Thu, Jan 06, 2011, Song of Solomon 1                                Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully begin our feast in Song of Solomon (SoS).  Now we are getting into the meat of our relationship with Jesus; “4 Take me away with you—let us hurry!  Let the king bring me into his chambers.  We rejoice and delight in you we will praise your love more than wine. How right they are to adore you” - Song of Solomon 1:4 (New International Version ©2010).   Our God is awesome and this is poetry out of love for him.  In all of this let’s never forget issue number one.  As we read the Song of Solomon we begin to get an inkling of God’s love for us; "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 – Modern King James Version.  Our relationship with God is truly a love affair like no other.  Today my bride and I are celebrating forty three years of marriage.  We know that Jesus put us together and we are for now one person in the Lord.  If I am wrong or mistaken please let me know in an email or call me: 1- (760) 592-9251 let your light shine. Let’s continue to feast together so our life will reflect our hearts. If God is willing, we will love him with a happy heart, and I will post and send the Feast tomorrow.   “[Be Holy] Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.” - 1 Peter 1:13  - (Bible Gateway dot com, New International Version ©2010).   Song of Solomon Overview; “This book is a Divine allegory, which represents the love between Christ and his church of true believers, under figures taken from the relation and affection that subsist between a bridegroom and his espoused bride; an emblem often employed in Scripture, as describing the nearest, firmest, and most sure relation: see ( Psalm 45 , Isaiah 54:5,6 , Jeremiah 2:2 , Jeremiah 3:1 ) ; also in Ezekiel, Hosea, and by our Lord himself, ( Matthew 9:15 , Matthew 25:1 ) : see also ( Revelation 21:2,9 , Ephesians 5:27 ) . There is no character in the church of Christ, and no situation in which the believer is placed, but what may be traced in this book, as humble inquirers will find, on comparing it with other Scriptures, by the assistance of God the Holy Spirit, in answer to their supplications. Much, however, of the language has been misunderstood by expositors and translators. The difference between the customs and manners of Europe, and those of the East, must especially be kept in view. The little acquaintance with eastern customs possessed by most of our early expositors and translators, has in many cases prevented a correct rendering. Also, the changes in our own language, during the last two or three centuries, affect the manner in which some expressions are viewed, and they must not be judged by modern notions. But the great outlines, rightly interpreted, fully accord with the affections and experience of the sincere Christian.” – Matthew Henry Concise   The Feast Thu, Jan 06, 2011, Song of Solomon; “The title. (1) The church confesses her deformity. (2-6) The church beseeches Christ to lead her to the resting-place of his people. (7,8) Christ's commendation of the church, Her esteem for Him. (9-17).” - Matthew Henry Concise.   God Bless you, Brother Mike http://www.admenu.com Tags: Jesus, love, hope, care, god, holy, ghost, happy, save, help
