fair oh you can bring them in or I don't know maybe Lisa can record it or something okay Song of Solomon 8 let's go ahead and read it through New King James here we go verse one oh that you were like my brother who nursed at my mother's breast if I should find you outside I would kiss you I would not be despised I would lead you and bring you into the house of my mother she who used to instruct me I would cause you to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate his left hand is under my head and his right hand Embraces me I charge you oh Daughters of Jerusalem do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases who is this coming up from the wilderness leaning upon her beloved I awakened You Under The Apple Tree there your mother brought you forth there she Who Bore You Brought You forth verse six set me as a seal upon your heart as a seal upon your arm for love is as strong as death jealousy is cruel as the grave its Flames are flames of fire a most vehement flame many Waters cannot quench love nor can the floods drown it if a man would give for love all the wealth of his house house it would be utterly despised we have a little sister and she has no breast what shall we do for our sister in the day when she has spoken for if she is a wall we will build upon her a Battlement of silver and if she is a door we will enclose her with Boards of Cedar I am a wall and my breast like Towers then I became in his eye in his eyes as one who found peace Solomon had a Vineyard at B hamon he leased The Vineyard to Keepers everyone was to to bring for its fruit a thousand silver coins my own Vineyard is before me you oh Solomon may have a thousand and those who tend its fruit 200 you who dwell in the gardens the companions listen for your voice let me hear it make haste my beloved and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices powerful beautiful so here we are we're coming to the conclusion of the Journey of the bride and this is the conclusion of becoming mature in love and this is where our journey with the Lord takes us but it's also the whole time this is speaking of the church and where the church is going to going to grow to before the Lord returns so just have those two emblems in your mind it's it's the it's the individual journey of the heart to maturity and love it's that for sure and it's this broad picture of where the the church is going to come to mature love how she's going to come to mature love before the Lord returns so he's speaking on both those levels with the emblems here so uh verse one oh that you are like my brother nurse of my mother's breast if if I should find you outside I'd kiss you I I would not be despised so what she's describing is a heart that's full fully um overwhelmed in love remember we we ended chapter 7 with this maturity in love and she says let's go to the fields and she said the mandres are in bloom the love flowers are in bloom everything is love it's all exploding in love and so she kind of continues that theme in verse one and she says oh that you were like my brother and and so for us we go that's odd why would she want to like back it down a notch from being betrothed to being with her brother and and she makes this distinction not not a brother that maybe has a different mom but a brother that's actually of my own that would nurse at my own my own Mother's breast and the point she's making is this so in the ancient world betroth a betrothed couple was not allowed to hold hands in public it was seen as really not okay like it was a cultural thing that seemed like um that would be improper it lacked prety and so what she's saying is if you were like my brother uh that was from my very own mother then when whenever I saw you in the public I could kiss you I would not be thought of negatively I wouldn't be thought down upon I wouldn't be despised and and so it's a really interesting thing she's saying I want to show you and show the world all the depths of my love and my desire for you I want want to express all that's in my heart for you everywhere we go I I I want to I want to let it all hang out everywhere we go and um and she says but it's it's there's a certain impropriety to that and this brings us to this interesting concept so in our walk with the Lord When We're Young we tend to sort of say everything that's God is doing to us to everyone one all the time we tell all the stories all the testimonies I had a prayer time and man I got chills on the back of my neck three of them right there it was amazing and and we tell all these details and what she's come to is realizing that some of the details of her intimacy with him it's not for public consumption it's actually just for she and she and him and he and her and and so this is a really important concept for us as we're growing in the Lord that there's times where God encounters us in a deeply personal way and he's actually not doing that so that we'll tell others about it he's he's encountering us in a deeply personal way because it's it's intimate it's between us and him I don't tell the world everything between my wife and I um I say some things to help you know encourage and instruct and and and to actually have a reality check from time to time but what she what she's explaining is that there are certain things that are proper to share certain things that are improper to share and um and she's actually describing this interesting thing that Paul talks about when he was addressing the Corinthian Church he literally says there's certain Liberty that I have with you but I it's not for everyone to see and so be because of that I'm going to go ahead and submit my Liberty to what's helpful and Paul literally says this to the whole Corinthian Church he says if you guys uh H are all praying in tongues at all the time and that's all you're doing and no one's ever addressing uh you know the people in a known language when an uninformed person comes in they're going to think you're crazy and so he describes having a measure of restraint about us um so that we can be uh accessible for those that don't know the Lord and that are uninformed and so it's a really powerful principle that when it's emplo employed properly it helps others actually come to know the Lord instead of turning them away and so that's what she's describing in verse one she says I would lead you and bring you into the house of my mother all right now we're just going to put her thinking caps on the house of her mother what does that repres represent the church Paul explains that the Jerusalem above is our mother that the church is like our mother and that we so she says I want to lead you in this powerful place of intimacy that we have and I want to take everything that you're doing with me and I want that to happen for all the Believers I want the church to experience this everything that I've exper that's brought me to this place I want everyone to experience this and then she kind of underlines it she says she who used to instruct me I and so she's describing how growing in the Lord she was receiving so much from the Shepherds by The Shepherd's tents and now she's in this place where she's grown and she wants to actually help the other believers know the love of God and so she says I would I would take everything you've given me and I would I would share it with everyone else and I have a friend he tells a story and he explains how when he was a a young Pastor he's about he had about um 500 people in his church and and now he's got thousands and thousands but he had about 500 people in his church and and he tells the story how he was frustrated with the the house of his mother he was frustrated with the people in the church because they were taking him from this devotion that he was having with the Lord and He was saying Lord I want my my heart to be alive in love and the Lord corrected him and said it's not just about you and me it's about all those who will receive from me through you it's this both and and um and so he he he repented of his attitude about the church but the Lord spoke to him out of this verse and said leave lead me into the house of your mother lead everything I've done in your heart lead that in the church I want you to lead others into this this Encounter of intimacy and then she says I would cause you this is the Bri the bride uh the maiden speaking to the bridegroom I would cause you to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pom pomegranate she said I want you to have the richest experience of love from the church I want the church to love you the way that I love you and so this is the natural way it works when you grow in the revelation of love when you come to maturity in love you don't want to just keep it to yourself you want others to love him that way too you want others to know the love you've experienced and you want to introduce others to to know that love and to love him back and um in uh John John 17:24 Jesus literally says he prays to the father he says the very love that you have for me father I want you to put it into them put it into the heart of my bride and so the mature bride is partnering with that prayer of Jesus saying I want them to ex uh to experience your love and then to love you back that you would you would you would be able to drink of this spiced wine spiced wine was known as the richest wine in the day it it had different flavors and different ingredients it wasn't just like fermented uh you know grapes it had different things mixed into it to make it a a special and a rich drink and so she said I want you to have the richest experience of love from the church because what you've done in me has moved me and I'm so in love with you I want them to love you back and she says and I the juice of my pomeg all my emotions I want to show you all my emotions in that place in the church that's the juice of my pomegranate speaks of her emotional um outpouring of love to him all right so here's what we're going to do verse three and four do those phrases sound familiar first person that tell me where those phrases show up you're going to get a star a sticker we're going to give you a sticker it's close he said song Solomon 4 that's close okay okay okay here here yes verse yes six and seven okay good we give them both stickers half sticker each Song of Solomon 2 verse six and seven these exact phrases are repeated okay so it's interesting why would these phrases be repeated now we talked about um in the past when inclusion is used this I wouldn't see as an inclusion we got multiple chapters in between it's kind of it's I wouldn't say it's too much content but it's the content is vast and varied that is in between these this repetition so when we have rep repetition we're getting repetition for um increased emphasis right when you see something twice or three times in the scripture it's an increased emphasis on that it's making a big point but what we have here is in chapter two is she is she mature or is she immature in her love immature in chapter8 is she mature or immature mature sure and eight so here's what we have in chapter two we get the perspective from the immature and by chapter eight we're getting the perspective from the mature and and so here's what's going on whereas in chapter two remember she only saw things as her relationship with him as a means to her own you know benefit and her own comfort and her own pleasure she didn't see that it was about him ultimately and so she says it his left hand is under my head and his right hand Embraces me and and then uh this I charge you Daughters of Jerusalem do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases it's like I'm going to stay in his Embrace forever that's what like in chapter two that's kind of her mentality I'm in his Embrace this is the way it goes don't wake me up you know here I am I'm Lovick I get to it's cakes and raisins under the shade tree that's what we do that's all she can see in Chapter 2 by chapter eight remember now she's partnering with him at the end of seven She Goes let's go to the field she's she's saying back to him the thing he invited to her to in chapter two and then in the beginning of eight now she's saying let's go into the house of my mother let me let me Express this to the church let's bring everybody into this love sick reality with you and now what's interesting is in this place of mature love and Ministry she says it's only your perfect leadership that's brought me here your left hand the stuff I could not see the the ways that you moved in my life and I had no idea that it was you doing it your left hand was behind my head I couldn't see it you were directing me all along even through the time of discipline even through the dark night even through the persecution at the hand of the other Saints she say I see it clearly now I see it clearly now you led me even when I didn't know and then she says and your right hand is embracing me you you have powerfully held me close and it's been your love and your wisdom and your leadership that's brought me to this moment and then here's an interesting thought in addition if his left hand is under her head which it is what position are they in they're laying down so she is reclining and resting in his love that's the idea she's resting in his love fully confident in love and this is a big Point big big Point she is mature in love She's partnering with with him she's sharing his love with the church she's winning the lost and she's in a season of rest she's moving from incredible focus and outpouring of love and Ministry and then back into rest Ministry and into rest she's not she's not like just okay I got the love thing now I'm going to go just only on mountains and just go burn it all out no she's actually flowing back and forth in love and Ministry and rest and and she's living this life this this Balanced Life and so so often people think well I got the love thing down now next time I'm going to do the Demon's Deliverance in the devil class because we're going to go for it you know we're just going to move on from Love and that's not how it goes we stay alive in love we stay abiding in love John 15 Jesus says abide in my love and so she's flowing in maturity and she's abiding in love and she's in this place of rest and now when she when she's saying to the daughters don't awaken love until it pleases she's saying he knows exactly how to lead a human heart to the place that's going to bring the greatest return the greatest amount of pleasure to your life and to his he knows how to lead don't awaken in his process don't stop his process of love in a human life it's powerful because her perspective is radically shift shifted all right verse five and I just got to tell y'all the Lord was resting on me with verse 5 six and 7 today I just got stuck in verse 5 six and 7 and uh I don't know I spent a couple hours just in verse 56 seven today because it's just so precious and Powerful who is this now here's what we're going to get we're going to get the Holy Spirit commentator and it's going to switch to the voice of the bridegroom so the Holy Spirit he asked the question who is this coming up from the Wilderness leaning upon her beloved who is this so there's there's two other who is this is right in chapter three the first who is this is about him who is this coming up like pillars of smoke from from the Wilderness it's him he shows up as the safe savior the one that's overcome the trials and the challenges of this world remember out of that season of divine discipline he shows up so safe well the second one is chapter six it's about her who is is this that is clear as the S uh clear as the Moon bright as the sun awesome as an army with banners talking about her how she's Victorious and now the Holy Spirit he's breaking in and he's commenting and he's looking right at the mature bride and he's asking the Earth have you seen her who is this because she doesn't look anything like like what she used to look like she is so transformed she is so different that the holy spirit is he's literally saying it across the Nations have you seen this one who is this who is this and here's the thing it just it brings so on two levels I want to just I want to fill your heart with hope right now if you've ever been in the position when you look at the church of across the Earth and you go whoa we don't look so good we got issues we got problems you know we got lukewarmness and backsliding and oh man the church is in need like you know we how will we ever be a mature bride if you've ever come to that conclusion like man we are desperately in need this is a promise it's powerful that he's going to have a bride that is so transformed she will not look like the church from any other age she is going to be so mature in love so alive in love so moving in the love of God in the character of God she is going to be so different from the from the church in every other age good and bad components that it's it's right for the Holy Spirit to ask the Nations who is that take another look see who she is who is this so I'm I'm when I read when I was reading this today when I read this verse my heart is filled with hope because I know the church is going to be a pure and spotless bride the church is going to be so different so alive so mature so flowing in the character of God so vulnerable so openhearted so real moving in power moving in signs of Wonders moving in love the the church at the end of the age is going to be so stunning that by Revelation 19 when the bride shows up at the marriage that John the mature Apostle he is blown away by what she looks like to the extent that he falls at the feet of an Angel and starts worship worshiping he's not looking at the bridegroom he's looking at the bride and it evokes such a response from his heart he starts worshiping the first person he can find unfortunately was an angel and the angel literally rebukes him don't do that that's really illegal you know but I'm just telling you if your heart is ever been disappointed in the church in believers it's not and maybe there's been massive failings like I believe that's true I've seen it in my own life and I've seen it in the church in so many ways but here's the thing it's not going to stay that way the church is going to be so beautiful and and this here's the thing who is this this phrase leaning upon her beloved here's the deal she's irreg able you can't tell who she is in fact the two if you think about someone riding a horse this is kind of the picture that one is reclining on the other and the horse is coming up and and maybe coming out of the sunset and you see the silhouette okay it's a horse okay there's a rider on the horse okay is it is it one Rider or is it two Riders who is that are they two or are they one and here's the point she is so so reclined into him she is so relaxed into him she's so confident upon she's leaning on him you can't tell if it's two or if it's one you can't see where he ends and she begins this is where it's going who is this who is this this is John 17 a United bride with glory on her that's where this is going beloved a bride that's one just as just as Jesus and the father are one and they're one with Jesus and the father and they're one with one another and the the Holy Spirit goes who is this she's leaning she's not strutting you know Jacob after he wrestled all night with the angel he had a limp the bride coming out of the trials of this age is going to be a leaning bride she's not going to be strutting like a peacock and pounding her chest she's going to be leaning on the Beloved and it's in that place of voluntary weakness this is 2 Corinthians 1210 it's in that place of voluntary weakness in our weakness his strength is made perfect and so in her maturity she's completely aware of her weakness she's leaning on him not strutting not running ahead and she's empowered she looks just like him it's beautiful who is this coming up from the Wilderness the Wilderness of this age the Wilderness of Trials and temptations the Wilderness of of of persecution and difficulty in this life she's going to come out leaning it's beautiful well that's the global picture here's the narrow picture have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and said this of yourself I should be better than this I should know better I should have done more I should be more mature I should this and that and the other let me tell you something he's not saying that over you he knows exactly where he's taking you he's taking to leaning and half of his work in our lives is to get us to quit strutting and to get us real comfortable with leaning lean he's he literally is just inviting us over and over and over lean on me my beloved rest in my arms my beloved don't run your own way don't don't do this under your own strength rest in my arms and I would just tell you he knows the plans he has for you he knows the journey all the days he's written for you he knows the Myriad ups and downs the difficulties we've talked about this a lot in this class but his point is to get you to this place where you're leaning and the same thing that the holy spirit is going to say over the church at the end of the age the holy spirit is going to say over you who is this who is this you look so different you look so secure all that fear is gone all that anxiety is burned off who is this oh you're leaning on him now you look just like him and this is the journey in love this is where he's taking you and where he's taking me to learn to lean that's a great prayer to pray Lord teach me to lean teach me to lean on you I don't want to strut In My Own Strength I don't want to run ahead like the horse I want to lean on you who is this leaning upon her beloved now the bridegroom breaks in I awakened you he goes remember chapter two again I awakened You Under The Apple Tree and so he's reminding her of her journey because he wants her to see where she came from I've experienced this in my life there's little Times Holy Spirit Will nudge me and he'll remind me of a Time 5 years earlier 10 years earlier 20 years earlier where I was presented with almost the same set of circumstances but my response was way different and he'll go remember back then and that whole situation and how you acted and now look at you who are you and he'll encourage my own heart by reminding me where I came from he says I awakened You Under The Apple Tree you remember that he go there you were you were born brought forth by your mother she bore you brought you forth he goes that was an Awakening your heart and in her life it's kind of like a Salvation and slash rededication experience it's kind of like that's what she was going through he goes that's when that's when I first touched you in love and now he goes now look at where you've come uh look where you've come to look where you came from look what you've come to you're you're irreg oh man this is our destiny beloved to be mature in love to be confident in love to be so affirmed in love that we just live our lives leaning on him who is this coming up the Wilderness leaning on upon her beloved nny says this oh verse six verse six it's the bomb of the book he goes set me set me as a seal on your heart I want you to catch this she starts off her whole journey let him kiss me the kisses of his word she and we've talked about the kisses of his word we've talked about how it's it's the revelation of God on the human heart the kisses of his word it's his it's his his life being imparted to us through understanding through light and Revelation in the word and the kiss of the word it's what we live for we continue to grow in in in the revelation of who he is let him kiss me with the kisses of his word and by chapter eight he says look I'm not just going to kiss you with the kisses of my word he goes he goes you want a kiss from my word he goes I want to put a fiery seal of Love on your heart goes this is where it's going when I think of that fiery seal there's so many components to it he go set me as a seal upon your heart as a seal upon your arm he says this is the flames it's it's Flames or flames of fire the most vehement flame The New American Standard is actually translated the very flame of jaah or Jehovah this was a shocker to me when I first got this I can remember when I this first hit me it was 2003 and I'm reading this verse and I go oh my goodness the love of God and the fire of God are the same thing thing the love of God and the fire of God are the same thing so in Deuteronomy when he says our God is a consuming fire a jealous God it's the love of God he at his very core he is a burning volcano of love that's what he is the very flame of God it it so it just begs the question every time we see fire in the scripture what are we talking about right now and so on on the day of Pentecost when they were all in one Accord in one place and the Holy Spirit was poured out and fire showed up and distributed itself and landed on every single person what was going on in that room they were all getting baptized in the power of God with the fire of God resting on them but what was that fir power baptism it was a bapt ISM in love they were getting overwhelmed they were getting dunked in love in the fire of his love so many times I separated the fire of God from the love of God I used to think fire you know you're passionate you're on fire you know you going after God you know just this striving straining thing fire and then I saw this verse and I go oh my goodness goodness goodness fire and love are the same thing there is no fire of God without the love of God I aced fire with power not with love and I'm telling you fire love power purifying all that stuff judgment it all burns from the same place the depths of our God he is a burning fire of love that's who he is and so when he says this set me on your heart like a seal it's a seal of fire on the heart and so it's it's evoking uh several images one is the ancient seal would be a wax seal seal and and Kings they would send documents and they would have to be sealed sometimes they would actually send an Envoy of a hundred soldiers to protect that seal and so the seal was something that was secured by the king it was guaranteed by the king and it's protected by the king so when he says set me on your heart as your protector as your as your standby as your safety put me on your heart like that he's he's describing how that's our safest place in his love and he says I don't want you just to have a kiss of Revelation I want you to have a lifetime of fire resting on your heart fully sealed fully secure fully set apart Sanctified in my love set me on your heart what's not a wax seal it's a fire seal so it's a love love seal but it's a protection seal it's a it's a judgment seal when the fire comes all the chaff gets burned up I can't read this without reading Revelation 3:20 they're they're the same idea on Revelation 3:20 goes I'm knocking at the door of your heart Song of Solomon 86 he goes put me on your heart he is the seal he is fire and when he seals our hearts all the chaff burns up and it's his fire on our heart that changes Us From the Inside Out it it sanctifies our appetites it changes our Ambitions it it it transforms us on the inside out we cannot overstate the necessity of the love of God burning in the heart of the redeemed it is the central thing that brings us to maturity and it's the the central thing that holds Us in that place so powerful he goes there is nothing that can penetrate the Seal of my love the fire of my love and I just want to throw this one in there for you when he tells Israel you're the apple of my eye Zechariah 2 goes I'll be the glory in your midst I'll be a wall of fire around you he goes I want to seal the entire nation he goes he goes Israel set me as a seal on you this is our portion beloved look your heart it will go through so many different ups and downs and Topsy turys and the entire time the Lord is saying you can trust me with your heart I will seal it with fire set me as a seal upon your heart as a seal on your arms sometimes they would wear an Insignia that would describe who they were he goes I want to cover your heart all your thoughts and your Ambitions all your motives everything that's pouring out from the inside of you he goes and your arm all your actions I want every action of your life to be by and for love I want every movement of your heart to be by and for love set me on your heart set me on your arm and he goes he's going to give a couple metaphors he goes love is as strong as death think that through humans what do they fear the most love is even stronger than it some translations say love is stronger than death When Death happens does love stop No Love Remains love is stronger than death jealousy as cruel or Relentless as the grave when somebody dies they stay dead he goes jealousy never stops I'm always jealous for you I mean I mean I just sit under these verses and it just gives me it just just breaks me down it just melts me he goes I always want you and I'm always jealous for you I always want your affections I always want your attention and if anybody is messing with you I am so jealous for you I'm like I can get I'll be your girl I I can get on with this you feel like that about me I'm in he goes jealousy is cruel as the grave love is strong as death he goes I want you that way and he says its Flames are flames of flames of fire a most vehement flame if you prefer the most vement flame translation over the very flame of God that's fine but the most vehement flame can't be more vehement than God who is fire so it's got to be God who is fire anyway do you see that how that works the most vehement flame is our God who is a cons consuming fire so depend it doesn't matter which translation you prefer it's still saying the love of God is fire and the most fiery fire and then he's going to say in verse 7 many Waters can't quench love many trials many difficulties it's Romans 8 I am persuaded neither life nor death height nor depth things present nor things to come Angels or demons or any other created thing can separate you from the love of God found in Christ Jesus because many Waters can't quench this he just hear him saying it over you do you have any idea how I feel about you do you have any idea how I feel about you nothing can stop the way I feel about you because floods can't drown it so picture A big flood and then how big does the fire have to be to keep burning in the middle of a flood many Waters can't burn this fire out can't douse this fire and a flood can't stop this fire he because if a man gave everything all the wealth of his house for love it would be utterly despised what's he saying he's describing this idea is a great analogy if uh if someone had a a sick family member and the the doctor said that they need an operation the operation is going to cost this much and they figure out how much it costs and then they look at everything they own and they realize oh man if I sold everything we can pay for the operation so they go no problem they sell it all they pay for the operation the family members healed and then somebody comes back around and goes oh man that was so Noble of you you sold everything so your family member could be healed the the the the person's not thinking I'm so Noble they're thinking I love this is the least I could do what are you talking about my house for my dearly beloved one if a man gave everything of for his house for love it would be utterly despised in other words you can't say that was so Noble that you gave all that away it's like it's nothing compared to love all right I got to do one two three four five six seven verses in about 60 seconds um give me five minutes so now she's going to transition and those verses man I just want to encourage you like take a week and just read those verses and read them from every angle this is what the bride at the end of the age is going to look like sealed with the fire of love living by love living for love every ambition love every action love leaning on her beloved moving in the beauty of Love moving in the fire of love all right verse eight so she says we have a little sister and she has no breast what shall we do for our sister in the day when she's spoken for so she's describing immature Believers in the church and she says what shall we do for our little sister and she's saying to the the the bridegroom what shall we do for our little sister and and the idea is for the day that she's spoken for in other words for the day of her wedding and what the the the question or it's an intercession really how can we get the rest of the church to come to maturity you see that for the day that she's spoken for how do we get her to come to maturity and so she moves from this place of burning fiery love into this place of intercession so the Lord's going to answer if she's a wall we will build a Battlement upon her a Battlement of silver if she's a door we will enclose her with Boards of Cedar so what is that what's that answer a wall is speaking about a certain kind of ministry and a door is speaking about a certain kind of ministry and he's talking about her giftedness if she's gifted to be a wall walls do what they protect and they give boundary So it's talking about like a pastoral shepherding Ministry if she's a wall what we're going to do is we're going to build that up in her we're going to build upon her a Battlement of silver a battlements a watchtower he goes we're going to serve that pastoral gift in her through intercession and if she is a door and what are doors they entries to this place or that place right they allow people in or out so an Evangelistic Ministry would be a door or a Teaching Ministry would be a door because teachers give entrance to the word evangelists give entrance to the gospel and if she's a if she's a door then we will enclose her we're going to we're going to protect that Ministry with Boards of Cedar and we're going to emphasize the cross in the teaching and in the evangelism remember the this the pinkin was built of Cedar it's the it's the cross all right verse 10 sounds like they're having the living flame of Love is in the lobby right now glory to God more Lord all right now she says I am a wall and my breasts are like Towers so she's saying I'm mature I'm nursing others I'm discipling others and I'm a protector she's describing her Ministry to the church and then she says this verse 10 she says I I became as one who found peace in his eyes she's talking about this place that you come to when you're in what he's invited you to when you're confident in love she says I found peace in his eyes I'm at peace before him amen verse 11 Solomon had a Vineyard at b hamon b hamon's not referenced anywhere else in the scripture it is a it is a phrase that speaks of the the the Lord of everything the lord of the Nations Solomon has a Vineyard at B hamon which he leases out to tenant Farmers he's talking about this this idea that the the worldwide church is his Vineyard and it says everyone was for to bring for its its fruit a thousand silver coins and so what he's saying is this that the fruit of the Nations is mine I'm expecting to get a return from the fruit of the Nations the church across the Nations this is this is my Vineyard and I'm expecting to get a a return and then she answers and she says my own Vineyard she says is before me and you she goes you can have a thousand from my Vineyard she goes I realize that the vineyard of my heart which remember in chapter one she's completely burned out she tended everyone else's Vineyard but there was no fruitfulness out of her own now she says I realize this whole journey has been to bring my heart to fruitfulness in love and it's all for you have a thousand and anyone else that receives from me they can have 200 she goes I just want to be a blessing Lord to you and to your people I want to live this way and then he's going to say you dwell in the gardens he's speaking to her she's dwelling in the gardens you dwell in the gardens the companions listen for your voice he goes I want to hear it he's calling the bride who's in the Harvest he goes make intercession make intercession let me hear your voice and then she makes intercession verse 14 last verse
