Not in Winter...

What has always astounded me is that Christian publishers would never allow me to write some of the things that we find in the Song of Songs!   The Song of Solomon is a love story. Scholars will tell you it's a love story between King Solomon and one of his wives, but if you dig a little deeper, you will find that it is so much more!

Let me give you the cast of characters

The Shulamite (Gentile ) Girl…………………The Bride-to-be  (The True Church of Jesus)
The King................…………………………...The Bridegroom-to-be  (Jesus)
The Daughters of Jerusalem…………………..Israel

The Shulamite is a gentile girl whom the King has fallen in love with.

In Chapter 1, they exchange loving and flattering words to each other and express their desire to be with one another. This is the courtship phase.

In Chapter 2:10-13, The King beckons the woman to come away with Him

My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.
For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away!

Please take note of the time of year that the King is calling His Bride Home.  Spring!!  Also take note of the reference to the Fig Tree, which we know represents Israel and the time frame in which Jesus tells us in Matthew 24:32 that He is coming to take us home!. Also note that the King doesn't come down to where the Bride is, but rather asks her to Rise up.  These are all references to the Rapture and give us a clear picture as to the timing. In Spring and in the Fig Tree Generation!
