Beloved Names of God..series "Plant of Renown"

Plant of Renown

"And I will raise up for them a plan of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.

Ezekiel 34:29 KJV

 

• Name of God the Son
• Jesus is referred to as a "plant of renown" once in the KJV.
• The term Plan of Renown may have been another way of referring to the Branch of Jesse, a description ( and prediction) of the coming Messiah. In talking about being hungry no more, Ezekiel was probably referring to the Plant of Renown satisfying our spiritual hunger.
• Ezekiel reminded the Israelites that, despite present troubles God was still with them and would be their deliverance.

After all the uproar about genetically modified crops, there are still people who think that what the scientist are trying to achieve is a find and worthwhile goal. The plans they want to "create" will, they hope, thrive in harsher environments, provide a greater yield, and help sustain life. Of course, we wouldn't have to manipulate our agriculture into working overtime if people could be convinced to turn away with war, corruption, and greed, concentrating instead on "Love they neighbor,"

 

It was a Plant of Renown who gave that advice. The Holy Spirit planted a seed that grew and lived in such a hostile environment that it was killed a mere three years after glowering. But in those three years, it produced a yield of first twelve, then hundreds, and then millions of others. And as for sustaining life, the Plant of Renown sustains lives of renown, and no just until the next harvest- forever!
