Looking for the Lord God, Compared to Looking for Her Beloved |
Song of Solomon 3:1-11 The Song of Solomon [in Smaller Chunks] |
I sought Him, Whom my soul loves, [at] night on my bed, but I [didn't] find Him. [Isaiah 1:15-16 And when you spread [out] your hands, I will hide [My] eyes from you. [Yes,] when you make many prayers, I won’t hear: your hands are full of [bloodshed.] Wash [yourselves] & make [yourselves] clean. Put away the evil of your [actions] from [in front of] My eyes & [stop doing] evil.] |
I will rise now & go in the streets, [around] the city & I will seek Him, Whom my soul loves in the [wide roads.] I sought Him, but I [didn’t] find Him. The [night guards, who] go [around] the city found me: to whom I said, [Did] you see him, whom my soul loves? It was [just] a little [while] that I passed from them, but I found him, whom my soul loves. |
I held him & wouldn't let him go, until I brought him into my mother's house & into the [bedroom, where she] conceived me. O you daughters of Jerusalem, I [order] you, [to be quiet like] the [gazelles & does] of the field, [so] you [don't] stir him, nor [wake up] my love, [until] he [pleases.] |
Who is this that comes out of the wilderness, like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh & frankincense, with all [types] of powders [from] the merchant? [See,] his bed, which is Somomon's: 60 valiant men, of the valiant of Israel, are [around] it. |
Being expert in war, they all hold swords. Every man has his sword upon his thigh, because of fear in the night. King Solomon made himself a chariot of wood [from] Lebanon. |
He made [the chariot's] pillars of silver & [its] bottom of gold. The covering of it [is made] of purple & [its interior is lined] with love, [by] the daughters of Jerusalem. |
O you daughters of Zion, Go [forward & see] king Solomon with the crown, [with which] his mother crowned him [on] the day of his [wedding,] the day of his [heart's] gladness. |
[Revelation 19:9-12 And [the Angel said] to me, Write, Blessed are [those who] are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true sayings of God. |
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See [that] you [don't] do it. I am your fellow servant & of the brethren, [who] have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. |
And I saw heaven opened & [saw] a white horse & He, [Who] sat upon him, was called Faithful & True. He [does] judge & make war in righteousness. His eyes were [like] a flame of fire & on His head were many crowns. And He had a Name written, that no man knew, but He Himself.] |
