Metaphysical meaning of Bukkiah (mbd)
Bukkiah, buk-kl'-ah (Heb.)--proved of Jehovah; mouth of Jah; wasted by Jehovah; wasting; dispensation of the Lord .
A musician who was appointed by David for service in the Temple (I Chron. 25:4, 13).
Meta. The meaning of dispensation as given in Webster's New International Dictionary includes the thought of "distribution of good and evil by God to man." The seemingly contradictory meanings attributed to the name Bukkiah suggest the same thing. The truth is, however, that God is good and only good can come to man from Him. If man experiences error and inharmony, these are not put upon him by God; he brings them upon himself by his failure to harmonize his thoughts, words, and acts with the Lord, or divine law.
There is a positive pole and a negative pole to every expression of God in His creation. The negative is not evil, however, but needs to be rightly balanced with the positive in order to bring about the perfect good. Bukkiah represents divine harmony in the consciousness of man, established by a right adjustment of his positive and negative planes of thought, thus balancing and equalizing his forces.
