Ezekiel 1:26 “And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the thro

For as Jesus spoke in Luke 12:34 “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ” it is true, if one make one's ego and the delusion of personal renown the sole center piece of one's life, than that is one's treasure and ones fleeting reward one's existence rather than receiving the reward to dwell eternally in the presence of God. Has not Abimelech returned unto the dust, as he awaits condemnation on the day of judgment? Also, realize whatever a wisdom a man has, apart from God he has no assurance that he can control his own heart, or that he will according to his own power keep his soul and thus will be pure in heart as his spirit leaves this world.

On a side note, if one still thinks that a Holy God is arbitrary, consider the metaphorical significance found in the account of Abimelech in the time of Judges, whose story is something I believe most perceive as a somewhat less significant portion of the Bible. It certainly doesn't appear to be a random act, was not God's providence in play in the act? One reasons that the details of the account were not reordered in the Book of Judges for no apparent reason.

Abimelech is felled by a woman who stands atop a strong tower and casts down a heavy piece of millstone down upon Abimelech head which is therein crushed. Again, sas God's providence in the occurrence? Was it chance that a certain woman struck Abimelech the chief of the tower's assailants, and leader of the men of Schem, that she was able to pick out Abimelech by chance in a melee and in a siege of fire as though Abimelech stood still underneath her oblivious to her as she released a heavy stone fragment which did not miss its intended target, or did she just close her eyes and let a stone fall where it will, and the stone happened to fell Abimelech who spontaneously was standing in the wrong spot at the wrong time, and spontaneously by chance, was not felled by a man casting down stones from atop the tower?

If this is Gods hand in play as recorded in the Holy Bible in the felling of Abimilech then one would expect symbolism to follow because God is not arbitrary when he acts. What follows one reasons could be the symbolism.

The woman on top of a strong tower, she is symbolized as God's Bride, God's people, the bride of Jesus Christ (Rev 21:9) and as heaven itself as the Bible indicates. Symbolically Revelation 12:5 “And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.” as she is metaphorically present both heaven and God's people, being joined together as one in the same, and the man child is a of a form of a Nazarite, of the form of a child by birth consecrated unto the LORD as Holy (shown by 1 Samuel 1:11, Numbers 6) though perhaps not under the vow. Revelation is in accordance with what Jesus says in Mathew 12:48-50 “But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”This is how the psalmist in the spirit in Psalm 87 says of her, alluding to heaven and God's people, as “O city of God,” and “Zion” (affirmed by Revelation 21:2 and Psalm 45) Psalm 87:5 “And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.” and how Psalm 87:5 declares “that man” to be the Lord, the Messiah, Jesus of Nazereth, Jesus Christ, and as for “the highest himself shall establish her.”, this is Messiah, God come in the flesh, establishing the Kingdom of Heaven as alluded to in Psalm 118:23-24 “Thestone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD’S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.”
