Virgins Brides and Vineyards

 

 

 

In Song of Solomon we find virgins who love the bridegroom because… yet they will inquire of the shulamite the Bride in the making whose relationship to the groom takes her to transcendency and beyond

 

They love what he is , who He is and his effects but the Bride is the captive prisoner of His ravishing heart beating out affections for her… having become entangled in her “tresses” of locks of hair… In 2 Cor. 11 it talks about a woman’s hair saying it is her covering upon her head the sign of her authority before things spiritual.  He then is her “hair” her covering her crown upon her. Thus the entanglement.  In the “yarn of entwining” both lovers and Beloveds dine upon their mutual love for each other.  In scripture the Vineyard speaks of Israel on the one hand and the “ecclesia” on the other and between these the heart of God’s redeemed encovenanted Creation. (said encovenanting is either by Torah Law or by the Blood of the LAMB)

 

So it is as the heart collective of Christendom gathers together that those who love Jesus are found and of these is found her whose heart is given away.  For of a truth Fair Bride doesn’t merely love Him but is IN LOVE WITH Him.  She can deny Him nothing

She can withhold nothing

She cannot be separated but seeks transcendent union

For her sacrifice she is

Misunderstood

Beaten

 And shamed.

 

She knows not what is happening

She only knows the driven compulsion that wrack mind and body

Until she transcending overcomes mortality itself to rise unto the object of her obsession… the fair King of GLORY!

 

If you find her I encourage you to discern her and her plight and treat with grace and mercy for every hand that ill treats this most magnificent creature shall answer as did the watchmen to her husband the King.

 

How did He repay the watchmen you ask?

 

How did Xerxes II (Ahasuerus) repay Haman?

Was it for what he tried to do to Israel or the embarrassment of misuse of the Kings authority or was it that top everything off this at the time inebriated man filled with terror at the prospect of his doom fell all over the favored Queen entreating her favor?

 

Mark well the heathen kings response.

 

Or ask Adonijah Solomon’s bratty brother.

 

Adonijah politically attempted a coup which caused Solomon to be crowned King prematurely.  To Solomon David gave Abishag a Shunamites who had been His warm body at night and primary care giver in the day.  David left her a virgin and having in his own way prepared her; made her Solomon’s first wife. 
When Adonijah was pardoned by Solomon on condition that he behaved himself and refrain from being a “horses neck”, came to ask Bathsheba for Abishag the Shunamites’s hand form Solomon…  Solomon blew his cork at “mom”.  “Take her?’ he basically says “why not just give him the crown and the throne and the kingdom as well??” Adonijah was slaughtered that day!

 

Therefore handle this prisoner of love with great care for she ravished poor Shulamite is not her own.   She has been captivated and possessed of Christ’s love.
