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. [Like] the lily among [the] thorns, so is my love among, [a.k.a. In the midst of,] the daughters. [Song of Solomon 4:10 How fair your love is, my sister, my spouse! How much better your love is than wine! And the [fragrance] of your [perfumes] [is better] than all spices!]

My beloved among the sons, is [like] the apple tree, among the trees of the [woods.] I sat down under his shadow with great delight, & his fruit was sweet to taste. [Revelation 22:1-2 And [the Angel showed] me a pure river of [the] Water of Life, clear as crystal, [flowing] out of the throne of God & of the Lamb. In the [middle] of [its] street & on either side of the river, there was the Tree of Life, which bare 12 [types] of fruits & [produced its] fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.]

He brought me to the Banqueting House, & His banner over me was love. [Revelation 21:2-6 And I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared [like] a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, [Look,] the tabernacle of God is with men. And He will dwell with them, & they  shall be His people. And God, Himself, shall be with them, & be their God. *And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall no [longer] be: death, sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be anymore pain; for the [previous] things [have] passed away. And He, [Who] sat upon the throne said, [Look,] I make all things new. And He said to me, Write: for these Words are True, & Faithful. And He said to me, It is done. I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will freely give to him [who] is [thirsty from] the Fountain of the Water of Life. ]

[Sustain] me with flagons [of wine,] & comfort me with apples. [Luke 12:22-24 And [Jesus] said to His disciples, Therefore, I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; Neither for the body, what you shall put on. The life is more than meat, [a.k.a. food,] & the body is more than [clothing.] Consider the ravens: for they neither sow, nor reap; [that] neither have [storehouses,] nor [barns,] & God [feeds] them. How much more better are you than the [birds?]

For I am [lovesick.] [Matthew 22:37 Jesus said to them, You [shall] love the Lord your God with all your heart, & with all your soul, & with all your mind.]

His left hand is under my head, & His right hand [embraces] me. [Isaiah 41:10 [Don't] you fear; for I Am with you. [Don't] be [discouraged; for I Am your God. I will strengthen you. [Yes,] I will help you. [Yes,] I will uphold you with the right hand of My Righteousness.]

O you daughters of Jerusalem, I [order] you that you [be as quiet as:] [gazelles & does] of the field, & [don't] stir up, nor awake my love, [until] he [pleases.] [Romans 13:10-12 Love [works] no ill [will] to his [neighbor.] Therefore, love is fulfilling the Law. And [know] that it is high time to awake out of sleep. For our Salvation is nearer now, than when we [first] believed. The night is [almost over,] & the day is at hand, [a.k.a. near.] Therefore, let us cast off the works of darkness, & let us put on the [armor] of Light.]

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, & at the windows, he [looks out, showing] himself through the [garden] lattice. [1 Peter 1:3-5 Blessed [is:] God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, [Who] according to His abundant mercy [has] begotten us again, unto a [living] hope through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an undefiled, & [incorruptible] inheritance, reserved in heaven for you,  who are kept by the power of God, through faith, that [doesn't] fade away, [for Salvation: ready to be revealed in the last [times.]

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. [1 Peter 1:24-25 For all flesh is [like] grass, & all the glory of man [like] the [grass' flowers.] The grass [withers,] & the flower [of it falls] away. But the Word of the Lord [endures] forever. And this is the Word which we preached to you [through] the Gospel [about Jesus Christ.]

The fig tree [produces its] green figs, & the vines with [its] tender [grapes] give a good [aroma.] [John 15:5 I Am the Vine, & you are the branches. He, [who abides] in Me, & I in him, the same [produces] much fruit. For you can do nothing without Me.]

Arise, my love, my fair one, & come away. [Revelation 22:16-17 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I Am the Root, & the Offspring, [a.k.a. the lineage,] of David, & the Bright Morning Star. And the [Holy] Spirit & the bride say, Come. And let him [who hears] say, Come. And let him [who] is [thirsty,] come. And [whoever] [is] [willing,] let him take the Water of Life freely.]

O my dove, [You] [are] in the [holes in] the [rocks,] & in the secret places of the [cliff's rocky] [steps.] Let me see Your [face.] [Matthew 17:1-3 And after 6 days, Jesus [took:] Peter, James, & John, his brother, & [brought] them up into [a] high, [secluded] mountain, & was transfigured [in front of] them. And His face [shone like] the sun, & His [clothes were] white [like] the Light. And [saw] Moses, & [Elijah] appeared there to them, talking with [Jesus.]

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. And, [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] the foxes [for] us, the little foxes, that spoil the vines. For our vines have tender grapes. [John 15:1-4 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, a.k.a. produces,] fruit, He [prunes] it, [so] that it may [produce] more fruit. Now, you are clean through the Word, [that] I have spoken to you. Abide, [a.k.a. Remain,] in Me, & I in you. [Like] the branch can’t [produce] fruit [by] itself, [unless] it [remains] in the vine. No more [than] you can, [unless] you [remain] in Me.]

My beloved is Mine, & I am His. [Revelation 3:20-21 [Look,] I stand at the door, & knock. If any man [hears] My voice, & [opens] the door, I will come in to him, & will [dine] with him, & he with Me. I will grant to him, [who overcomes,] to sit with Me [on] My throne, even [like] I also overcame, & Am [sitting] down with My Father [on] His throne.]

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 20:24-30 But Thomas, 1 of the 12, called Didymus, wasn't with them when Jesus came. Therefore, the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But [Thomas] said, [Unless,] I shall see the print of the nails in His hands, & put my finger into the nail prints, & thrust my hand into His side, I won't believe. And after 8 days, again His disciples were [inside,] & Thomas with them. The doors being shut, then, Jesus came, & stood in the [middle,] & said, Peace be to you. *Then, [Jesus] said to Thomas, Reach your  finger [here,] & [see] My hands, & reach your hand [here,] & thrust it into My  side. And [don't] be [without faith,] but believing. And Thomas answered, & said to Him, My Lord & my God. Jesus said to him, Thomas, because you [have] seen Me, you [have] believed. Blessed are [those who] haven't seen, & [still] have believed.]
