbol Jeremiah 111-12
And the word of the Lord came to me saying ldquoJeremiah what do you seerdquo And I said ldquoI see an almond branchrdquo Then theLord said to me ldquoYou have seen well for I am watching over my word to perform itrdquo
Pulpit Commentary says of Verse 12 - I will hasten my word literally I am wakeful over my word alluding to the meaningof the Hebrew word for almond The LORD will hasten to perform His judgments of Jerusalem which He proclaimed in Hisword to Jeremiah
In Genesis 4311 one of the best gifts of the land that Josephs father Jacob urgedhis sons to bring to Egypt (unknowingly to Joseph) were almonds
In Plants of the Bible it says The almond Amygdalus communis is a mediumsized tree with narrow light green leaves Unlike the fig and olive the almond doesnot live to a great age The almond is a well-known symbol of resurrection becauseit is the first tree to flower The white five-parted flowers are up to two inchesacross and come in the late winter before the leaves of the tree develop Because they may flower as early as late January orearly February it is sometimes possible to find almond flowers with snow
Charles Spurgeon preached on the lessons of the Almond Tree He says here
While I have felt compelled to speak of these solemn Truths I am glad to turn to the other partof the subject which is thismdashthat God is quick in performing His promises They are like thealmond treemdashthey blossom and bear fruit very quickly ldquoWhat sort of promisesrdquo you ask ldquoarethus speedily fulfilledrdquo Well first the promise to give salvation to all these who believe in theLo rd Jesus Christ Listenmdash ldquoThe moment a sinner believes And trusts in his crucified God Hispardon at once he receives Redemption in full throrsquo His bloodrdquo I see ldquoa branch of an almondtreerdquo here The Psalmist says ldquoHis word runs very swiftlyrdquo and I am a witness that it doesMany years ago I a poor sinner went into a place of worship to hear the Gospel preachedThe preacher repeated the Lordrsquos command ldquoLook unto Me and be you savedrdquo I looked toChrist and I was saved that very instant It takes no longer to tell the story than it did to work themiracle of mercy Swift as a lightning flash I looked to Christ and the great deed was done Iwas a pardoned and justified soulmdashin a word I was saved Why should not the same thinghappen to you who are here It will happen to everyone who shall now be led to believe inJesus Christ
On this most joyous of days you who wonder at our joy it is because we looked to Christ as our all in all forgiver of sinsLamb of God You also look to Christ - and be saved The almond tree blooms quick with promises The most wondrouspromise of all is the resurrection of the Son of God
Aarons rod budded sprouted and offered fully formed fruit all at the same time According tothe law of nature all living things have a beginning and an end However this was not the casewith Aaronrsquos rod for God gave it a new lease of life This miracle hinted at the resurrection ofJesus Christ Even though death came to the world because of the actions of the first manAdam resurrection would come about on account of Jesus Christ (1 Cor 1517ndash22) Hence

Timing synchronicity of Almond Tree blossoming and planting of barley seeds
At the exact time the almond trees in Israel are starting to blossom on the day the
New Year of Trees is celebrated it is the time barley seeds are planted Barley is a
type of the easily winnowed bride The almond tree is a type of the Bride of Christ
Synching with this large parts of the earth are covered in white as well The dead in
Christ (under the earth) are covered in this typology too both the spiritually and their
remains physically
So if death is a planting of the seed and circumcission of the heart (opening of the
kernel) relates to salvation a wonderful picture of the dead in Christ and the bride
adorned in white and stripes of blood red (his blood covering us making our sins
white as snow) is forming of the rapture soon awaited
Proverbs 2513
Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD my soul shall be joyful in my God for he hath
clothed me with the garments of salvation he hath covered me with the robe of
righteousness as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments and as a bride

Demophon married Phyllis daughter of a Thracian king (possibly of Sithon) while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan war On the next day after the
wedding however he had to leave promising to return and take Phyllis with him as
soon as possible She gave him a casket and told not to open it unless he should
lose every hope to return to Thrace Demophon eventually settled in Cyprus and
forgot about Phyllis She would come to the sea shore every day expecting to see
the sails of his ship but in vain After the appointed date was past she either died of
grief or hanged herself One day Demophon opened the casket out of curiosity what
he saw there was so horrifying that he jumped onto his horse and rode like wild till he
fell off the horse on his own sword and died[5][6][7] Others however say that he did
return but Phyllis was already dead by the time when he embraced the lifeless
almond tree into which she was said to have transformed after death it started to
blossom[8]Phylis married Demophon King of Athens and son of Theseus while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan War[4]

Demophon duty bound to Greece returns home to help his father leaving Phyllis
behind She sends him away with a casket telling him that it contained a sacrament
of Rhea and asking him to open it only if he has given up hope of returning to her
From here the story diverges In one version Phyllis realizes that he will not return
and commits suicide by hanging herself from a tree Where she is buried an almond
tree grows which blossoms when Demophon returns to her[1] In a second version of
the story Demophon opens the casket and horrified by what he saw in there rides
off in such great haste that his horse stumbles and he accidentally falls on his own
sword[5]
In English this version goes back at least to Gower who writes in Confessio

Please note Almond Blossom is not on display in the museum until 6 February 2017 It is undergoing a detailedexamination in the conservation studio The painting returns to the gallery on 7 February
Large blossom branches like this against a blue sky were one of Van Goghrsquos favourite subjects Almond treesflower early in the spring making them a symbol of new life Van Gogh borrowed the subject the bold outlines andthe positioning of the tree in the picture plane from Japanese printmaking
The painting was a gift for his brother Theo and sister-in-law Jo who had just had a baby son Vincent Willem Inthe letter announcing the new arrival Theo wrote lsquoAs we told you wersquoll name him after you and Irsquom making thewish that he may be as determined and as courageous as yoursquo Unsurprisingly it was this work that remainedclosest to the hearts of the Van Gogh family Vincent Willem went on to found the Van Gogh Museum
Biblical analysis of the almond tree
httpbiblehubcomtopicalaalmondhtm
Its Hebrew name shaked signifying wakeful hastening is given to it on account of its putting forth its blossomsso early generally in February and sometimes even in January In Ecclesiastes 125 it is referred to asillustrative probably of the haste with which old age comes There are others however who still contend for theold interpretation here The almond tree bears its blossoms in the midst of winter on a naked leafless stem andthese blossoms (reddish or flesh-coloured in the beginning) seem at the time of their fall exactly like white snow-flakes In this way the almond blossom is a very fitting symbol of old age with its silvery hair and its wintry drybarren unfruitful condition In Jeremiah 111 I see a rod of an almond tree [shaked]for I will hasten [shaked] myword to perform it the word is used as an emblem of promptitude Jacob desired his sons (Genesis 4311) to takewith them into Egypt of the best fruits of the land almonds etc as a present to Joseph probably because thistree was not a native of Egypt Aarons rod yielded almonds (Numbers 178 Hebrews 94) Moses was directed tomake certain parts of the candlestick for the ark of carved work like unto almonds (Exodus 2533 34) TheHebrew word luz translated hazel in the Authorized Version (Genesis 3037) is rendered in the Revised Versionalmond It is probable that luz denotes the wild almond while shaked denotes the cultivated variety
1 Almond Tree
The almond tree is mentioned in Ecclesiastes 125 where in the description of old age it says the almond-treeshall blossom The reference is probably to the white hair of age An almond tree in full bloom upon a distanthillside has a certain likeness to a head of white hair
2 A Rod of Almond
A rod of almond is referred to Genesis 3037 where Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar and of the almond (luz)and of the plane-tree and peeled white streaks in them as a means of securing ring-streaked speckled andspotted lambs and goats-a proceeding founded doubtless upon some ancient folklore Aarons rod that budded(Numbers 172 3) was an almond rod Also see Jeremiah 111 referred to above
3 The Blossoms
The blossoms of the almond are mentioned Exodus 2533 Exodus 3719 etc Cups made like almond-blossomsin one branch a knop (ie knob) and a flower is the description given of parts of the sacred candlesticks It isdoubtful exactly what was intended-the most probable is as Dillmann has suggested that the cup was modeledafter the calyx of the almond flower See CANDLESTICK
4 The Fruit
Israel directed his sons (Genesis 4311) to carry almonds as part of their present to Joseph in Egypt Palestine is aland where the almond flourishes whereas in Egypt it would appear to have been uncommon Almonds are todayesteemed a delicacy they are eaten salted or beaten into a pulp with sugar like the familiar German Marzipan
The almond is Amygdalus communis (NO Rosaceae) a tree very similar to the peach The common varietygrows to the height of 25 feet and produces an abundant blossom which appears before the leaves In Palestinethis is fully out at the end of January or beginning of February it is the harbinger of spring This early blossomingis supposed to be the origin of the name shaqedh which contains the idea of early The masses of almond trees

Charles Spurgeon | The Lesson of the Almond Tree
It is amazing to see beautiful almond trees blossoming all over Israel every winter They are the first tree to
blossom and yet the last to bear fruit
The almond tree is associated with one of the earliest prophecies of a young Jeremiah ldquoMoreover the word of
the Lord came to me saying lsquoJeremiah what do you seersquo And I said lsquoI see a branch of an almond treersquo Then
the Lord said to me lsquoYou have seen well for I am watching to perform My wordrsquordquo (Jeremiah 111-12)
This prophecy uses a play on words that carries a vital truth for Israel as well as for us The Hebrew word for
almond shaked is also translated ldquoto watchrdquo By seeing the almond branch God assured Jeremiah that He is
watching over His word to bring it to pass no matter the passage of time

In context God had just given Israel a warning ldquoI have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms
to root out and to pull down to destroy and to throw down to build and to plantrdquo (Jeremiah 19-10) Then after
Jeremiah sees the almond tree God shows him a boiling pot over Jerusalem which portends ldquocalamityrdquo
(Jeremiah 113-14) While the almond is a sign of hope that God will eventually fulfill His wonderful promises to
Israel (or to us) the context is more ominous
Later God repeated the warning through Jeremiah ldquoBehold I will watch (shaked) over them for evil and not for
goodhelliprdquo (Jeremiah 4427) Godrsquos message to Israel was that sin has consequences and there will come a time of
reckoning ndash namely the destruction of Jerusalem and the captivity of Israel
Years later Daniel would pray ldquoTherefore has the Lord watched (shaked) upon the evil and brought it upon us
for the Lord our God is righteous in all His works which He does for we obeyed not His voicerdquo (Daniel 914)
The lesson of the almond tree therefore is that God in heaven watches a sinful nation walking away from Him
and declares it will have consequences His message to humanity today is still the same God is watching He will
watch over His word either for curse or for blessing When sin and immorality engulf nations and even penetrate
the Church we should remember God is watching When nations assail Israel and seek to divide her land we
can be sure God is watching
Still the message of the ldquoalmondrdquo does carry a strong encouragement Jeremiah also foresees a miraculous
restoration for Israel ldquoAnd it shall come to pass that as I have watched over them to destroy and to afflicthellip so
will I watch over them to build and to plant says the Lordrdquo (Jeremiah 3128)
If we decide to consecrate our lives to God then He promises to watch over us for good Even with our
weaknesses and frailties His eyes are always upon us
Blogpost Cindybythesea on the Blossoming of the Almond Tree worthwhile reading in full and note the correlation
with the Menorahlampstand
Excerpts
January 28 falls within the early part of the Jewish month of Shevat Shevat is the eleventh month of the
Jewish religious calendar and the fifth month of the Jewish civil calendar
Now this is interesting because the month of Shevat has everything to do with two words that any watchman
would recognize ndash watching and awakening For it is during the month of Shevat that the almond tree first
begins to blossom And the almond tree is the first tree in Israel to bloom or awaken while the other trees are
still dormant or sleeping In fact the Hebrew words for almond tree and watch are almost exactly the same word
Shoqed Hebrew word H8245 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoto awake watch wake be alertrdquo and to ldquokeep watch
of be awakeful overrdquo

Shaqed Hebrew word H8247 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoalmond tree almondsrdquo
So with that in mind consider once again the verse from Jeremiah 111-12 ndash
ldquoThe word of the LORD came to me What do you see Jeremiah I see the branch of a ldquoshaqedrdquo (almond tree)
I replied The LORD said to me You have seen correctly for I am ldquoshoqedrdquo (watching) to see that my word is
fulfilledrdquo
Therefore we can see that the almond tree and the concept of watching are inextricably tied together One
website puts it this wayldquoThe almond tree is the first tree to sprout and the last one to lose its leaves Its flowers
symbolize the cups that crown the seven branches of the Jewish candelabra (Ex 2533-36 3719-20) In the
biblical books the almond tree is mentioned several times (eg Gen 3037-39 4311 Qo121-5) The prophet
Jeremiah mentions it in a vision The word of Yahweh was addressed to me asking ldquoJeremiah what to you
seerdquo ldquoI see a branch of the watchful treerdquo I answered Then Yahweh said ldquoWell seen I too watch over My Word
to see it fulfilledrdquo (Jer 111-12) In this text there is a word game between the Hebrew words shaqed almond
tree and shoqed I watch Also the image of the almond tree the first tree to bloom reminds us of the watchful
eye of God that watches over His word to set it to practice God is the almond tree of Israelrdquo
http19862751www1ofmmagHolyLnA2html
Therefore the almond tree is very important for the seven branched Menorah which stood in the Holy place was
specifically designed by God to be fashioned liked one
From an article titled ldquoThe Golden Lampstandrdquo ndash
ldquoEach of the six branches and the center shaft ended in a cup made in the form of an open almond flower At the
very top the opened petals of the flower held an oil lamp The branches and the central shaft were skillfully
decorated with that same open-almond blossom design with three on each branch and four on the center shaftrdquo
httpwwwbible-historycomtabernacleTAB4The_Golden_Lampstandhtm
The question is why was the almond tree Godrsquos chosen design
And while I canrsquot be exactly sure of the answer it is interesting to note that the seven lampstands (churches) of
Revelation 12 are most likely of the same design And Jesus while walking among them is examining them for
their works for believers by virtue of the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit are Godrsquos one and only source of light in
the world today therefore he expects to see their lights shining brightly and continuously as did the Menorah in
the temple of old
Interesting when you compare to Song of Songs 611 where the bridegroom goes down among the nut trees
(most likely almond) to see if they are in bloom
ldquoI went down to the grove of nut trees to look at the new growth in the valley to see if the vines had budded or
the pomegranates were in bloomrdquo (Pomegranate is another early bloomer)

It is obvious to see therefore that the blossoming of the almond tree is important to the prophetic timing of
Godrsquos word and Godrsquos strength and power to bring it to pass Making it therefore one of the most important
symbols in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy
Consider also this verse from Ecclesiastes 125
rdquo hellip when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets when the almond tree blossoms (Shevat) and
the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred Then man goes to his eternal home and
mourners go about the streetsrdquo
And from Genesis 4311 ndash
11 Then their father Israel said to them ldquoIf it must be then do this Put some of the best products of the land in
your bags and take them down to the man as a giftmdasha little balm and a little honey some spices and myrrh
some pistachio nuts and almonds
Both important verses because the almonds were a gift to Joseph ( a type of Christ) while his brothers were still
in unbelief (in other words while they still did not recognize him) just as Israel will be at the time of our
departure And from Ecclesiastes ndash Men in fear at the same time the almond tree is in bloom some taken to
their eternal home some left to mourn

Aarons rod refers to any of the staves carried by Mosess brother Aaron in the Torah The Bible tells how alongwith Mosess rod Aarons rod was endowed with miraculous power during the Plagues of Egypt that preceded theExodus There are two occasions where the Bible tells of the rods power even when it was not being held by itsowner
In Numbers 17 Korahs rebellion against Moses proclamation of the tribe of Levi as the priesthood has beenquashed and the entire congregations ensuing rebellion has resulted in a plague ended only by the intercessionof Moses and Aaron In order to stop the complaints of the Israelites God commands that each of the TwelveTribes provide a rod and only that of the tribe chosen to become priests will miraculously sprout overnight Aaronprovides his rod to represent the tribe of Levi and it put forth buds produced blossoms and bore ripe almonds(Numbers 178) as an evidence of the exclusive right to the priesthood of the tribe of Levi In commemoration ofthis decision it was commanded that the rod be put again before the testimony (Numbers 1710) According totradition the rod of Aaron bore sweet almonds on one side and bitter on the other if the Israelites followed theLord the sweet almonds would be ripe and edible but if they were to forsake the path of the Lord the bitteralmonds would predominate A later book of the Bible seems to assert (Hebrews 94) that the rod was kept in theArk of the Covenant The main fact however is thus confirmed that a rod was preserved in the Tabernacle as arelic of the institution of the Aaronic priesthood
Type of instant transformation into maturity (like in the rapture)
Aarons rod not only leafed out the next day it also had flower buds flowers and even ripe almonds on the samestick (Numbers 178) The mans name written on the sticks showed that it was the original one but the growth in

Did you know that there are sweet almonds and bitter almonds Bitter almonds are toxic It becomes cyanide when crushedand mixed with other enzymes inside the almond
Gabriel Garcia Marquez once wrote poetically about the scent of bitter almonds and the fate ofunrequited love as a lead-in to murder by cyanide poisoning And in bitter almond oil as in atragic romance the sweet and the toxic are inextricably entangled
Benzaldehyde is made by the decomposition of amygdalin (named for Prunus amygdalus andin turn responsible for the bitterness that gives bitter almonds their common name) The otherdecomposition products are glucose (sweet) and hydrogen cyanide (toxic) The utility ofamygdalin to the plant is for defense specifically as a deterrent to grazers from eating thevaluable seed as well as the dispensable fruit Inside the cells of the almond kernel amygdalinis sequestered from the enzyme that breaks it down amygdalin hydrolase Crushing ashappens when the plant is grazed upon brings the enzyme and amygdalin together andcyanide is produced as a resultndashas much as 4-9mg per almond

Aarons rod famously budded almond leaves blossoms and fully ripe fruit The LORD did this to prove that Aaron was Hisdesignated spokesman with Moses
On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sproutedand put forth buds and produced blossoms and it bore ripe almonds (Numbers 178)
As with Aarons rod Jeremiah 111 use of the almond as a symbol Jeremiah 111-12
And the word of the Lord came to me saying ldquoJeremiah what do you seerdquo And I said ldquoI see an almond branchrdquo Then theLord said to me ldquoYou have seen well for I am watching over my word to perform itrdquo
Pulpit Commentary says of Verse 12 - I will hasten my word literally I am wakeful over my word alluding to the meaningof the Hebrew word for almond The LORD will hasten to perform His judgments of Jerusalem which He proclaimed in Hisword to Jeremiah
In Genesis 4311 one of the best gifts of the land that Josephs father Jacob urgedhis sons to bring to Egypt (unknowingly to Joseph) were almonds
In Plants of the Bible it says The almond Amygdalus communis is a mediumsized tree with narrow light green leaves Unlike the fig and olive the almond doesnot live to a great age The almond is a well-known symbol of resurrection becauseit is the first tree to flower The white five-parted flowers are up to two inchesacross and come in the late winter before the leaves of the tree develop Because they may flower as early as late January orearly February it is sometimes possible to find almond flowers with snow
Charles Spurgeon preached on the lessons of the Almond Tree He says here
While I have felt compelled to speak of these solemn Truths I am glad to turn to the other partof the subject which is thismdashthat God is quick in performing His promises They are like thealmond treemdashthey blossom and bear fruit very quickly ldquoWhat sort of promisesrdquo you ask ldquoarethus speedily fulfilledrdquo Well first the promise to give salvation to all these who believe in theLo rd Jesus Christ Listenmdash ldquoThe moment a sinner believes And trusts in his crucified God Hispardon at once he receives Redemption in full throrsquo His bloodrdquo I see ldquoa branch of an almondtreerdquo here The Psalmist says ldquoHis word runs very swiftlyrdquo and I am a witness that it doesMany years ago I a poor sinner went into a place of worship to hear the Gospel preachedThe preacher repeated the Lordrsquos command ldquoLook unto Me and be you savedrdquo I looked toChrist and I was saved that very instant It takes no longer to tell the story than it did to work themiracle of mercy Swift as a lightning flash I looked to Christ and the great deed was done Iwas a pardoned and justified soulmdashin a word I was saved Why should not the same thinghappen to you who are here It will happen to everyone who shall now be led to believe inJesus Christ
On this most joyous of days you who wonder at our joy it is because we looked to Christ as our all in all forgiver of sinsLamb of God You also look to Christ - and be saved The almond tree blooms quick with promises The most wondrouspromise of all is the resurrection of the Son of God
Aarons rod budded sprouted and offered fully formed fruit all at the same time According tothe law of nature all living things have a beginning and an end However this was not the casewith Aaronrsquos rod for God gave it a new lease of life This miracle hinted at the resurrection ofJesus Christ Even though death came to the world because of the actions of the first manAdam resurrection would come about on account of Jesus Christ (1 Cor 1517ndash22) Hence

Timing synchronicity of Almond Tree blossoming and planting of barley seeds
At the exact time the almond trees in Israel are starting to blossom on the day the
New Year of Trees is celebrated it is the time barley seeds are planted Barley is a
type of the easily winnowed bride The almond tree is a type of the Bride of Christ
Synching with this large parts of the earth are covered in white as well The dead in
Christ (under the earth) are covered in this typology too both the spiritually and their
remains physically
So if death is a planting of the seed and circumcission of the heart (opening of the
kernel) relates to salvation a wonderful picture of the dead in Christ and the bride
adorned in white and stripes of blood red (his blood covering us making our sins
white as snow) is forming of the rapture soon awaited
Proverbs 2513
Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him

Demophon married Phyllis daughter of a Thracian king (possibly of Sithon) while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan war On the next day after the
wedding however he had to leave promising to return and take Phyllis with him as
soon as possible She gave him a casket and told not to open it unless he should
lose every hope to return to Thrace Demophon eventually settled in Cyprus and
forgot about Phyllis She would come to the sea shore every day expecting to see
the sails of his ship but in vain After the appointed date was past she either died of
grief or hanged herself One day Demophon opened the casket out of curiosity what
he saw there was so horrifying that he jumped onto his horse and rode like wild till he
fell off the horse on his own sword and died[5][6][7] Others however say that he did
return but Phyllis was already dead by the time when he embraced the lifeless
almond tree into which she was said to have transformed after death it started to
blossom[8]Phylis married Demophon King of Athens and son of Theseus while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan War[4]

Demophon duty bound to Greece returns home to help his father leaving Phyllis

From here the story diverges In one version Phyllis realizes that he will not return
and commits suicide by hanging herself from a tree Where she is buried an almond
tree grows which blossoms when Demophon returns to her[1] In a second version of
the story Demophon opens the casket and horrified by what he saw in there rides

Please note Almond Blossom is not on display in the museum until 6 February 2017 It is undergoing a detailedexamination in the conservation studio The painting returns to the gallery on 7 February
Large blossom branches like this against a blue sky were one of Van Goghrsquos favourite subjects Almond treesflower early in the spring making them a symbol of new life Van Gogh borrowed the subject the bold outlines andthe positioning of the tree in the picture plane from Japanese printmaking
The painting was a gift for his brother Theo and sister-in-law Jo who had just had a baby son Vincent Willem Inthe letter announcing the new arrival Theo wrote lsquoAs we told you wersquoll name him after you and Irsquom making thewish that he may be as determined and as courageous as yoursquo Unsurprisingly it was this work that remainedclosest to the hearts of the Van Gogh family Vincent Willem went on to found the Van Gogh Museum
Biblical analysis of the almond tree
httpbiblehubcomtopicalaalmondhtm
Its Hebrew name shaked signifying wakeful hastening is given to it on account of its putting forth its blossomsso early generally in February and sometimes even in January In Ecclesiastes 125 it is referred to asillustrative probably of the haste with which old age comes There are others however who still contend for theold interpretation here The almond tree bears its blossoms in the midst of winter on a naked leafless stem andthese blossoms (reddish or flesh-coloured in the beginning) seem at the time of their fall exactly like white snow-flakes In this way the almond blossom is a very fitting symbol of old age with its silvery hair and its wintry drybarren unfruitful condition In Jeremiah 111 I see a rod of an almond tree [shaked]for I will hasten [shaked] myword to perform it the word is used as an emblem of promptitude Jacob desired his sons (Genesis 4311) to takewith them into Egypt of the best fruits of the land almonds etc as a present to Joseph probably because thistree was not a native of Egypt Aarons rod yielded almonds (Numbers 178 Hebrews 94) Moses was directed tomake certain parts of the candlestick for the ark of carved work like unto almonds (Exodus 2533 34) TheHebrew word luz translated hazel in the Authorized Version (Genesis 3037) is rendered in the Revised Versionalmond It is probable that luz denotes the wild almond while shaked denotes the cultivated variety
1 Almond Tree
The almond tree is mentioned in Ecclesiastes 125 where in the description of old age it says the almond-treeshall blossom The reference is probably to the white hair of age An almond tree in full bloom upon a distanthillside has a certain likeness to a head of white hair
2 A Rod of Almond
A rod of almond is referred to Genesis 3037 where Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar and of the almond (luz)and of the plane-tree and peeled white streaks in them as a means of securing ring-streaked speckled andspotted lambs and goats-a proceeding founded doubtless upon some ancient folklore Aarons rod that budded(Numbers 172 3) was an almond rod Also see Jeremiah 111 referred to above
3 The Blossoms
The blossoms of the almond are mentioned Exodus 2533 Exodus 3719 etc Cups made like almond-blossomsin one branch a knop (ie knob) and a flower is the description given of parts of the sacred candlesticks It isdoubtful exactly what was intended-the most probable is as Dillmann has suggested that the cup was modeledafter the calyx of the almond flower See CANDLESTICK
4 The Fruit
Israel directed his sons (Genesis 4311) to carry almonds as part of their present to Joseph in Egypt Palestine is aland where the almond flourishes whereas in Egypt it would appear to have been uncommon Almonds are todayesteemed a delicacy they are eaten salted or beaten into a pulp with sugar like the familiar German Marzipan
The almond is Amygdalus communis (NO Rosaceae) a tree very similar to the peach The common varietygrows to the height of 25 feet and produces an abundant blossom which appears before the leaves In Palestinethis is fully out at the end of January or beginning of February it is the harbinger of spring This early blossomingis supposed to be the origin of the name shaqedh which contains the idea of early The masses of almond trees

Charles Spurgeon | The Lesson of the Almond Tree
It is amazing to see beautiful almond trees blossoming all over Israel every winter They are the first tree to
blossom and yet the last to bear fruit
The almond tree is associated with one of the earliest prophecies of a young Jeremiah ldquoMoreover the word of
the Lord came to me saying lsquoJeremiah what do you seersquo And I said lsquoI see a branch of an almond treersquo Then
the Lord said to me lsquoYou have seen well for I am watching to perform My wordrsquordquo (Jeremiah 111-12)
This prophecy uses a play on words that carries a vital truth for Israel as well as for us The Hebrew word for
almond shaked is also translated ldquoto watchrdquo By seeing the almond branch God assured Jeremiah that He is
watching over His word to bring it to pass no matter the passage of time

In context God had just given Israel a warning ldquoI have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms
to root out and to pull down to destroy and to throw down to build and to plantrdquo (Jeremiah 19-10) Then after
Jeremiah sees the almond tree God shows him a boiling pot over Jerusalem which portends ldquocalamityrdquo
(Jeremiah 113-14) While the almond is a sign of hope that God will eventually fulfill His wonderful promises to
Israel (or to us) the context is more ominous
Later God repeated the warning through Jeremiah ldquoBehold I will watch (shaked) over them for evil and not for
goodhelliprdquo (Jeremiah 4427) Godrsquos message to Israel was that sin has consequences and there will come a time of
reckoning ndash namely the destruction of Jerusalem and the captivity of Israel
Years later Daniel would pray ldquoTherefore has the Lord watched (shaked) upon the evil and brought it upon us
for the Lord our God is righteous in all His works which He does for we obeyed not His voicerdquo (Daniel 914)
The lesson of the almond tree therefore is that God in heaven watches a sinful nation walking away from Him
and declares it will have consequences His message to humanity today is still the same God is watching He will
watch over His word either for curse or for blessing When sin and immorality engulf nations and even penetrate
the Church we should remember God is watching When nations assail Israel and seek to divide her land we
can be sure God is watching
Still the message of the ldquoalmondrdquo does carry a strong encouragement Jeremiah also foresees a miraculous
restoration for Israel ldquoAnd it shall come to pass that as I have watched over them to destroy and to afflicthellip so
will I watch over them to build and to plant says the Lordrdquo (Jeremiah 3128)
If we decide to consecrate our lives to God then He promises to watch over us for good Even with our
weaknesses and frailties His eyes are always upon us
Blogpost Cindybythesea on the Blossoming of the Almond Tree worthwhile reading in full and note the correlation
with the Menorahlampstand
Excerpts
January 28 falls within the early part of the Jewish month of Shevat Shevat is the eleventh month of the
Jewish religious calendar and the fifth month of the Jewish civil calendar
Now this is interesting because the month of Shevat has everything to do with two words that any watchman
would recognize ndash watching and awakening For it is during the month of Shevat that the almond tree first
begins to blossom And the almond tree is the first tree in Israel to bloom or awaken while the other trees are
still dormant or sleeping In fact the Hebrew words for almond tree and watch are almost exactly the same word
Shoqed Hebrew word H8245 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoto awake watch wake be alertrdquo and to ldquokeep watch
of be awakeful overrdquo

Shaqed Hebrew word H8247 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoalmond tree almondsrdquo
So with that in mind consider once again the verse from Jeremiah 111-12 ndash
ldquoThe word of the LORD came to me What do you see Jeremiah I see the branch of a ldquoshaqedrdquo (almond tree)
I replied The LORD said to me You have seen correctly for I am ldquoshoqedrdquo (watching) to see that my word is
fulfilledrdquo
Therefore we can see that the almond tree and the concept of watching are inextricably tied together One
website puts it this wayldquoThe almond tree is the first tree to sprout and the last one to lose its leaves Its flowers
symbolize the cups that crown the seven branches of the Jewish candelabra (Ex 2533-36 3719-20) In the
biblical books the almond tree is mentioned several times (eg Gen 3037-39 4311 Qo121-5) The prophet
Jeremiah mentions it in a vision The word of Yahweh was addressed to me asking ldquoJeremiah what to you
seerdquo ldquoI see a branch of the watchful treerdquo I answered Then Yahweh said ldquoWell seen I too watch over My Word
to see it fulfilledrdquo (Jer 111-12) In this text there is a word game between the Hebrew words shaqed almond
tree and shoqed I watch Also the image of the almond tree the first tree to bloom reminds us of the watchful
eye of God that watches over His word to set it to practice God is the almond tree of Israelrdquo
http19862751www1ofmmagHolyLnA2html
Therefore the almond tree is very important for the seven branched Menorah which stood in the Holy place was
specifically designed by God to be fashioned liked one
From an article titled ldquoThe Golden Lampstandrdquo ndash
ldquoEach of the six branches and the center shaft ended in a cup made in the form of an open almond flower At the
very top the opened petals of the flower held an oil lamp The branches and the central shaft were skillfully
decorated with that same open-almond blossom design with three on each branch and four on the center shaftrdquo
httpwwwbible-historycomtabernacleTAB4The_Golden_Lampstandhtm
The question is why was the almond tree Godrsquos chosen design
And while I canrsquot be exactly sure of the answer it is interesting to note that the seven lampstands (churches) of
Revelation 12 are most likely of the same design And Jesus while walking among them is examining them for
their works for believers by virtue of the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit are Godrsquos one and only source of light in
the world today therefore he expects to see their lights shining brightly and continuously as did the Menorah in
the temple of old
Interesting when you compare to Song of Songs 611 where the bridegroom goes down among the nut trees
(most likely almond) to see if they are in bloom
ldquoI went down to the grove of nut trees to look at the new growth in the valley to see if the vines had budded or
the pomegranates were in bloomrdquo (Pomegranate is another early bloomer)

It is obvious to see therefore that the blossoming of the almond tree is important to the prophetic timing of
Godrsquos word and Godrsquos strength and power to bring it to pass Making it therefore one of the most important
symbols in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy
Consider also this verse from Ecclesiastes 125
rdquo hellip when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets when the almond tree blossoms (Shevat) and
the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred Then man goes to his eternal home and
mourners go about the streetsrdquo
And from Genesis 4311 ndash
11 Then their father Israel said to them ldquoIf it must be then do this Put some of the best products of the land in
your bags and take them down to the man as a giftmdasha little balm and a little honey some spices and myrrh
some pistachio nuts and almonds
Both important verses because the almonds were a gift to Joseph ( a type of Christ) while his brothers were still
in unbelief (in other words while they still did not recognize him) just as Israel will be at the time of our
departure And from Ecclesiastes ndash Men in fear at the same time the almond tree is in bloom some taken to
their eternal home some left to mourn

Aarons rod refers to any of the staves carried by Mosess brother Aaron in the Torah The Bible tells how alongwith Mosess rod Aarons rod was endowed with miraculous power during the Plagues of Egypt that preceded theExodus There are two occasions where the Bible tells of the rods power even when it was not being held by itsowner
In Numbers 17 Korahs rebellion against Moses proclamation of the tribe of Levi as the priesthood has beenquashed and the entire congregations ensuing rebellion has resulted in a plague ended only by the intercessionof Moses and Aaron In order to stop the complaints of the Israelites God commands that each of the TwelveTribes provide a rod and only that of the tribe chosen to become priests will miraculously sprout overnight Aaronprovides his rod to represent the tribe of Levi and it put forth buds produced blossoms and bore ripe almonds(Numbers 178) as an evidence of the exclusive right to the priesthood of the tribe of Levi In commemoration ofthis decision it was commanded that the rod be put again before the testimony (Numbers 1710) According totradition the rod of Aaron bore sweet almonds on one side and bitter on the other if the Israelites followed theLord the sweet almonds would be ripe and edible but if they were to forsake the path of the Lord the bitteralmonds would predominate A later book of the Bible seems to assert (Hebrews 94) that the rod was kept in theArk of the Covenant The main fact however is thus confirmed that a rod was preserved in the Tabernacle as arelic of the institution of the Aaronic priesthood
Type of instant transformation into maturity (like in the rapture)
Aarons rod not only leafed out the next day it also had flower buds flowers and even ripe almonds on the samestick (Numbers 178) The mans name written on the sticks showed that it was the original one but the growth in

Did you know that there are sweet almonds and bitter almonds Bitter almonds are toxic It becomes cyanide when crushedand mixed with other enzymes inside the almond
Gabriel Garcia Marquez once wrote poetically about the scent of bitter almonds and the fate ofunrequited love as a lead-in to murder by cyanide poisoning And in bitter almond oil as in atragic romance the sweet and the toxic are inextricably entangled
Benzaldehyde is made by the decomposition of amygdalin (named for Prunus amygdalus andin turn responsible for the bitterness that gives bitter almonds their common name) The otherdecomposition products are glucose (sweet) and hydrogen cyanide (toxic) The utility ofamygdalin to the plant is for defense specifically as a deterrent to grazers from eating thevaluable seed as well as the dispensable fruit Inside the cells of the almond kernel amygdalinis sequestered from the enzyme that breaks it down amygdalin hydrolase Crushing ashappens when the plant is grazed upon brings the enzyme and amygdalin together andcyanide is produced as a resultndashas much as 4-9mg per almond

Aarons rod famously budded almond leaves blossoms and fully ripe fruit The LORD did this to prove that Aaron was Hisdesignated spokesman with Moses
On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sproutedand put forth buds and produced blossoms and it bore ripe almonds (Numbers 178)
As with Aarons rod Jeremiah 111 use of the almond as a symbol Jeremiah 111-12
And the word of the Lord came to me saying ldquoJeremiah what do you seerdquo And I said ldquoI see an almond branchrdquo Then theLord said to me ldquoYou have seen well for I am watching over my word to perform itrdquo
Pulpit Commentary says of Verse 12 - I will hasten my word literally I am wakeful over my word alluding to the meaningof the Hebrew word for almond The LORD will hasten to perform His judgments of Jerusalem which He proclaimed in Hisword to Jeremiah
In Genesis 4311 one of the best gifts of the land that Josephs father Jacob urgedhis sons to bring to Egypt (unknowingly to Joseph) were almonds
In Plants of the Bible it says The almond Amygdalus communis is a mediumsized tree with narrow light green leaves Unlike the fig and olive the almond doesnot live to a great age The almond is a well-known symbol of resurrection becauseit is the first tree to flower The white five-parted flowers are up to two inchesacross and come in the late winter before the leaves of the tree develop Because they may flower as early as late January orearly February it is sometimes possible to find almond flowers with snow
Charles Spurgeon preached on the lessons of the Almond Tree He says here
While I have felt compelled to speak of these solemn Truths I am glad to turn to the other partof the subject which is thismdashthat God is quick in performing His promises They are like thealmond treemdashthey blossom and bear fruit very quickly ldquoWhat sort of promisesrdquo you ask ldquoarethus speedily fulfilledrdquo Well first the promise to give salvation to all these who believe in theLo rd Jesus Christ Listenmdash ldquoThe moment a sinner believes And trusts in his crucified God Hispardon at once he receives Redemption in full throrsquo His bloodrdquo I see ldquoa branch of an almondtreerdquo here The Psalmist says ldquoHis word runs very swiftlyrdquo and I am a witness that it doesMany years ago I a poor sinner went into a place of worship to hear the Gospel preachedThe preacher repeated the Lordrsquos command ldquoLook unto Me and be you savedrdquo I looked toChrist and I was saved that very instant It takes no longer to tell the story than it did to work themiracle of mercy Swift as a lightning flash I looked to Christ and the great deed was done Iwas a pardoned and justified soulmdashin a word I was saved Why should not the same thinghappen to you who are here It will happen to everyone who shall now be led to believe inJesus Christ
On this most joyous of days you who wonder at our joy it is because we looked to Christ as our all in all forgiver of sinsLamb of God You also look to Christ - and be saved The almond tree blooms quick with promises The most wondrouspromise of all is the resurrection of the Son of God
Aarons rod budded sprouted and offered fully formed fruit all at the same time According tothe law of nature all living things have a beginning and an end However this was not the casewith Aaronrsquos rod for God gave it a new lease of life This miracle hinted at the resurrection ofJesus Christ Even though death came to the world because of the actions of the first manAdam resurrection would come about on account of Jesus Christ (1 Cor 1517ndash22) Hence

Timing synchronicity of Almond Tree blossoming and planting of barley seeds
At the exact time the almond trees in Israel are starting to blossom on the day the
New Year of Trees is celebrated it is the time barley seeds are planted Barley is a
type of the easily winnowed bride The almond tree is a type of the Bride of Christ
Synching with this large parts of the earth are covered in white as well The dead in
Christ (under the earth) are covered in this typology too both the spiritually and their
remains physically
So if death is a planting of the seed and circumcission of the heart (opening of the
kernel) relates to salvation a wonderful picture of the dead in Christ and the bride
adorned in white and stripes of blood red (his blood covering us making our sins
white as snow) is forming of the rapture soon awaited
Proverbs 2513
Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him

Demophon married Phyllis daughter of a Thracian king (possibly of Sithon) while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan war On the next day after the
wedding however he had to leave promising to return and take Phyllis with him as
soon as possible She gave him a casket and told not to open it unless he should
lose every hope to return to Thrace Demophon eventually settled in Cyprus and
forgot about Phyllis She would come to the sea shore every day expecting to see
the sails of his ship but in vain After the appointed date was past she either died of
grief or hanged herself One day Demophon opened the casket out of curiosity what
he saw there was so horrifying that he jumped onto his horse and rode like wild till he
fell off the horse on his own sword and died[5][6][7] Others however say that he did
return but Phyllis was already dead by the time when he embraced the lifeless
almond tree into which she was said to have transformed after death it started to
blossom[8]Phylis married Demophon King of Athens and son of Theseus while he

Charles Spurgeon | The Lesson of the Almond Tree
It is amazing to see beautiful almond trees blossoming all over Israel every winter They are the first tree to
blossom and yet the last to bear fruit
The almond tree is associated with one of the earliest prophecies of a young Jeremiah ldquoMoreover the word of
the Lord came to me saying lsquoJeremiah what do you seersquo And I said lsquoI see a branch of an almond treersquo Then
the Lord said to me lsquoYou have seen well for I am watching to perform My wordrsquordquo (Jeremiah 111-12)
This prophecy uses a play on words that carries a vital truth for Israel as well as for us The Hebrew word for
almond shaked is also translated ldquoto watchrdquo By seeing the almond branch God assured Jeremiah that He is
watching over His word to bring it to pass no matter the passage of time

In context God had just given Israel a warning ldquoI have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms
to root out and to pull down to destroy and to throw down to build and to plantrdquo (Jeremiah 19-10) Then after
Jeremiah sees the almond tree God shows him a boiling pot over Jerusalem which portends ldquocalamityrdquo
(Jeremiah 113-14) While the almond is a sign of hope that God will eventually fulfill His wonderful promises to
Israel (or to us) the context is more ominous
Later God repeated the warning through Jeremiah ldquoBehold I will watch (shaked) over them for evil and not for
goodhelliprdquo (Jeremiah 4427) Godrsquos message to Israel was that sin has consequences and there will come a time of
reckoning ndash namely the destruction of Jerusalem and the captivity of Israel
Years later Daniel would pray ldquoTherefore has the Lord watched (shaked) upon the evil and brought it upon us
for the Lord our God is righteous in all His works which He does for we obeyed not His voicerdquo (Daniel 914)
The lesson of the almond tree therefore is that God in heaven watches a sinful nation walking away from Him
and declares it will have consequences His message to humanity today is still the same God is watching He will
watch over His word either for curse or for blessing When sin and immorality engulf nations and even penetrate
the Church we should remember God is watching When nations assail Israel and seek to divide her land we
can be sure God is watching
Still the message of the ldquoalmondrdquo does carry a strong encouragement Jeremiah also foresees a miraculous
restoration for Israel ldquoAnd it shall come to pass that as I have watched over them to destroy and to afflicthellip so
will I watch over them to build and to plant says the Lordrdquo (Jeremiah 3128)
If we decide to consecrate our lives to God then He promises to watch over us for good Even with our
weaknesses and frailties His eyes are always upon us
Blogpost Cindybythesea on the Blossoming of the Almond Tree worthwhile reading in full and note the correlation
with the Menorahlampstand
Excerpts
January 28 falls within the early part of the Jewish month of Shevat Shevat is the eleventh month of the
Jewish religious calendar and the fifth month of the Jewish civil calendar
Now this is interesting because the month of Shevat has everything to do with two words that any watchman
would recognize ndash watching and awakening For it is during the month of Shevat that the almond tree first
begins to blossom And the almond tree is the first tree in Israel to bloom or awaken while the other trees are
still dormant or sleeping In fact the Hebrew words for almond tree and watch are almost exactly the same word
Shoqed Hebrew word H8245 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoto awake watch wake be alertrdquo and to ldquokeep watch
of be awakeful overrdquo

Shaqed Hebrew word H8247 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoalmond tree almondsrdquo
So with that in mind consider once again the verse from Jeremiah 111-12 ndash
ldquoThe word of the LORD came to me What do you see Jeremiah I see the branch of a ldquoshaqedrdquo (almond tree)
I replied The LORD said to me You have seen correctly for I am ldquoshoqedrdquo (watching) to see that my word is
fulfilledrdquo
Therefore we can see that the almond tree and the concept of watching are inextricably tied together One
website puts it this wayldquoThe almond tree is the first tree to sprout and the last one to lose its leaves Its flowers
symbolize the cups that crown the seven branches of the Jewish candelabra (Ex 2533-36 3719-20) In the
biblical books the almond tree is mentioned several times (eg Gen 3037-39 4311 Qo121-5) The prophet
Jeremiah mentions it in a vision The word of Yahweh was addressed to me asking ldquoJeremiah what to you
seerdquo ldquoI see a branch of the watchful treerdquo I answered Then Yahweh said ldquoWell seen I too watch over My Word
to see it fulfilledrdquo (Jer 111-12) In this text there is a word game between the Hebrew words shaqed almond
tree and shoqed I watch Also the image of the almond tree the first tree to bloom reminds us of the watchful
eye of God that watches over His word to set it to practice God is the almond tree of Israelrdquo
http19862751www1ofmmagHolyLnA2html
Therefore the almond tree is very important for the seven branched Menorah which stood in the Holy place was
specifically designed by God to be fashioned liked one
From an article titled ldquoThe Golden Lampstandrdquo ndash
ldquoEach of the six branches and the center shaft ended in a cup made in the form of an open almond flower At the
very top the opened petals of the flower held an oil lamp The branches and the central shaft were skillfully
decorated with that same open-almond blossom design with three on each branch and four on the center shaftrdquo
httpwwwbible-historycomtabernacleTAB4The_Golden_Lampstandhtm
The question is why was the almond tree Godrsquos chosen design
And while I canrsquot be exactly sure of the answer it is interesting to note that the seven lampstands (churches) of
Revelation 12 are most likely of the same design And Jesus while walking among them is examining them for
their works for believers by virtue of the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit are Godrsquos one and only source of light in
the world today therefore he expects to see their lights shining brightly and continuously as did the Menorah in
the temple of old
Interesting when you compare to Song of Songs 611 where the bridegroom goes down among the nut trees
(most likely almond) to see if they are in bloom
ldquoI went down to the grove of nut trees to look at the new growth in the valley to see if the vines had budded or
the pomegranates were in bloomrdquo (Pomegranate is another early bloomer)

It is obvious to see therefore that the blossoming of the almond tree is important to the prophetic timing of
Godrsquos word and Godrsquos strength and power to bring it to pass Making it therefore one of the most important
symbols in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy
Consider also this verse from Ecclesiastes 125
rdquo hellip when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets when the almond tree blossoms (Shevat) and
the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred Then man goes to his eternal home and
mourners go about the streetsrdquo
And from Genesis 4311 ndash
11 Then their father Israel said to them ldquoIf it must be then do this Put some of the best products of the land in
your bags and take them down to the man as a giftmdasha little balm and a little honey some spices and myrrh
some pistachio nuts and almonds
Both important verses because the almonds were a gift to Joseph ( a type of Christ) while his brothers were still
in unbelief (in other words while they still did not recognize him) just as Israel will be at the time of our
departure And from Ecclesiastes ndash Men in fear at the same time the almond tree is in bloom some taken to
their eternal home some left to mourn

Aarons rod refers to any of the staves carried by Mosess brother Aaron in the Torah The Bible tells how alongwith Mosess rod Aarons rod was endowed with miraculous power during the Plagues of Egypt that preceded theExodus There are two occasions where the Bible tells of the rods power even when it was not being held by itsowner
In Numbers 17 Korahs rebellion against Moses proclamation of the tribe of Levi as the priesthood has beenquashed and the entire congregations ensuing rebellion has resulted in a plague ended only by the intercessionof Moses and Aaron In order to stop the complaints of the Israelites God commands that each of the TwelveTribes provide a rod and only that of the tribe chosen to become priests will miraculously sprout overnight Aaronprovides his rod to represent the tribe of Levi and it put forth buds produced blossoms and bore ripe almonds(Numbers 178) as an evidence of the exclusive right to the priesthood of the tribe of Levi In commemoration ofthis decision it was commanded that the rod be put again before the testimony (Numbers 1710) According totradition the rod of Aaron bore sweet almonds on one side and bitter on the other if the Israelites followed theLord the sweet almonds would be ripe and edible but if they were to forsake the path of the Lord the bitteralmonds would predominate A later book of the Bible seems to assert (Hebrews 94) that the rod was kept in theArk of the Covenant The main fact however is thus confirmed that a rod was preserved in the Tabernacle as arelic of the institution of the Aaronic priesthood
Type of instant transformation into maturity (like in the rapture)
Aarons rod not only leafed out the next day it also had flower buds flowers and even ripe almonds on the samestick (Numbers 178) The mans name written on the sticks showed that it was the original one but the growth in

The International Standard Bible encyclopedia says

Did you know that there are sweet almonds and bitter almonds Bitter almonds are toxic It becomes cyanide when crushedand mixed with other enzymes inside the almond
Gabriel Garcia Marquez once wrote poetically about the scent of bitter almonds and the fate ofunrequited love as a lead-in to murder by cyanide poisoning And in bitter almond oil as in atragic romance the sweet and the toxic are inextricably entangled
Benzaldehyde is made by the decomposition of amygdalin (named for Prunus amygdalus andin turn responsible for the bitterness that gives bitter almonds their common name) The otherdecomposition products are glucose (sweet) and hydrogen cyanide (toxic) The utility ofamygdalin to the plant is for defense specifically as a deterrent to grazers from eating thevaluable seed as well as the dispensable fruit Inside the cells of the almond kernel amygdalinis sequestered from the enzyme that breaks it down amygdalin hydrolase Crushing ashappens when the plant is grazed upon brings the enzyme and amygdalin together andcyanide is produced as a resultndashas much as 4-9mg per almond

Aarons rod famously budded almond leaves blossoms and fully ripe fruit The LORD did this to prove that Aaron was Hisdesignated spokesman with Moses
On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sproutedand put forth buds and produced blossoms and it bore ripe almonds (Numbers 178)
As with Aarons rod Jeremiah 111 use of the almond as a symbol Jeremiah 111-12
And the word of the Lord came to me saying ldquoJeremiah what do you seerdquo And I said ldquoI see an almond branchrdquo Then theLord said to me ldquoYou have seen well for I am watching over my word to perform itrdquo
Pulpit Commentary says of Verse 12 - I will hasten my word literally I am wakeful over my word alluding to the meaningof the Hebrew word for almond The LORD will hasten to perform His judgments of Jerusalem which He proclaimed in Hisword to Jeremiah
In Genesis 4311 one of the best gifts of the land that Josephs father Jacob urgedhis sons to bring to Egypt (unknowingly to Joseph) were almonds
In Plants of the Bible it says The almond Amygdalus communis is a mediumsized tree with narrow light green leaves Unlike the fig and olive the almond doesnot live to a great age The almond is a well-known symbol of resurrection becauseit is the first tree to flower The white five-parted flowers are up to two inchesacross and come in the late winter before the leaves of the tree develop Because they may flower as early as late January orearly February it is sometimes possible to find almond flowers with snow

On this most joyous of days you who wonder at our joy it is because we looked to Christ as our all in all forgiver of sinsLamb of God You also look to Christ - and be saved The almond tree blooms quick with promises The most wondrouspromise of all is the resurrection of the Son of God

Timing synchronicity of Almond Tree blossoming and planting of barley seeds
At the exact time the almond trees in Israel are starting to blossom on the day the
New Year of Trees is celebrated it is the time barley seeds are planted Barley is a
type of the easily winnowed bride The almond tree is a type of the Bride of Christ
Synching with this large parts of the earth are covered in white as well The dead in
Christ (under the earth) are covered in this typology too both the spiritually and their
remains physically
So if death is a planting of the seed and circumcission of the heart (opening of the
kernel) relates to salvation a wonderful picture of the dead in Christ and the bride
adorned in white and stripes of blood red (his blood covering us making our sins
white as snow) is forming of the rapture soon awaited
Proverbs 2513
Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him

Demophon married Phyllis daughter of a Thracian king (possibly of Sithon) while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan war On the next day after the
wedding however he had to leave promising to return and take Phyllis with him as
soon as possible She gave him a casket and told not to open it unless he should
lose every hope to return to Thrace Demophon eventually settled in Cyprus and
forgot about Phyllis She would come to the sea shore every day expecting to see
the sails of his ship but in vain After the appointed date was past she either died of
grief or hanged herself One day Demophon opened the casket out of curiosity what
he saw there was so horrifying that he jumped onto his horse and rode like wild till he
fell off the horse on his own sword and died[5][6][7] Others however say that he did
return but Phyllis was already dead by the time when he embraced the lifeless
almond tree into which she was said to have transformed after death it started to
blossom[8]Phylis married Demophon King of Athens and son of Theseus while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan War[4]

Demophon duty bound to Greece returns home to help his father leaving Phyllis
behind She sends him away with a casket telling him that it contained a sacrament
of Rhea and asking him to open it only if he has given up hope of returning to her
From here the story diverges In one version Phyllis realizes that he will not return
and commits suicide by hanging herself from a tree Where she is buried an almond
tree grows which blossoms when Demophon returns to her[1] In a second version of
the story Demophon opens the casket and horrified by what he saw in there rides
off in such great haste that his horse stumbles and he accidentally falls on his own
sword[5]

In context God had just given Israel a warning ldquoI have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms
to root out and to pull down to destroy and to throw down to build and to plantrdquo (Jeremiah 19-10) Then after
Jeremiah sees the almond tree God shows him a boiling pot over Jerusalem which portends ldquocalamityrdquo
(Jeremiah 113-14) While the almond is a sign of hope that God will eventually fulfill His wonderful promises to
Israel (or to us) the context is more ominous
Later God repeated the warning through Jeremiah ldquoBehold I will watch (shaked) over them for evil and not for
goodhelliprdquo (Jeremiah 4427) Godrsquos message to Israel was that sin has consequences and there will come a time of
reckoning ndash namely the destruction of Jerusalem and the captivity of Israel
Years later Daniel would pray ldquoTherefore has the Lord watched (shaked) upon the evil and brought it upon us
for the Lord our God is righteous in all His works which He does for we obeyed not His voicerdquo (Daniel 914)
The lesson of the almond tree therefore is that God in heaven watches a sinful nation walking away from Him
and declares it will have consequences His message to humanity today is still the same God is watching He will
watch over His word either for curse or for blessing When sin and immorality engulf nations and even penetrate
the Church we should remember God is watching When nations assail Israel and seek to divide her land we
can be sure God is watching
Still the message of the ldquoalmondrdquo does carry a strong encouragement Jeremiah also foresees a miraculous
restoration for Israel ldquoAnd it shall come to pass that as I have watched over them to destroy and to afflicthellip so
will I watch over them to build and to plant says the Lordrdquo (Jeremiah 3128)
If we decide to consecrate our lives to God then He promises to watch over us for good Even with our
weaknesses and frailties His eyes are always upon us
Blogpost Cindybythesea on the Blossoming of the Almond Tree worthwhile reading in full and note the correlation
with the Menorahlampstand
Excerpts
January 28 falls within the early part of the Jewish month of Shevat Shevat is the eleventh month of the
Jewish religious calendar and the fifth month of the Jewish civil calendar
Now this is interesting because the month of Shevat has everything to do with two words that any watchman
would recognize ndash watching and awakening For it is during the month of Shevat that the almond tree first
begins to blossom And the almond tree is the first tree in Israel to bloom or awaken while the other trees are
still dormant or sleeping In fact the Hebrew words for almond tree and watch are almost exactly the same word
Shoqed Hebrew word H8245 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoto awake watch wake be alertrdquo and to ldquokeep watch
of be awakeful overrdquo

Shaqed Hebrew word H8247 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoalmond tree almondsrdquo
So with that in mind consider once again the verse from Jeremiah 111-12 ndash
ldquoThe word of the LORD came to me What do you see Jeremiah I see the branch of a ldquoshaqedrdquo (almond tree)
I replied The LORD said to me You have seen correctly for I am ldquoshoqedrdquo (watching) to see that my word is
fulfilledrdquo
Therefore we can see that the almond tree and the concept of watching are inextricably tied together One
website puts it this wayldquoThe almond tree is the first tree to sprout and the last one to lose its leaves Its flowers
symbolize the cups that crown the seven branches of the Jewish candelabra (Ex 2533-36 3719-20) In the
biblical books the almond tree is mentioned several times (eg Gen 3037-39 4311 Qo121-5) The prophet
Jeremiah mentions it in a vision The word of Yahweh was addressed to me asking ldquoJeremiah what to you
seerdquo ldquoI see a branch of the watchful treerdquo I answered Then Yahweh said ldquoWell seen I too watch over My Word
to see it fulfilledrdquo (Jer 111-12) In this text there is a word game between the Hebrew words shaqed almond
tree and shoqed I watch Also the image of the almond tree the first tree to bloom reminds us of the watchful
eye of God that watches over His word to set it to practice God is the almond tree of Israelrdquo
http19862751www1ofmmagHolyLnA2html
Therefore the almond tree is very important for the seven branched Menorah which stood in the Holy place was
specifically designed by God to be fashioned liked one
From an article titled ldquoThe Golden Lampstandrdquo ndash
ldquoEach of the six branches and the center shaft ended in a cup made in the form of an open almond flower At the
very top the opened petals of the flower held an oil lamp The branches and the central shaft were skillfully
decorated with that same open-almond blossom design with three on each branch and four on the center shaftrdquo
httpwwwbible-historycomtabernacleTAB4The_Golden_Lampstandhtm
The question is why was the almond tree Godrsquos chosen design
And while I canrsquot be exactly sure of the answer it is interesting to note that the seven lampstands (churches) of
Revelation 12 are most likely of the same design And Jesus while walking among them is examining them for
their works for believers by virtue of the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit are Godrsquos one and only source of light in
the world today therefore he expects to see their lights shining brightly and continuously as did the Menorah in
the temple of old
Interesting when you compare to Song of Songs 611 where the bridegroom goes down among the nut trees
(most likely almond) to see if they are in bloom
ldquoI went down to the grove of nut trees to look at the new growth in the valley to see if the vines had budded or
the pomegranates were in bloomrdquo (Pomegranate is another early bloomer)

It is obvious to see therefore that the blossoming of the almond tree is important to the prophetic timing of
Godrsquos word and Godrsquos strength and power to bring it to pass Making it therefore one of the most important
symbols in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy
Consider also this verse from Ecclesiastes 125
rdquo hellip when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets when the almond tree blossoms (Shevat) and
the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred Then man goes to his eternal home and
mourners go about the streetsrdquo
And from Genesis 4311 ndash
11 Then their father Israel said to them ldquoIf it must be then do this Put some of the best products of the land in
your bags and take them down to the man as a giftmdasha little balm and a little honey some spices and myrrh
some pistachio nuts and almonds
Both important verses because the almonds were a gift to Joseph ( a type of Christ) while his brothers were still
in unbelief (in other words while they still did not recognize him) just as Israel will be at the time of our
departure And from Ecclesiastes ndash Men in fear at the same time the almond tree is in bloom some taken to
their eternal home some left to mourn

Aarons rod refers to any of the staves carried by Mosess brother Aaron in the Torah The Bible tells how alongwith Mosess rod Aarons rod was endowed with miraculous power during the Plagues of Egypt that preceded theExodus There are two occasions where the Bible tells of the rods power even when it was not being held by itsowner
In Numbers 17 Korahs rebellion against Moses proclamation of the tribe of Levi as the priesthood has beenquashed and the entire congregations ensuing rebellion has resulted in a plague ended only by the intercessionof Moses and Aaron In order to stop the complaints of the Israelites God commands that each of the TwelveTribes provide a rod and only that of the tribe chosen to become priests will miraculously sprout overnight Aaronprovides his rod to represent the tribe of Levi and it put forth buds produced blossoms and bore ripe almonds(Numbers 178) as an evidence of the exclusive right to the priesthood of the tribe of Levi In commemoration ofthis decision it was commanded that the rod be put again before the testimony (Numbers 1710) According totradition the rod of Aaron bore sweet almonds on one side and bitter on the other if the Israelites followed theLord the sweet almonds would be ripe and edible but if they were to forsake the path of the Lord the bitteralmonds would predominate A later book of the Bible seems to assert (Hebrews 94) that the rod was kept in theArk of the Covenant The main fact however is thus confirmed that a rod was preserved in the Tabernacle as arelic of the institution of the Aaronic priesthood
Type of instant transformation into maturity (like in the rapture)
Aarons rod not only leafed out the next day it also had flower buds flowers and even ripe almonds on the samestick (Numbers 178) The mans name written on the sticks showed that it was the original one but the growth in

The International Standard Bible encyclopedia says
The masses of almond trees in full bloom in some parts of Palestine make a very beautiful andstriking sight The bloom of some varieties is almost pure white from a little distance in otherparts the delicate pink always present at the inner part of the petals is diffused enough to givea pink blush to the whole blossom
Did you know that there are sweet almonds and bitter almonds Bitter almonds are toxic It becomes cyanide when crushedand mixed with other enzymes inside the almond
Gabriel Garcia Marquez once wrote poetically about the scent of bitter almonds and the fate ofunrequited love as a lead-in to murder by cyanide poisoning And in bitter almond oil as in atragic romance the sweet and the toxic are inextricably entangled
Benzaldehyde is made by the decomposition of amygdalin (named for Prunus amygdalus andin turn responsible for the bitterness that gives bitter almonds their common name) The otherdecomposition products are glucose (sweet) and hydrogen cyanide (toxic) The utility ofamygdalin to the plant is for defense specifically as a deterrent to grazers from eating thevaluable seed as well as the dispensable fruit Inside the cells of the almond kernel amygdalinis sequestered from the enzyme that breaks it down amygdalin hydrolase Crushing ashappens when the plant is grazed upon brings the enzyme and amygdalin together andcyanide is produced as a resultndashas much as 4-9mg per almond

Aarons rod famously budded almond leaves blossoms and fully ripe fruit The LORD did this to prove that Aaron was Hisdesignated spokesman with Moses
On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sproutedand put forth buds and produced blossoms and it bore ripe almonds (Numbers 178)
As with Aarons rod Jeremiah 111 use of the almond as a symbol Jeremiah 111-12
And the word of the Lord came to me saying ldquoJeremiah what do you seerdquo And I said ldquoI see an almond branchrdquo Then theLord said to me ldquoYou have seen well for I am watching over my word to perform itrdquo
Pulpit Commentary says of Verse 12 - I will hasten my word literally I am wakeful over my word alluding to the meaningof the Hebrew word for almond The LORD will hasten to perform His judgments of Jerusalem which He proclaimed in Hisword to Jeremiah
In Genesis 4311 one of the best gifts of the land that Josephs father Jacob urgedhis sons to bring to Egypt (unknowingly to Joseph) were almonds
In Plants of the Bible it says The almond Amygdalus communis is a mediumsized tree with narrow light green leaves Unlike the fig and olive the almond doesnot live to a great age The almond is a well-known symbol of resurrection becauseit is the first tree to flower The white five-parted flowers are up to two inchesacross and come in the late winter before the leaves of the tree develop Because they may flower as early as late January orearly February it is sometimes possible to find almond flowers with snow

Demophon married Phyllis daughter of a Thracian king (possibly of Sithon) while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan war On the next day after the
wedding however he had to leave promising to return and take Phyllis with him as
soon as possible She gave him a casket and told not to open it unless he should
lose every hope to return to Thrace Demophon eventually settled in Cyprus and
forgot about Phyllis She would come to the sea shore every day expecting to see
the sails of his ship but in vain After the appointed date was past she either died of
grief or hanged herself One day Demophon opened the casket out of curiosity what
he saw there was so horrifying that he jumped onto his horse and rode like wild till he
fell off the horse on his own sword and died[5][6][7] Others however say that he did
return but Phyllis was already dead by the time when he embraced the lifeless
almond tree into which she was said to have transformed after death it started to
blossom[8]Phylis married Demophon King of Athens and son of Theseus while he

Shaqed Hebrew word H8247 Strongs Concordance ndash ldquoalmond tree almondsrdquo
So with that in mind consider once again the verse from Jeremiah 111-12 ndash
ldquoThe word of the LORD came to me What do you see Jeremiah I see the branch of a ldquoshaqedrdquo (almond tree)
I replied The LORD said to me You have seen correctly for I am ldquoshoqedrdquo (watching) to see that my word is
fulfilledrdquo
Therefore we can see that the almond tree and the concept of watching are inextricably tied together One
website puts it this wayldquoThe almond tree is the first tree to sprout and the last one to lose its leaves Its flowers
symbolize the cups that crown the seven branches of the Jewish candelabra (Ex 2533-36 3719-20) In the
biblical books the almond tree is mentioned several times (eg Gen 3037-39 4311 Qo121-5) The prophet
Jeremiah mentions it in a vision The word of Yahweh was addressed to me asking ldquoJeremiah what to you
seerdquo ldquoI see a branch of the watchful treerdquo I answered Then Yahweh said ldquoWell seen I too watch over My Word
to see it fulfilledrdquo (Jer 111-12) In this text there is a word game between the Hebrew words shaqed almond
tree and shoqed I watch Also the image of the almond tree the first tree to bloom reminds us of the watchful
eye of God that watches over His word to set it to practice God is the almond tree of Israelrdquo
http19862751www1ofmmagHolyLnA2html
Therefore the almond tree is very important for the seven branched Menorah which stood in the Holy place was
specifically designed by God to be fashioned liked one
From an article titled ldquoThe Golden Lampstandrdquo ndash
ldquoEach of the six branches and the center shaft ended in a cup made in the form of an open almond flower At the
very top the opened petals of the flower held an oil lamp The branches and the central shaft were skillfully
decorated with that same open-almond blossom design with three on each branch and four on the center shaftrdquo
httpwwwbible-historycomtabernacleTAB4The_Golden_Lampstandhtm
The question is why was the almond tree Godrsquos chosen design
And while I canrsquot be exactly sure of the answer it is interesting to note that the seven lampstands (churches) of
Revelation 12 are most likely of the same design And Jesus while walking among them is examining them for
their works for believers by virtue of the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit are Godrsquos one and only source of light in
the world today therefore he expects to see their lights shining brightly and continuously as did the Menorah in
the temple of old
Interesting when you compare to Song of Songs 611 where the bridegroom goes down among the nut trees
(most likely almond) to see if they are in bloom
ldquoI went down to the grove of nut trees to look at the new growth in the valley to see if the vines had budded or
the pomegranates were in bloomrdquo (Pomegranate is another early bloomer)

It is obvious to see therefore that the blossoming of the almond tree is important to the prophetic timing of
Godrsquos word and Godrsquos strength and power to bring it to pass Making it therefore one of the most important
symbols in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy
Consider also this verse from Ecclesiastes 125
rdquo hellip when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets when the almond tree blossoms (Shevat) and
the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred Then man goes to his eternal home and
mourners go about the streetsrdquo
And from Genesis 4311 ndash
11 Then their father Israel said to them ldquoIf it must be then do this Put some of the best products of the land in
your bags and take them down to the man as a giftmdasha little balm and a little honey some spices and myrrh
some pistachio nuts and almonds
Both important verses because the almonds were a gift to Joseph ( a type of Christ) while his brothers were still
in unbelief (in other words while they still did not recognize him) just as Israel will be at the time of our
departure And from Ecclesiastes ndash Men in fear at the same time the almond tree is in bloom some taken to
their eternal home some left to mourn

Aarons rod refers to any of the staves carried by Mosess brother Aaron in the Torah The Bible tells how alongwith Mosess rod Aarons rod was endowed with miraculous power during the Plagues of Egypt that preceded theExodus There are two occasions where the Bible tells of the rods power even when it was not being held by itsowner
In Numbers 17 Korahs rebellion against Moses proclamation of the tribe of Levi as the priesthood has beenquashed and the entire congregations ensuing rebellion has resulted in a plague ended only by the intercessionof Moses and Aaron In order to stop the complaints of the Israelites God commands that each of the TwelveTribes provide a rod and only that of the tribe chosen to become priests will miraculously sprout overnight Aaronprovides his rod to represent the tribe of Levi and it put forth buds produced blossoms and bore ripe almonds(Numbers 178) as an evidence of the exclusive right to the priesthood of the tribe of Levi In commemoration ofthis decision it was commanded that the rod be put again before the testimony (Numbers 1710) According totradition the rod of Aaron bore sweet almonds on one side and bitter on the other if the Israelites followed theLord the sweet almonds would be ripe and edible but if they were to forsake the path of the Lord the bitteralmonds would predominate A later book of the Bible seems to assert (Hebrews 94) that the rod was kept in theArk of the Covenant The main fact however is thus confirmed that a rod was preserved in the Tabernacle as arelic of the institution of the Aaronic priesthood
Type of instant transformation into maturity (like in the rapture)
Aarons rod not only leafed out the next day it also had flower buds flowers and even ripe almonds on the samestick (Numbers 178) The mans name written on the sticks showed that it was the original one but the growth in

Calyx is the collective name for sepals of a flower Eastons Bible Dictionary explains
A native of Syria and Palestine In form blossoms and fruit it resembles the peach tree Itsblossoms are of a very pale pink colour and appear before its leaves Its Hebrew nameshaked signifying wakeful hastening is given to it on account of its putting forth its blossomsso early generally in February and sometimes even in January
The International Standard Bible encyclopedia says
The masses of almond trees in full bloom in some parts of Palestine make a very beautiful andstriking sight The bloom of some varieties is almost pure white from a little distance in otherparts the delicate pink always present at the inner part of the petals is diffused enough to givea pink blush to the whole blossom
Did you know that there are sweet almonds and bitter almonds Bitter almonds are toxic It becomes cyanide when crushedand mixed with other enzymes inside the almond
Gabriel Garcia Marquez once wrote poetically about the scent of bitter almonds and the fate ofunrequited love as a lead-in to murder by cyanide poisoning And in bitter almond oil as in atragic romance the sweet and the toxic are inextricably entangled
Benzaldehyde is made by the decomposition of amygdalin (named for Prunus amygdalus andin turn responsible for the bitterness that gives bitter almonds their common name) The otherdecomposition products are glucose (sweet) and hydrogen cyanide (toxic) The utility ofamygdalin to the plant is for defense specifically as a deterrent to grazers from eating thevaluable seed as well as the dispensable fruit Inside the cells of the almond kernel amygdalinis sequestered from the enzyme that breaks it down amygdalin hydrolase Crushing ashappens when the plant is grazed upon brings the enzyme and amygdalin together andcyanide is produced as a resultndashas much as 4-9mg per almond

Aarons rod famously budded almond leaves blossoms and fully ripe fruit The LORD did this to prove that Aaron was Hisdesignated spokesman with Moses
On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sproutedand put forth buds and produced blossoms and it bore ripe almonds (Numbers 178)
As with Aarons rod Jeremiah 111 use of the almond as a symbol Jeremiah 111-12
And the word of the Lord came to me saying ldquoJeremiah what do you seerdquo And I said ldquoI see an almond branchrdquo Then theLord said to me ldquoYou have seen well for I am watching over my word to perform itrdquo
Pulpit Commentary says of Verse 12 - I will hasten my word literally I am wakeful over my word alluding to the meaningof the Hebrew word for almond The LORD will hasten to perform His judgments of Jerusalem which He proclaimed in Hisword to Jeremiah
In Genesis 4311 one of the best gifts of the land that Josephs father Jacob urgedhis sons to bring to Egypt (unknowingly to Joseph) were almonds
In Plants of the Bible it says The almond Amygdalus communis is a mediumsized tree with narrow light green leaves Unlike the fig and olive the almond doesnot live to a great age The almond is a well-known symbol of resurrection becauseit is the first tree to flower The white five-parted flowers are up to two inchesacross and come in the late winter before the leaves of the tree develop Because they may flower as early as late January orearly February it is sometimes possible to find almond flowers with snow
Charles Spurgeon preached on the lessons of the Almond Tree He says here
While I have felt compelled to speak of these solemn Truths I am glad to turn to the other partof the subject which is thismdashthat God is quick in performing His promises They are like thealmond treemdashthey blossom and bear fruit very quickly ldquoWhat sort of promisesrdquo you ask ldquoarethus speedily fulfilledrdquo Well first the promise to give salvation to all these who believe in theLo rd Jesus Christ Listenmdash ldquoThe moment a sinner believes And trusts in his crucified God Hispardon at once he receives Redemption in full throrsquo His bloodrdquo I see ldquoa branch of an almondtreerdquo here The Psalmist says ldquoHis word runs very swiftlyrdquo and I am a witness that it doesMany years ago I a poor sinner went into a place of worship to hear the Gospel preachedThe preacher repeated the Lordrsquos command ldquoLook unto Me and be you savedrdquo I looked toChrist and I was saved that very instant It takes no longer to tell the story than it did to work themiracle of mercy Swift as a lightning flash I looked to Christ and the great deed was done Iwas a pardoned and justified soulmdashin a word I was saved Why should not the same thinghappen to you who are here It will happen to everyone who shall now be led to believe inJesus Christ
On this most joyous of days you who wonder at our joy it is because we looked to Christ as our all in all forgiver of sinsLamb of God You also look to Christ - and be saved The almond tree blooms quick with promises The most wondrouspromise of all is the resurrection of the Son of God
Aarons rod budded sprouted and offered fully formed fruit all at the same time According tothe law of nature all living things have a beginning and an end However this was not the casewith Aaronrsquos rod for God gave it a new lease of life This miracle hinted at the resurrection ofJesus Christ Even though death came to the world because of the actions of the first manAdam resurrection would come about on account of Jesus Christ (1 Cor 1517ndash22) Hence

Timing synchronicity of Almond Tree blossoming and planting of barley seeds
At the exact time the almond trees in Israel are starting to blossom on the day the
New Year of Trees is celebrated it is the time barley seeds are planted Barley is a
type of the easily winnowed bride The almond tree is a type of the Bride of Christ
Synching with this large parts of the earth are covered in white as well The dead in
Christ (under the earth) are covered in this typology too both the spiritually and their
remains physically
So if death is a planting of the seed and circumcission of the heart (opening of the
kernel) relates to salvation a wonderful picture of the dead in Christ and the bride
adorned in white and stripes of blood red (his blood covering us making our sins
white as snow) is forming of the rapture soon awaited

It is obvious to see therefore that the blossoming of the almond tree is important to the prophetic timing of
Godrsquos word and Godrsquos strength and power to bring it to pass Making it therefore one of the most important
symbols in the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy
Consider also this verse from Ecclesiastes 125
rdquo hellip when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets when the almond tree blossoms (Shevat) and
the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred Then man goes to his eternal home and
mourners go about the streetsrdquo

Both important verses because the almonds were a gift to Joseph ( a type of Christ) while his brothers were still
in unbelief (in other words while they still did not recognize him) just as Israel will be at the time of our
departure And from Ecclesiastes ndash Men in fear at the same time the almond tree is in bloom some taken to
their eternal home some left to mourn

In Numbers 17 Korahs rebellion against Moses proclamation of the tribe of Levi as the priesthood has beenquashed and the entire congregations ensuing rebellion has resulted in a plague ended only by the intercessionof Moses and Aaron In order to stop the complaints of the Israelites God commands that each of the TwelveTribes provide a rod and only that of the tribe chosen to become priests will miraculously sprout overnight Aaronprovides his rod to represent the tribe of Levi and it put forth buds produced blossoms and bore ripe almonds(Numbers 178) as an evidence of the exclusive right to the priesthood of the tribe of Levi In commemoration ofthis decision it was commanded that the rod be put again before the testimony (Numbers 1710) According totradition the rod of Aaron bore sweet almonds on one side and bitter on the other if the Israelites followed theLord the sweet almonds would be ripe and edible but if they were to forsake the path of the Lord the bitteralmonds would predominate A later book of the Bible seems to assert (Hebrews 94) that the rod was kept in theArk of the Covenant The main fact however is thus confirmed that a rod was preserved in the Tabernacle as arelic of the institution of the Aaronic priesthood
Type of instant transformation into maturity (like in the rapture)
Aarons rod not only leafed out the next day it also had flower buds flowers and even ripe almonds on the samestick (Numbers 178) The mans name written on the sticks showed that it was the original one but the growth in

Calyx is the collective name for sepals of a flower Eastons Bible Dictionary explains
A native of Syria and Palestine In form blossoms and fruit it resembles the peach tree Itsblossoms are of a very pale pink colour and appear before its leaves Its Hebrew nameshaked signifying wakeful hastening is given to it on account of its putting forth its blossomsso early generally in February and sometimes even in January
The International Standard Bible encyclopedia says
The masses of almond trees in full bloom in some parts of Palestine make a very beautiful andstriking sight The bloom of some varieties is almost pure white from a little distance in otherparts the delicate pink always present at the inner part of the petals is diffused enough to givea pink blush to the whole blossom
Did you know that there are sweet almonds and bitter almonds Bitter almonds are toxic It becomes cyanide when crushedand mixed with other enzymes inside the almond
Gabriel Garcia Marquez once wrote poetically about the scent of bitter almonds and the fate ofunrequited love as a lead-in to murder by cyanide poisoning And in bitter almond oil as in atragic romance the sweet and the toxic are inextricably entangled
Benzaldehyde is made by the decomposition of amygdalin (named for Prunus amygdalus andin turn responsible for the bitterness that gives bitter almonds their common name) The otherdecomposition products are glucose (sweet) and hydrogen cyanide (toxic) The utility ofamygdalin to the plant is for defense specifically as a deterrent to grazers from eating thevaluable seed as well as the dispensable fruit Inside the cells of the almond kernel amygdalinis sequestered from the enzyme that breaks it down amygdalin hydrolase Crushing ashappens when the plant is grazed upon brings the enzyme and amygdalin together andcyanide is produced as a resultndashas much as 4-9mg per almond

Aarons rod famously budded almond leaves blossoms and fully ripe fruit The LORD did this to prove that Aaron was Hisdesignated spokesman with Moses
On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sproutedand put forth buds and produced blossoms and it bore ripe almonds (Numbers 178)
As with Aarons rod Jeremiah 111 use of the almond as a symbol Jeremiah 111-12
And the word of the Lord came to me saying ldquoJeremiah what do you seerdquo And I said ldquoI see an almond branchrdquo Then theLord said to me ldquoYou have seen well for I am watching over my word to perform itrdquo
Pulpit Commentary says of Verse 12 - I will hasten my word literally I am wakeful over my word alluding to the meaningof the Hebrew word for almond The LORD will hasten to perform His judgments of Jerusalem which He proclaimed in Hisword to Jeremiah
In Genesis 4311 one of the best gifts of the land that Josephs father Jacob urgedhis sons to bring to Egypt (unknowingly to Joseph) were almonds
In Plants of the Bible it says The almond Amygdalus communis is a mediumsized tree with narrow light green leaves Unlike the fig and olive the almond doesnot live to a great age The almond is a well-known symbol of resurrection becauseit is the first tree to flower The white five-parted flowers are up to two inchesacross and come in the late winter before the leaves of the tree develop Because they may flower as early as late January orearly February it is sometimes possible to find almond flowers with snow
Charles Spurgeon preached on the lessons of the Almond Tree He says here
While I have felt compelled to speak of these solemn Truths I am glad to turn to the other partof the subject which is thismdashthat God is quick in performing His promises They are like thealmond treemdashthey blossom and bear fruit very quickly ldquoWhat sort of promisesrdquo you ask ldquoarethus speedily fulfilledrdquo Well first the promise to give salvation to all these who believe in theLo rd Jesus Christ Listenmdash ldquoThe moment a sinner believes And trusts in his crucified God Hispardon at once he receives Redemption in full throrsquo His bloodrdquo I see ldquoa branch of an almondtreerdquo here The Psalmist says ldquoHis word runs very swiftlyrdquo and I am a witness that it doesMany years ago I a poor sinner went into a place of worship to hear the Gospel preachedThe preacher repeated the Lordrsquos command ldquoLook unto Me and be you savedrdquo I looked toChrist and I was saved that very instant It takes no longer to tell the story than it did to work themiracle of mercy Swift as a lightning flash I looked to Christ and the great deed was done Iwas a pardoned and justified soulmdashin a word I was saved Why should not the same thinghappen to you who are here It will happen to everyone who shall now be led to believe inJesus Christ
On this most joyous of days you who wonder at our joy it is because we looked to Christ as our all in all forgiver of sinsLamb of God You also look to Christ - and be saved The almond tree blooms quick with promises The most wondrouspromise of all is the resurrection of the Son of God

Timing synchronicity of Almond Tree blossoming and planting of barley seeds
At the exact time the almond trees in Israel are starting to blossom on the day the
New Year of Trees is celebrated it is the time barley seeds are planted Barley is a
type of the easily winnowed bride The almond tree is a type of the Bride of Christ
Synching with this large parts of the earth are covered in white as well The dead in
Christ (under the earth) are covered in this typology too both the spiritually and their
remains physically
So if death is a planting of the seed and circumcission of the heart (opening of the
kernel) relates to salvation a wonderful picture of the dead in Christ and the bride
adorned in white and stripes of blood red (his blood covering us making our sins
white as snow) is forming of the rapture soon awaited
Proverbs 2513
Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him

Demophon married Phyllis daughter of a Thracian king (possibly of Sithon) while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan war On the next day after the
wedding however he had to leave promising to return and take Phyllis with him as
soon as possible She gave him a casket and told not to open it unless he should
lose every hope to return to Thrace Demophon eventually settled in Cyprus and
forgot about Phyllis She would come to the sea shore every day expecting to see
the sails of his ship but in vain After the appointed date was past she either died of
grief or hanged herself One day Demophon opened the casket out of curiosity what
he saw there was so horrifying that he jumped onto his horse and rode like wild till he
fell off the horse on his own sword and died[5][6][7] Others however say that he did
return but Phyllis was already dead by the time when he embraced the lifeless
almond tree into which she was said to have transformed after death it started to
blossom[8]Phylis married Demophon King of Athens and son of Theseus while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan War[4]

Demophon duty bound to Greece returns home to help his father leaving Phyllis
behind She sends him away with a casket telling him that it contained a sacrament
of Rhea and asking him to open it only if he has given up hope of returning to her
From here the story diverges In one version Phyllis realizes that he will not return
and commits suicide by hanging herself from a tree Where she is buried an almond
tree grows which blossoms when Demophon returns to her[1] In a second version of
the story Demophon opens the casket and horrified by what he saw in there rides
off in such great haste that his horse stumbles and he accidentally falls on his own
sword[5]
In English this version goes back at least to Gower who writes in Confessio
Amantis (ca 1390)

Calyx is the collective name for sepals of a flower Eastons Bible Dictionary explains
A native of Syria and Palestine In form blossoms and fruit it resembles the peach tree Itsblossoms are of a very pale pink colour and appear before its leaves Its Hebrew nameshaked signifying wakeful hastening is given to it on account of its putting forth its blossomsso early generally in February and sometimes even in January
The International Standard Bible encyclopedia says
The masses of almond trees in full bloom in some parts of Palestine make a very beautiful andstriking sight The bloom of some varieties is almost pure white from a little distance in otherparts the delicate pink always present at the inner part of the petals is diffused enough to givea pink blush to the whole blossom
Did you know that there are sweet almonds and bitter almonds Bitter almonds are toxic It becomes cyanide when crushedand mixed with other enzymes inside the almond
Gabriel Garcia Marquez once wrote poetically about the scent of bitter almonds and the fate ofunrequited love as a lead-in to murder by cyanide poisoning And in bitter almond oil as in atragic romance the sweet and the toxic are inextricably entangled
Benzaldehyde is made by the decomposition of amygdalin (named for Prunus amygdalus andin turn responsible for the bitterness that gives bitter almonds their common name) The otherdecomposition products are glucose (sweet) and hydrogen cyanide (toxic) The utility ofamygdalin to the plant is for defense specifically as a deterrent to grazers from eating thevaluable seed as well as the dispensable fruit Inside the cells of the almond kernel amygdalinis sequestered from the enzyme that breaks it down amygdalin hydrolase Crushing ashappens when the plant is grazed upon brings the enzyme and amygdalin together andcyanide is produced as a resultndashas much as 4-9mg per almond

Aarons rod famously budded almond leaves blossoms and fully ripe fruit The LORD did this to prove that Aaron was Hisdesignated spokesman with Moses
On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sproutedand put forth buds and produced blossoms and it bore ripe almonds (Numbers 178)
As with Aarons rod Jeremiah 111 use of the almond as a symbol Jeremiah 111-12
And the word of the Lord came to me saying ldquoJeremiah what do you seerdquo And I said ldquoI see an almond branchrdquo Then theLord said to me ldquoYou have seen well for I am watching over my word to perform itrdquo
Pulpit Commentary says of Verse 12 - I will hasten my word literally I am wakeful over my word alluding to the meaningof the Hebrew word for almond The LORD will hasten to perform His judgments of Jerusalem which He proclaimed in Hisword to Jeremiah
In Genesis 4311 one of the best gifts of the land that Josephs father Jacob urgedhis sons to bring to Egypt (unknowingly to Joseph) were almonds
In Plants of the Bible it says The almond Amygdalus communis is a mediumsized tree with narrow light green leaves Unlike the fig and olive the almond doesnot live to a great age The almond is a well-known symbol of resurrection becauseit is the first tree to flower The white five-parted flowers are up to two inchesacross and come in the late winter before the leaves of the tree develop Because they may flower as early as late January orearly February it is sometimes possible to find almond flowers with snow
Charles Spurgeon preached on the lessons of the Almond Tree He says here
While I have felt compelled to speak of these solemn Truths I am glad to turn to the other partof the subject which is thismdashthat God is quick in performing His promises They are like thealmond treemdashthey blossom and bear fruit very quickly ldquoWhat sort of promisesrdquo you ask ldquoarethus speedily fulfilledrdquo Well first the promise to give salvation to all these who believe in theLo rd Jesus Christ Listenmdash ldquoThe moment a sinner believes And trusts in his crucified God Hispardon at once he receives Redemption in full throrsquo His bloodrdquo I see ldquoa branch of an almondtreerdquo here The Psalmist says ldquoHis word runs very swiftlyrdquo and I am a witness that it doesMany years ago I a poor sinner went into a place of worship to hear the Gospel preachedThe preacher repeated the Lordrsquos command ldquoLook unto Me and be you savedrdquo I looked toChrist and I was saved that very instant It takes no longer to tell the story than it did to work themiracle of mercy Swift as a lightning flash I looked to Christ and the great deed was done Iwas a pardoned and justified soulmdashin a word I was saved Why should not the same thinghappen to you who are here It will happen to everyone who shall now be led to believe inJesus Christ

Timing synchronicity of Almond Tree blossoming and planting of barley seeds
At the exact time the almond trees in Israel are starting to blossom on the day the
New Year of Trees is celebrated it is the time barley seeds are planted Barley is a
type of the easily winnowed bride The almond tree is a type of the Bride of Christ
Synching with this large parts of the earth are covered in white as well The dead in
Christ (under the earth) are covered in this typology too both the spiritually and their
remains physically
So if death is a planting of the seed and circumcission of the heart (opening of the
kernel) relates to salvation a wonderful picture of the dead in Christ and the bride
adorned in white and stripes of blood red (his blood covering us making our sins
white as snow) is forming of the rapture soon awaited
Proverbs 2513
Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him

Timing synchronicity of Almond Tree blossoming and planting of barley seeds
At the exact time the almond trees in Israel are starting to blossom on the day the
New Year of Trees is celebrated it is the time barley seeds are planted Barley is a
type of the easily winnowed bride The almond tree is a type of the Bride of Christ
Synching with this large parts of the earth are covered in white as well The dead in
Christ (under the earth) are covered in this typology too both the spiritually and their
remains physically
So if death is a planting of the seed and circumcission of the heart (opening of the
kernel) relates to salvation a wonderful picture of the dead in Christ and the bride
adorned in white and stripes of blood red (his blood covering us making our sins
white as snow) is forming of the rapture soon awaited
Proverbs 2513
Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest

Demophon married Phyllis daughter of a Thracian king (possibly of Sithon) while he
stopped in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan war On the next day after the
wedding however he had to leave promising to return and take Phyllis with him as
soon as possible She gave him a casket and told not to open it unless he should
lose every hope to return to Thrace Demophon eventually settled in Cyprus and
forgot about Phyllis She would come to the sea shore every day expecting to see
the sails of his ship but in vain After the appointed date was past she either died of
grief or hanged herself One day Demophon opened the casket out of curiosity what
he saw there was so horrifying that he jumped onto his horse and rode like wild till he
fell off the horse on his own sword and died[5][6][7] Others however say that he did
return but Phyllis was already dead by the time when he embraced the lifeless
almond tree into which she was said to have transformed after death it started to
blossom[8]Phylis married Demophon King of Athens and son of Theseus while he

Demophon duty bound to Greece returns home to help his father leaving Phyllis
behind She sends him away with a casket telling him that it contained a sacrament
of Rhea and asking him to open it only if he has given up hope of returning to her
From here the story diverges In one version Phyllis realizes that he will not return
and commits suicide by hanging herself from a tree Where she is buried an almond
tree grows which blossoms when Demophon returns to her[1] In a second version of
the story Demophon opens the casket and horrified by what he saw in there rides
off in such great haste that his horse stumbles and he accidentally falls on his own
sword[5]
