Way of the Reaping

Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.

Genesis 49:21

And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.

Deuteronomy 33:23

The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families.

33 And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan:

34 And then the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising.

Joshua 19:32-34

Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.

1 Chronicles 12:40

And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh.

13 And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.

1 Samuel 6:12-13

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny.

Matthew 20:1-2; 12-13

Naphtali dwells right there beside Zebulon in their little house by the sea. Now it's a very good neighbor for reasons just like this. Remember when the demons had been drowned in the sea as of before, but John would've called it a baptism. It seems they ran on into this house which is why they were no more. Naphtali is a mighty funny little house for this very reason. Its power is words which means the power of the cup flows through here. It's not stolen though, only borrowed and with it returned. Hence, it's a blessing in disguise as seen from this point. Other houses that have tried to grab the power of the cup for their own have not been half as successful nor has it been half as happy for them. The reason I know this is because of the words. Perhaps you might know people that have drank just a little bit more. Suddenly they feel the need to share their whole life's story like that. Demons of a certain level are more than attracted by mere words and so are caught and retained.

Only trouble with this is that demons out of their level are nothing more than fallen angels, or inhabitants of the valley of Rephidim. Doesn't Nephilim and Rephidim sound very much alike? That's because they are in a way from the very same place. David back in his day had lots of trouble with these folks as he frequently battled the Philistines over this very place. Once Philistines, no longer, for with some little persuasion, they fit right into this house. Then it makes perfect sense to send as many dinner foods as you please that go with the wine out from the house down by the sea. Naphtali's main function though concerns that of the harvest. They're reapers you see, cause the land there grows plenty of crops being quite fertile of course. Thus, their physical and spiritual place concerns the control of the harvest and also the reaping therewith. That's why the Lord of it all must be prayed to send forth his reapers into the midst thereof for they are a little short-staffed out there. The results of them being sent though is that the pay from the harvest for each man is exactly the same. I suppose their words to the Master are some payment therewith beyond what this coin will provide. I'd say it's more than fair, wouldn't you think?
