song of songs 2:13-17
Last week we ended with verse 12
song
The voice of the turtledove is heard in Israel at the harvest time.
The fig tree puts forth the green figs just before the mature figs.
The fragrance of the young tender grapes indicates the harvest.
The time of singing associated with the harvest has begun.
The greatest revival in history is around the corner.
The singing has begun as houses of prayer are raising up worldwide and as
days of worship (Global Day of Prayer, The Call, etc.) gather multitudes to stadiums to sing.
"The fig tree putteth forth..." These figs are winter figs.
They signify fruit that still remains after passing through death.
This fruit has passed through the cross and has been tested, but it still remains.
"The vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance" (RSV).
The vines are just blossoming; this is in the present tense.
This means the situation is full of the hope of fruit-bearing and that the fruit-bearing is certain.
No one sees vine blossoms; before the flowers have time to exhibit themselves, they have turned into fruit already.
Other blossoms may not consummate in fruit.
But when the vine blossoms, it will surely bring forth fruit.
This is the position of resurrection.
Everything that is dead is over, and the future is full of assurance.
(NASB95)
(NASB95)
14 “O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret place of the steep pathway,
Let me see your form,
Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your form is lovely.”
Watchman Nee says, “Formerly, the maiden was only described as having the eyes of a dove.
Now she is described as a dove itself.”
Formerly, the maiden was only described as having the eyes of a dove.
Now she is described as a dove itself.
The Lord calls her according to the position she is about to attain.
If she hides in the clefts of the rock and in the secret places of the stairs, she will truly live a life in the Spirit.
This is why the Lord calls her this way.
We find our safety in God's grace in two places, the cleft and the cliff.
The cleft of the rock speaks of the finished work of the cross.
We are to stand with confidence before God in our weakness as we present ourselves to God as we trust in Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Jesus was the spiritual Rock in Moses’ day and is the rock on which the Church is built.
They drank of that spiritual Rock…and that Rock was Christ…
)
)
On this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail…
)
)
God hid Moses in the cleft of the rock (open space in the mountain) to protect him from seeing God’s face and being struck dead by the glory of God.
()
You (Moses) cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live… 21 Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock.
22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by.
()
You (Moses) cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live… 21 Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock.
22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by.
()
This hiding in the cleft of the rock was a type of salvation through the cross.
The cleft of the rock speaks of the “wounds” in Jesus’ side that He received on the cross.
We hide from the judgment
of God in the cleft of the rock or in the atoning death of Jesus.
Jesus wants to see our face and hear our voice in worship and prayer as we cry for help in our weakness.
We tell Jesus that we love Him without fearing that we are hypocrites in the process.
Some think that when they struggle with sin that their voice is repulsive to God and their face is ugly to Him.
God wants us to run to Him in confidence, instead of from Him in condemnation.
Let Me see your face, let Me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
)
)
Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your form is lovely.”
This very matter of the cross gives satisfaction to the Lord.
In the first section there is consecration, and there is the willingness to follow the Lord and bear the cross.
Now He wants to go on to put the seal of the cross upon the seeker.
The countenance is what man sees, and the voice is what man hears.
Both the countenance and voice should only be found in the clefts of the rock and the secret places of the stairs.
The emphasis here is on oneness (union) with the cross.
Now the cross of Christ has become her cross.
Let me see you
Let me hear
I enjoy the reality of who you are.
I enjoy your voice even if you can sing.
Who is saying this?
Either is a good answer
The maiden cannot deal with the small problems (the little foxes) alone; nor can they be dealt with by the King alone.
song 2:16-17
They have to be dealt with through the cooperation of the maiden and the King.
There is a children’s story called, “There is no such thing as dragon,” It’s very interesting.
You might have read it, I never did.
There’s this little boy, Billie Bixbee.
One day a dragon the size of a kitten was in his room, it was a small dragon.
He went down stairs to tell his mother she responded, “there’s no such thing as dragons.”
This is the theme of the story.
Both Billy and his mom ignored the dragon, of course because, “there’s no such thing as dragons.”
The dragon grow and grow, so big that it filled the house.
The dragon ran down the street chasing a bread truck.
Taking the whole house with him, “like a shell 🐚 on a snail 🐌.”
The dad comes home to find his house missing.
When he finds it he climb over the dragon into the house.
He sees his family and he asks, “how did this happen?”
Billy said, “it was the dragon.”
Mamma says, “there’s no such thing...” Billy stopped her and said, “there is a dragon!🐉 a very big dragon“ the dragon wagged it tail happily and return to kitten size again.
The mother then asked, “why did it have to grow so big?” BIlly response was quite wise, “I think it wanted to be noticed.”
Ive been thinking of this story the last couple of days.
Lies like dragon are NOT real, but often appear to seek attention.
When the desire is not met.
They grows and grows and grows till they consumes and control everything.
Small lies turn into BIG lies.
One philosopher says, “chaos emerges in a house, BIT BY BIT.
Unconfronted and ignored.
The question becomes, what will you do about the dragons in your life?
Will you fear them?
