Laurie,
This man was amazing.....I met him a few years ago Shen I stopped to
buy dome raw honey at his house on Ballentine Rd......the road that
Jefferson Rd. turns into after you cross the river headed towards Chili.
The last time I was there.....09' maybe 2010......he invited me into
his house. What a blessing......he was 84 or 85 then, and he had the
peace and joy of God all over him! He told me his life story......how
he had just lost his wife Anne, a few years earlier......and how he had
been a bee keeper for over 40 years.

We chatted for quite a while....I think he was enjoying having someone
listen to him and his wonderful stories. Anyway, I read that putting
honey on the affected areas when you have shingles, is really good for
the healing process to begin. So, I took off two days ago for his
little house on Ballentine Rd., just west of Scottsville Rd., pulled in
his driveway and called the woman who had answered his phone number,
tom tell her I was in the driveway. She then told me the news, Mr.
gamble had passed away at the age of 88 a few months ago, and that I
could come and buy the honey from her. She lived a few more miles away
towards Chili, so off I went to buy my raw honey. I bought two jars,
for $20.00, and heard how he had gone into the hospital a few months
before he had passed away.

I feel somehow, that his passing and the bees he loved and spent so
much time with over the last 40, ...yes, 40 years, is prophetic,
somehow. Bees are dying in record numbers around the world right now,
causing some to speculate that, as a result, the pollination of so many
different types of plants, could be gravely affected, possibly leading
to a decrease in the food grown on/by plants worldwide? The number 40
is prophetic for a time period of testing...trial.....I think, and
could signify we are moving intonation different, possibly much more
difficult, season?

Lastly, honey is prophetic for "revelation".....

Psalm 119:103
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my
mouth!
Psalm 119:102-104 (in Context) Psalm 119 (Whole Chapter) Other
Translations

Do you see anything prophetic regarding Mr. Gamble's passing and the
bees.....he was a believer, as well, originally from the deep South.
