Going to the Banqueting Table, Compared to Jesus Christ in Heaven |
Song of Solomon 2:1-17 The Song of Solomon [in Smaller Chunks] |
I am the Rose of Sharon & the Lily of the Valleys. My love among the daughters, is [like] the lilies among [the] thorns. My beloved among the sons, is [like] an apple tree among the trees of the [forest.] I sat under his shadow with great delight & his fruit was sweet to taste. |
He brought me to the Banqueting House & His banner over me was love. [Revelation 4:2-3 And immediately, I was in the Spirit & [saw] a throne was [sitting] in heaven & One sat on the throne. And He, [Who] sat was like a Jasper & a [Sardius] Stone, to look upon & there was a rainbow [around] the throne, [similar to seeing] an emerald.] |
[Sustain] me with flagons [of wine] & comfort me with apples, for I am [lovesick.] His left hand is under my head & his right hand [embraces] me. O you daughters of Jerusalem, I [order] you that you [be as quiet as: gazelles & does] of the field & [don't] stir, nor awake my love, [until] he [pleases.] |
The voice of my beloved! [Look,] he comes leaping upon the mountains & skipping upon the hills. My beloved is like a [gazelle] or a young [stag.] [Look,] he stands behind our wall & he looks [out] at the windows, [showing] himself through the [garden] lattice. |
My beloved [spoke] & said to me, Rise up, my love, my fair one & come away. For, [look,] the winter is past & the rain is over & gone. The flowers appear on the earth & the time of birds singing [has] come & the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. |
The fig tree [produces its] green figs & the vines with [its] tender [grapes] give a good [aroma.] Arise, my love, my fair one & come away. Let me see Your [face,] O my dove, [You] are in the [holes in] the [rocks] in a secret places of the [rocky steps.] |
Let me hear Your voice, for Your voice is sweet & Your face is [pleasing.] [1 Kings 19:11-13 And He said, Go [out] & stand upon the [mountain] before the Lord & [saw,] the Lord passed by & a great, strong wind [tore] the mountains & [broke] the rocks [into] pieces before the Lord. But the Lord wasn't in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake; but the Lord wasn't in the earthquake. |
And after the earthquake, a fire; but the Lord wasn't in the fire. And after the fire, a still small voice. And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his [cloak] & went out & stood in the [entrance] of the cave. And, behold a voice came to him there & said, What [are] you [doing] here, Elijah?] |
[Catch] us, the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines. For our vines have tender grapes. My beloved is mine & I am his & he feeds [his flock] among the lilies. [Return,] my beloved until daybreak & the shadows flee away & you be like a [gazelle] or a young [stag] upon the Mountains of Bether. |
[John 15:1-5 I Am the True Vine & My Father is the [Keeper of the Vineyard.] He takes away every branch in Me that doesn’t bear fruit. And every branch that bears fruit, He [prunes] it, [so] that it may [produce] more fruit. Now, you are clean through the Word, [that] I have spoken to you. [Remain] in Me & I in you. [Like] the branch can’t [produce] fruit of itself, [unless] it [remains] in the vine. No more [than] you can, [unless] you [remain] in Me. I Am the vine & you are the branches. He, [who remains] in Me & I in him, the same [produces] much fruit. For without Me, you can do nothing.] |
