Love of Jesus in the Song of Songs

In Song of Songs

  • Farmer boy is in love with her.
  • She is in love with the former boy
  • The King is in love with a country girl
  • When Solomon want to wood that girl, he came in disguise of a country boy
  • That is the picture of King of all Kings ( Jesus Christ ) , when He came to us, He came in a lowly way
  • Jesus is rich but He came in to a poor family ( which can be proved when Mary gave 2 doves , which normally only Poor people will give )
  • Marry came from Natan, David’s son
  • Joseph came from Solomon son
  • Because of the curse on a king, Johoyakin a king of Judah, they became poor
  • Ox = Very Rich
  • Lamp = Middle income
  • Pair of Doves = Poor
  • Jesus didn’t remain poor
  • Wherever Jesus is , Gold will come, Myrh and Frankisense . Jesus sponsored His flight to Alexandra after that.

Song of Songs is like

Watching a play

  • Daughters of Jerusalem narrating
  • Beloved narating
  • Shepherd king narrating

Feminine Speciality

  • Picture of Church
  • You are the one receiving the love/protection
  • You are made to be loved
  • you are not made to be rule the man
  • Equal position but not same function

 

  • First thing she says, let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth ( to the pure all things are pure )
  • Love does not wants the knowledge from a far, Love wants intimacy.
  • We are here not just to know about Jesus, but to draw near to Him
  • We want Him to kiss us
  • The word worship in Hebrew http://biblehub.com/greek/4352.htm proskuneo is also called to kiss
  • We normally don’t give kisses freely and we are very careful about our kisses
  • To kiss you should come near

Joseph Story

  • Joseph Told to his brothers, even after they betrayed him, “Come near to me”
  • Then he says “you will dwell in goshan ” :
  • Goshan in Hebrew its called drawing near
  • And their ( in the place of nearness ), i will provide for you
  • i will feed you
  • I will protect you and your loved ones and your little ones
  • We are all near to God
  • But we have to be near to Jesus ( all are not near to Jesus )
  • There was 70 disciples around Jesus when He walked on earth.
  • Later on 12 remained
    Many of the 70 left
  • Out of twelve there were 3 who were closer ( Peter, James , John )
  • Out of three one is even closer ( John )

Song of Solomon 1:7-8
New King James Version (NKJV)

(To Her Beloved)

7 Tell me, O you whom I love,
Where you feed your flock,
Where you make it rest at noon.
For why should I be as one who veils herself
By the flocks of your companions?

The Beloved

8 If you do not know, O fairest among women,
Follow in the footsteps of the flock,
And feed your little goats
Beside the shepherds’ tents.

Good Shepherds

  1. Feed
  2. Rest

O fairest among women

  • God does not love you after you have come and arrive at a place of holiness
  • He loves you from the start of your Journey
  • But He sees you as most beautiful among women
  • Fairest in Hebrew : http://biblehub.com/hebrew/3303.htm yapheh , which means beautiful

Follow in the footsteps of the flock

  • This is the answer for question “You know where your Lord is?”
  • Answer : Go to church
  • Find out other flock where they are well fed and you will find the Lord
  • Please where the Lord feeding the Goats, besides where the shepherd tent
  • When we come together then its shepherd’s tent

Tent

  • Tent is temporal
  • Buildings are temporal
  • Thats why we use our money to serve Him
  • We don’t use God to serve money
  • God wants to prosper people. Yes.
  • But we should be careful on over emphasis on Prosperity. It turns people off. Jesus is more important than money
  • With Jesus you are provided for and much more.

Song of Solomon 4:1-5
New King James Version (NKJV)

The Bridegroom Praises the Bride

The Beloved

4 Behold, you are fair, my love!
Behold, you are fair!
You have dove’s eyes behind your veil.
Your hair is like a flock of goats,
Going down from Mount Gilead.
2 Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep
Which have come up from the washing,
Every one of which bears twins,
And none is barren among them.
3 Your lips are like a strand of scarlet,
And your mouth is lovely.
Your temples behind your veil
Are like a piece of pomegranate.
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,
Built for an armory,
On which hang a thousand bucklers,
All shields of mighty men.
5 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle,
Which feed among the lilies.

For the health of the daughter of my people?

Teeth

2 Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep
Which have come up from the washing,
Every one of which bears twins,
And none is barren among them.

  • shorn sheep ( sheep with hair cut ) and snow are so white. They wear Eye Glasses while cutting hair of sheep and also for snow ( snow reflecting the sun light is so powerful )

  • Jesus is the only Lamp who is without blemish and without spot
    • without blemish in His birth and without spot in His life.
  • God says “when I see you, i see your new birth. your new birth has no blemish, no spot”

The Lord calls us without Blemish and without Spot

With me from Lebanon.
Look from the top of Amana,
From the top of Senir and Hermon,
From the lions’ dens,
From the mountains of the leopards.
9 You have ravished my heart,
My sister, my spouse;
You have ravished my heart
With one look of your eyes,
With one link of your necklace.
10 How fair is your love,
My sister, my spouse!
How much better than wine is your love,
And the scent of your perfumes
Than all spices!
11 Your lips, O my spouse,
Drip as the honeycomb;
Honey and milk are under your tongue;
And the fragrance of your garments
Is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

  • Sister : Jesus is our elder brother and our spouse
  • Beautiful places : Lebanon, the top of Amana, top of Senir and Hermon,
  • But there are dangerous things like lions’ dens and mountains of the leopards
  • lions and leopards hunt sheep
  • Love is better than wine ( yayin in Hebrew : http://biblehub.com/hebrew/3196.htm :  first time when Noah drunk wine , it intoxicated him )
  • Honey and Milk : Land filled with milk and honey are under your tongue, in your words
    • When you speak you enjoy your promise land
  • Jesus is not saying , go away from that place , go other place, depart
    • Depart , go away means, : I am here and you are there : makes a separation between God and us
  • Jesus is not saying don’t go near
  • Jesus is saying, come with me. Thats the love of Chirst
  • Come unto me I will give you rest

Jesus saying to us, Come with me

  • First word a child learns is come ( Eg: Come to daddy )
  • Grace is all about come
  • Old Covenant : don’t come near me

What ravishes the heart of Jesus?

With one look of our eyes,
With one link of our necklace

  •  Ravish is so powerful
  • That much Jesus love us

Come

I Believe that the Book of revelation corresponds to the 22 letters of the hebrew alphabet

  • 2nd letter : Bet : Church is in Chapter 2
  • 5 : Grace : Redeems taking the scroll ( Worthy is the Lamp ) : chapter 5
  • 22 : Last letter tav : Jesus : Chapter 22

Revelation 22:16
New King James Version (NKJV)

16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

How Root and Offspring of David?

  • Being God and Man
  • Root : Jesus the Root and David being the branch ( Deity )
  • Offspring : David brought Jesus forth : Jesus manhood

Everyone who are thirst

Revelation 22:17

New King James Version (NKJV)

9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.

The grace of God to see the Lord

Peace with all people and Holiness

  • The grace of God is the root to pursue Peace with all people and Holiness
  • This verse is about seeing the Lord, but not about going to heaven
  • If you want to see the Lord:
    • don’t fall short from of the grace of God, –> that leads to peace with all people ( opposite of bitterness with all people ) and holiness, –> that leads to seeing the Lord
  • Falling short from the grace of God –> leads to bitterness, leads to sin

What is grace of God? .. click for more information

Hebrews 12:14-29

New King James Version (NKJV)

14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; 16 lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

Mount Sinai

The Glorious Company

18 For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, 19 and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore. 20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: “And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.” 21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)

Mount Zion

22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

Hear the Heavenly Voice

25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Opposite to Peace and Holiness

  • Peace opposite : bitterness
  • Holiness opposite : example like fornication

Holiness, without which no one will see the Lord

  • holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:
    • he is talking about revelation
    • he is talking not talking about going to heaven
    • he is talking to the Jews
    • see in it’s context
      • the verse ends with colon(:), which means the verse is continuing on to next
      • so read all together to understand its meaning
  • Following verse comes to say that there is a relation between holiness and Grace of God.
    • Holiness and Grace of God are directly proportional and same

      • So don’t depend on your performance, depend on Jesus performance

Words of people with bitterness

And they go down into the inmost body.

Proverbs 18:8
King James Version (KJV)

8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Living water

John 7:38
King James Version (KJV)

38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

John 4:10-14
New King James Version (NKJV)

10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? 12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”

13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Living water in regards to Jews

  • If a Jew touches another defiled person, they themselves become Defiled.
  • Jews, when they were defiled, to remove their defilement, they come to a place where they take bath.
  • In that place, to make the water new, they will pour newly stored water on to the remaining water to make the water pure, so that the defilement can be removed. That stored water is called living water.
  • So living water for Jews means, it will cleanses them from defilement. A person without defilement will receive blessings from God
  • Imagine, living water which which comes from inside, would make many people clean.

Peace with people and holiness

  • What produces peace with people?
  • What produces holiness?
  • by which you produce fresh revelation, it is always in the Grace of God

Long before any sin, they fall from Grace, which leads to bitterness and then sin.

No more consciousness of sins

Hebrews 10:1-4
New King James Version (NKJV)

Animal Sacrifices Insufficient

10 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.

All the offering of the Old Testament are shadows of the substance. Jesus is the substance. If the Substance is here why do we need to go for shadow?

  • The burn offering
  • The meal offering
  • The peace offering
  • The sin and trespass offering

Once in Greek hapax , once for all
http://biblehub.com/greek/530.htm

Perfect not pertaining to our behaviour, Perfect in our conscience

Hebrews 9:9-10
New King James Version (NKJV)

9 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience— 10 concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.
