The Bride’s Song of God’s Beauty
My Revelation on the Island of Patmos: Part 3b of 5
I LOVE this Song! The Lord used it to save me.
The Shulamite represents the Bride of Messiah. The Bride describes 16 attributes of her Beloved God in Song of Songs 5:10-16 depicting why she is lovesick for Him in a time of crisis.
Are you suffering or facing difficulty? In your weakness, worship.
You will ravish Yeshua’s heart, and He will say to you, “Turn your eyes away from Me for they have overcome Me,” Song of Songs 6:5.
I have used other Scriptures to interpret the poetry in Song of Songs.
Prayers based on Scriptural interpretation have been written to help give you understanding of each attribute of God. Enjoy!
Holy
“My Beloved is white"
Love of my life, Holy One lifted high You are dazzling light enthroned on the praises of Israel. Creatures flying, seraphim dancing, thunder resounding, multitudes singing, elders falling retaining no glory. All are crying, “Holy! Holy! Holy!”
(Isa. 6, Rev. 4 & 5, Ps. 22:3, I John 1:5, Ps. 139:11-12, I Cor. 13:4-8)
Ardent Love
“My Beloved is…ruddy (red)”
Gazing into the window of Your soul through Your eyes like unquenchable, vehement flames, I see zealous love that consumes You.
You are Yah, the everlasting burning, the flame of love. I am my Beloved God’s and His desire is for me.
(Song of Songs 7:10 & 8:6-7, Rev. 1:14, Deut. 4:24, Isa. 33:14)
Incomparable Superiority
“Chief among ten thousand”
Beloved, You came in the likeness of men, setting aside Your garments of light and putting on garments of flesh and blood.
You did not seek honor for Your noble sacrifice. You served, humbled Yourself unto death and were broken for all. Your humility has exalted You to the highest places.
(Phil. 2:5-11, Isa. 53, John 8:56-58)
Priceless Thoughts & Sovereign Leader
“His head is like the finest gold”
Beautiful One, You have a veil of mercy over Your mind as You think and process what You hear. Whatever is true, honorable, lovely, pure, of good report and just, You think on these things.
All I want to do is sit at Your feet and hear Your refined thoughts of wisdom and divine insight. I trust Your leadership in my life!
(Heb. 4:16, II Sam. 24:14, Luke 6:36, Phli. 4:8, Luke 10:38+, Isa. 26:3-4)
Covenant God
“His locks (hair) are wavy, and black as a raven”
You display Your eternal consecration to me with Your wavy locks as the Nazarites vowed to not cut their hair as a sign of their consecration unto You.
An everlasting covenant sealed in Your own blood cries out that You are a Bridegroom God in love with Your creation. I am Yours Yeshua.
(Num. 6, Judges 13, I Sam. 1:11, Luke 22:14-20, John 3:29, Rev. 19:7)
Steady, Peaceful Gaze
“His eyes are like doves by the rivers of waters washed with milk, and fitly set.”
Like the dove, You do not look to the left or to the right. You are gazing at me even when You are not answering. Oh Shepherd of my soul, guide me with Your Spirit-filled, peaceful eyes of love.
(II Chron. 16:9, Luke 3:22, Psalm 23, Psalm 32:8)
Passionate Emotions
“His cheeks are like a bed of spices, banks of scented herbs”
Oh that You would cause the beaming smile on Your face to shine upon me! Let me see Your “emojis” Yeshua. :D
Let me admire Your expressions, feel Your emotions and know Your zeal for me my beautiful God.
(Psalm 45:7, Num. 6:25, Isa. 62:4-5, Zech 8:2, Jer. 31:3, Matt. 9:36)
Pure Speech
“His lips are lilies dripping liquid myrrh (burial spice)”
With lips like lilies, Your speech is pure and kind. You are the nicest One I know.
There is grace upon Your lips that grants mercy and righteousness.
You declare Your love as strong as death, and as the living Word of God, everything You say is truth.
(Psalm 45:2, John 1, John 14:6, Song of Songs 8:6-7)
