The Place of the Grape Cluster

The Place of the Grape Cluster

The vine bears three kinds of grapes: the first of a pleasing song, the second of intoxicating melodies, the third of regurgitate sound.
 

A Grape Cluster can be a menace. The Grape Cluster can compromise the Grape Trellis and fence. Is their a breach in the fence in the Music neighborhood? Is their a compromised security in our Music neighborhood? Compromised by menacing vocals, word groups, and sonic burst of sounds. Has the weight of the cluster of grapes has breached the lines of defense. The Wild grapevines are often considered a nuisance weed, as they cover other plants with their usually rather aggressive growth.

 

John 15:5 (King James Version) 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 5-8"I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you're joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can't produce a thing.

Perhaps, the grapes of wrath has bended the knee of the vine. Ponder, the shade of the weeping willow now has a menacing (pawl) shadow. The fruit of the grape cluster yields a scarlet curdled bloody milk. The rancid vinegar of the vine has putrefied the grape batch.  Across the cave grew a straggling vine, heavy with clusters of grapes...To make it more secure, he wove out of osier rods (wickerwork) a fence that went from stem to stern as a bulwark against the waves, and he strengthened the bulwark with wood placed behind.

Micah 7

 1Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.

The prophet, in the name of the church, sadly laments the woeful decay of religion in the age wherein he lived, and the deluge of impiety and immorality which overwhelmed the nation, which levelled the differences, and bore down the fences, of all that is just and sacred Matthew Henry Complete Commentary on the Whole Bible

The weight of the cluster of grapes has broken the hedge in the Music Neighborhood. A confluence of sounds has broken down the fences in the Music neighborhood. The weight of the cluster of grapes is cacophony. The weight of the cluster of grapes is "rapmelodious". The fruit of menacing vocals, word groups, curdled the fruit of the vine in the Music Neighborhood.

God has made an appearance in the neighborhood to rebuild the fence. The breach in the fence will be repaired. 

 

Nehemiah Is sent by the king to rebuild Jerusalem. Nehemiah, having finished the wall, returned to the Persian court, and came to Jerusalem again with a new commission. The public safety depends on every one's care to guard himself and his family against sin. (Ne 7:5-73). The success of one good design for God and our generation should encourage us to proceed and form some other; Nehemiah did so, having fortified Jerusalem with gates and walls, his next care is, I. To see the city well kept (v. 1-4). II. To see it well peopled. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
