If we look at the water as the Word of the Lord, and a traveler as someone not from Jerusalem, it could possibly have another reference to Ephraim (in the Americas) and the restoration. This event also is the commencement of the gathering. I would assume she would put the biggest piece at the well first before going back home, so there is sequential plausibility with this also.<br /><br />Similarly, bringing the other piece home could represent Judah, which we know will be given the light of the gospel at some future time. Hence, it would occur after the first piece being placed (restoration) and may signify the "finish" of the scattering because she has performed her service in full of putting both pieces in their proper place so they can fulfill their proper function.<br /><br />Interesting how something like the broken potsherd that shows the ruin of Israel can also symbolically depict its return.Jennifer O.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064537678232187859.post-67311644196363154862009-07-27T07:49:15.032-06:002009-07-27T07:49:15.032-06:00Well, I guess you need to break it into little pie...Well, I guess you need to break it into little pieces so that it can be scattered better...Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01614506594508962361noreply@blogger.com
