control, the head in disarray indicates disorder, a scattered authority. A bald head according to Bible symbology indicates the object or subject to which the prophetic dream or vision is attached is ashamed or shameful. When Scripture makes such comments about the head and baldness, it is talking about the deliberate act of shaving one’s head for spiritual, practical, or ritualistic reasons. Frequently, priests of pagan gods required their servants to be bald in order to serve them so their exterior head could reflect images the deity might transmit.

See Numbers 27:17; 2 Chronicles 18:16; 1 Kings 22:17; Matthew 9:36; Mark 6:34. These all show the tragedy, according to God, of flocks being headless. 613.
