Inspired by the words of 1 Kings 4:25, "Throughout the lifetime of Solomon, all of Judah and Israel lived in peace and safety; and each family had its own home and garden," the author associates some familiar Scripture with natural sites or events from his own experience, or from his own "garden." The caterpillar that signals a future life relates to the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15:35-36; the bicolored dogwood tree to the double treasure of Matthew 13:52; the willow tree, to the Festival of Shelters in Leviticus 23; the vine conjures up the story of Jonah at Nineveh; the shade tree brings to mind the dream of Nebuchadnezzar. The morning mist goes back to the first appearance of life-giving water in Genesis; the clouds to the Tabernacle and the movement of the Israelites in Exodus and Numbers; and the rain conjures up the great flood and Elijah's troubles with Ahab and Jezebel.
