“By night on my bed I sought him whome my soule loueth. I sought him,
but I found him not”
(Song.3:1)
We are shown how Church of the first born in the Tabernacle of heaven is
anxiously awaiting the Messenger sent by her for her “yongest brother”
(Gen.42:15-16). The Scripture compares their spiritual unity with
marital intimacy and speaks of their joint future ministry - the beloved
seeks on her bed the one whom her soul loves. The place that a husband
should take on this bed is empty. In this verse, we are shown the time
on the eve of significant changes in the Church, because this man,
ascending his throne, will begin an active building of the house of God.
“I will rise now, and goe about the citie in the streets, and in the
broad wayes I will seeke him whom my soule loueth: I sought him, but I
found him not”
(Song.3:2)
The Evangelist, going about “the citie in the streets”, in the
wide gates and broad way (Matt.7:13), will come “not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke.5:32). He, preaching the
word, rebuking, reproaching and exhorting “with all long suffering &
doctrine” (2Tim.4:2), will open the eyes of many blind (Is.42:7).
The “Pharises and Scribes” will murmur at him “saying, This
man receiueth sinners, and eateth with them” (Luke.15:2). But joy
“shall be in heauen ouer one sinner that repenteth, more then ouer
ninety and nine iust persons” who do not see the need for repentance
(Luke.15:7).
The phrase, “I sought him, but I found him not” is repeated
twice. The Evangelist is nowhere to be found. He will become hated in
this world and will be executed. His grave will be “with the wicked”
(Is.53:9). But by the hand of God, he will be pulled out of the depths
of the grave and raised up “into a loft” (1Kings.17:19). The
resurrection of the Evangelist is mentioned in the book of Genesis, in
the book of the Acts of the Apostles, in the book of 1 Kings and in the
three Gospels.
“¶ Then Pharaoh sent and called Ioseph...”
(Gen.41:14)
“And Paul went downe, and fell on him, and embracing him, saide, Trouble
not your selues, for his life is in him”
(Acts.20:10)
The Evangelist will be resurrected by the holy Ghost. It is said:
“and fell on him, and embracing him” (Acts.20:10). Compare it with
the verse (Song.2:6).
“The watchmen that goe about the citie, found me: to whom I said, Saw ye
him whom my soule loueth?”
(Song.3:3)
In those days there will be a great persecution of the Church. Having
killed the faithful Martyr (Rev.2:13), these “watchmen” will start
looking for people who love the Word of God, preach His Kingdom and
testify about the resurrected Evangelist (Rev.6:9). This verse shows the
way Christians will go. A bold confession of faith in front of people in
authority shows us that they will openly preach the Word of God. They
will not renounce their faith - those who are persecuted to death will
be raptured up “vnto God, and to his Throne” (Rev.12:5).
In the heavenly Tabernacle, a voice will be heard, weeping, and sobbing,
and great mourning: “In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation,
and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and
would not be comforted, because they are not” (Matt.2:18).
“It was but a litle that I passed from them, but I found him whome my
soule loueth: I helde him, and would not let him goe, vntill I had
brought him into my mothers house, and into the chamber of her that
conceiued me”
(Song.3:4)
In the book of Acts of the Apostles, we are shown the ministry of
Christians after the resurrected Evangelist accepts the promise of the
holy Ghost from God (Acts.2:33). This will happen in the Jubilee year
2050. A person who, for the sake of gaining of Jesus Christ, leaves the
customs of the world, will be filled, like an empty vessel, with the
holy Ghost. It is said about him: he is the one “whome my soule
loueth”. Any person who is filled with the holy Ghost (conceived)
can no longer be abducted from the hand of God. It is said: “I helde
him, and would not let him goe, vntill I had brought him into my mothers
house”. In this verse we are shown the rapture of the soul of a men
who, fighting by the word of their Testimony, did not love his life to
death (Rev.12:11). The soul of a Christian, after it “passed”,
will immediately be brought to the heavenly Tabernacle. “Reapers” who
kill the body cannot kill the soul (Matt.10:28).
There will be many people who perished during the harvest period, but
this does not mean that all these souls will be brought to the heavenly
Tabernacle. Only those “ears” will be collected in it, which “Ruth the
Moabitesse” will pick up in the field “after the reapers”
(Ruth.2:3).
What does “my mothers house” and the chamber of “of her that
conceiued me” mean?
The body of the Lord Jesus Christ will be made up of a host of living
“stones”, which are divided into three groups according to their
importance: called, & chosen, and faithfull. The Scripture
compares faithful to a woman clothed with the Sun, who, being
with childe, cries out from the pains and pangs of birth (Rev.12:1,2).
As well, he compares them to Mary, who, after being espoused to Joseph
(the Evangelist), “was found with childe of the holy Ghost”
(Matt.1:18). Therefore, in the verse (Song.3:4), the heavenly Tabernacle
is called the house of the mother, and its first compartment, in which
chosen will be conceived, is called the chamber. Each of them, at
the appointed time, will be brought to the heavenly Tabernacle.
Gathering them is compared to harvesting the ears during the wheat
harvest. Until the end of this harvest, Church of the first born will
pick up ears “in the field after the reapers” (Ruth.2:3). John in
the heavenly Tabernacle saw the gathered “ears”, he saw “vnder the
altar, the soules of them that were slaine for the word of God, and for
the testimony which they held” (Rev.6:9).
The process of “conseiving” is shown to us in the 4th chapter of the
book of 2 Kings. The poor widow had a wonder source of oil. Elisha told
her to lock the door behind her and fill the empty vessels taken abroad.
The sons “brought the vessels to her, and shee powred out”
(2Kings.4:5). Many vessels were filled with oil in this way.
In this type we are shown the acceptance of the holy Ghost by believers.
This descent of the holy Ghost was predicted by the prophet Joel:
“And it shall come to passe in the last dayes (saith God) I will powre
out of my Spirit vpon all flesh” (Acts.2:17).
In this type, the sons of the widow are evangelists preaching the
Kingdom of God. Empty vessels - people who have just believed, which
were taken “abroad”. The widow who filled the vessels with oil is Church
of the first born in her “mothers house”.
“I charge you, O ye daughters of Ierusalem, by the Roes and by the
Hindes of the field, that ye stirre not vp, nor awake my loue, till he
please”
(Song.3:5)
In the epistles of the Apostle Paul to Timothy, we are shown the great
ministry of the Prophet, who will be going before the face of the Lord
to prepare ways to Him. In the last chapter, Scripture prophetically
says on behalf of the Evangelist: “For I am now readie to bee
offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I haue fought a good
fight, I haue finished my course, I haue kept the faith”
(2Tim.4:6,7).
The concluding words of the second epistle say that Timothy was made
“the first Bishop of the Church of the Ephesians”, and Paul, after
he “was brought before Nero the second time”, was executed.
Ҧ
The second Epistle vnto Timotheus, ordeined the first Bishop of the
Church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought
before Nero the second time.”
In these words, Scripture tells us about the execution of the
Evangelist, after he will be brought before the governor from prison for
the second time. It is said: “He was taken from prison, and from
iudgement” (Is.53:8). And when God raises him from the dead, he will
make him the High Priest. Type of this event is the condemnation of
Jesus Christ to be crucified. He was sentenced to death when He was
brought before Pilate for the second time (Luke 23).
In the sixth verse, Scripture asks us the question: “Who is this...?”
(Song.3:6). We are shown the resurrected Evangelist who has become the
Anointed of God. In the Jubilee year 2050, another High Priest will
arise up, now he will be from the tribe of Joseph, but he will be after
the order of Melchisedec.
Ҧ Who is this that commeth out of the wildernes like pillars of smoke,
perfumed with myrrhe and frankincense, with all powders of the
merchant?”
(Song.3:6)
Myrrh symbolizes his first ministry, when he will be ordeined “a
Prophet vnto the nations” (Jer.1:5). Frankincense symbolizes “an
vnchangeable Priesthood” (Heb.7:24).
The seventh chapter of the book “To the Hebrews” speaks of the greatness
of the two Anointed of the Lord. Since verse 15, Scripture speaks of the
Priesthood of Prince Michael.
“But this man because hee continueth euer, hath an vnchangeable
Priesthood.
Wherefore he is able also to saue them to the vttermost, that come vnto
God by him, seeing hee euer liueth to make intercession for them”
(Heb.7:23,24)
This man will not need to daily, “as those high Priests, to offer vp
sacrifice,” “for this he did once, when he offered vp himselfe”
(Heb.7:27).
God will deliver him “out of all his afflictions”, give him
strength and authority, grant him wisdom and favor, make him ruler over
“Egypt” and “all his house” (Acts.7:10). He will be entrusted
with the construction of this house. Joseph told his brothers: God
“hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house”
(Gen.45:8). He will be given a title and a new name - the Prince of life
(Acts.3:15). Scripture calls him: Prince Michael.
“Behold his bed, which is Solomons: threescore valiant men are about it,
of the valiant of Israel”
(Song.3:7)
We are shown the ministry of Prince Michael among the firstborns in the
heavenly Tabernacle. If we add the required number of zeros to the
number “threescore”, then we get the real number of “valiant
men” in the heavenly Tabernacle. In the sixth verse they are shown
to us as “pillars of smoke”. The time will come when these
pillars becomes the pillars (foundation) of the future structure - the
Temple not made with hands. In the new Jerusalem (a type of the Temple
not made with hands), these pillars are foundations of “the wall of
the citie” (Rev.21:14).
We are shown valiant men in the Tabernacle of heaven, devoid of flesh
and blood. Scripture, comparing them to pillars of smoke, shows us that
they are spirits, which have image of a body. The smoke that we see but
cannot touch is best suited for this type. For example, God is shown to
us as “a great cloude, and a fire infoulding it selfe, and a
brightnesse was about it” (Ezek.1:4).
The imprisonment of Joseph in prison, where everything was given into
his hands, and he, having become the initiator of all ideas, was
successful, is a prototype of the joint ministry of Prince Michael and
Church of the first born. It is said: “The keeper of the prison
looked not to any thing, that was vnder his hand” (Gen.39:23). The
imprisoned “þe kings prisoners” (Gen.39:20) is a type of the
firstborns in the Tabernacle of heaven.
“And the keeper of the prison committed to Iosephs hand all the
prisoners that were in the prison, and whatsoeuer they did there, he was
the doer of it”
(Gen.39:22)
God is shown to us in the type of the keeper of the prison. The rise of
Joseph by Pharaoh and his wise rule “ouer all the land of Egypt”
(Gen.41:43) is another type of the ministry of Prince Michael. If in the
first prototype we were shown the leading role of Prince Michael in the
heavenly Tabernacle (High Priest), then in the second prototype
(Joseph’s reign over all Egypt) we are shown his leading role on earth
during the harvest (Lord). God is shown to us in the form of Pharaoh.
Pharaoh said to Joseph:
“Thou shalt be ouer my house, and according vnto thy word shall all my
people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater then thou”
(Gen.41:40)
In the second chapter of the book of Acts of the Apostles, we are shown
the events that will take place on earth in the Jubilee year 2050, this
is “the acceptable yeere of the Lord” (Luke.4:19). On the day the
Evangelist is anointed, the holy Ghost will be poured out on the
Apostles whom he chooses (Acts.1:2). Scripture, in the words of Peter,
says to all amazed and perplexed people: “God has made that same
Evangelist, “whom ye haue crucified, both Lord and Christ”
(Acts.2:36)
“For Dauid is not ascended into the heauens, but he saith himselfe, The
Lord said vnto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand”
(Acts.2:34)
Indeed, “Dauid is not ascended into the heauens”; the resurrected
Evangelist will enter into heaven. He will be given power “in heauen
and in earth” (Matt.28:18).
Saying about the ministry of Jesus Christ, Scripture reveals the
Evangelist to us. Their ministries are so similar that people, even
knowing about the Evangelist, in the Scriptures would hardly distinguish
them. No wonder the Scripture in the sixth verse, showing the Anointed
of God, asks us the question: “¶ Who is this ...?” (Song.3:6).
The daughter of Poti-pherah, the Priest of On, given to Joseph as a
wife, is a type of Church of the first born (Gen.41:50). The second
chariot (Gen.41:43), on which Joseph rode, is another type of the bed,
“which is Solomons” (Song.3:7).
Prince Michael will appoint Elders in every cities (Tit.1:5) and will
distribute “that bread of life” (John.6:48). He will gather a
great multitude of people dressed in white robes (Rev.7:9) at the throne
of God, just as Joseph, opening the storehouses and selling grain,
acquired servants for Pharaoh.
When Joseph gathered grain in the years of great abundance, after some
time he stopped counting it.
“And Ioseph gathered corne as the sand of the sea, very much, vntill he
left numbring: for it was without number”
(Gen.41:49)
We are shown one feature of the Word of God - the number of all types of
Scripture is incalculable, there are countless numbers of them.
In the verse (Song.3:6), we are shown the resurrected Evangelist, who
has collected spiritual food, which is innumerable, in all cities. It is
indicated by the phrase: “all powders of the merchant”. Powders
of the merchant are the same type as full grain storehouses. The word
powder is used in the sense of phraseological unit: “as the sand of
the sea”. It is impossible to count all the grains of sea sand and
all the particles of powders of the merchant.
The entire harvest time will be divided into two periods - until 2050
and after it. In the years of “great abundance” the Evangelist will
gather “food” in all cities. In 2050 there will a famine come in “all
the land” (Gen.41:54); there will be a famine “of hearing the
words of the Lord”.
Ҧ Behold, the daies come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine
in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of
hearing the words of the Lord”
(Amos.8:11)
The firstborns, having received lessons on the eve of mastering a
double-edged sword (Eph.6:17), will become the most experienced warriors
in war.
“They all hold swords, being expert in warre: Euery man hath his sword
vpon his thigh, because of feare in the night”
(Song.3:8)
The phrase: “because of feare in the night” - says that the war
with the devil and his angels continues.
So, the first three verses of the paragraph show us the greatness of
Prince Michael, who will become the ruler over the whole earth in the
Jubilee year. The other three verses show Jesus Christ will be made
perfect on the DAY of Pentecost. The chariot of King Solomon is another
type of the Lord Jesus Christ “in the day of his espousals”.
“King Solomon made himselfe a charet of the wood of Lebanon”
(Song.3:9)
We are shown the greatest event in the history of mankind - the marriage
(Rev.19:7) and the reign of the Lord Jesus Christ. He will become “an
high Priest after the order of Melchisedec” (Heb.5:9,10).
On the DAY of Pentecost the seventh Angel will sound the trumpet, and
the bridegroom will go out “the bridegroome goe forth of his chamber,
and the bride out of her closet” (Joel.2:16). Jesus Christ, uniting
with called, & chosen, and faithfull, will become one with them, as a
single organism. This Greatness is shown to us in the vision of Ezekiel
(Ezekiel.1), in the vision of Daniel (Dan.10:6), in the vision of John
(Rev.10:1), and in the vision of Elisha (2Kings.2:11).
This is the time when the kingdoms of this world will become the
kingdoms of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Anointed One of God, “and
he shall reigne for euer and euer” (Rev.11:15).
Loud voices will be heard in the heaven, and the people who remain on
earth will see the sign in the sky. They will “see the Sonne of man
comming in the cloudes, with great power and glory” (Mark.13:26).
The cover of purple (red-violet) is a symbol of royal power.
The “bed of Solomon” (palanquin) loses to the “chariot of king Solomon”
in its imperfection. This is understandable, the joint ministry of
Prince Michael and Church of the first born is limited in time, and it
is auxiliary.
“Now King Dauid was olde”,
he was constantly cold and he could not keep warm. The king’s servants
decided to find for him a young virgin who would warm him with the
warmth of her body, lying on his chest, on his bed. And they found and
brought her to the king. But, despite such a degree of closeness between
them, the king knew her not (1Kings.1:1-4)
“And the damosell was very faire, and cherished the king, and ministred
to him: but the king knew her not”
(1Kings.1:4)
In this prototype, we are shown the spiritual unity of Prince Michael
and the Church of the firstborn without being united into one body -
there was no conjugal relationship between Avisaga and King David.
Joseph did also not know his wife, “till shee had brought forth her
first borne sonne”. He, “being raised from sleepe” and we
already know what this dream means, “did as the Angel of the Lord had
bidden him, & tooke vnto him his wife: And knewe her not, till shee had
brought forth her first borne sonne, and he called his name Iesus”
(Matt.1:24,25). Joseph and Mary is another prototype of Prince Michael
and Church of the first born.
“He made the pillars thereof of siluer, the bottome thereof of gold, the
couering of it, of purple; the midst thereof being paued with loue, for
the daughters of Ierusalem”
(Song.3:10)
Jesus Christ, having become perfect, will become the author of eternal
salvation. The tree in this chariot denotes those who are called, silver
-- chosen, gold -- faithful.
In that hour, 70 weeks will be fulfilled, which were determined to the
people of Israel. In an instant, their transgression will be finished,
there will be made an ende of sinnes, and their iniquities will be
reconciled (Dan.9:24). The “daughter of Zion” will be forgiven,
just as the woman caught in adultery was forgiven (John.8:3-11). The
Lord God will pour up the spirit of grace and of supplications into
every vessel “to the brimme” (John.2:7) in the house of David. It
is said: “the midst thereof being paued with loue, for the daughters
of Ierusalem” (Song.3:10).
In other types, the faithful are shown to us in the form of four living
beings. John saw “in the middest of the throne, and round about the
Throne, were foure beastes full of eyes before and behinde”
(Rev.4:6). Ezekiel also saw four living creatures, over whose heads
there was a vault and the likeness of a Throne (Ezek.1:26). Chosen and
called in this vision are shown to us in the form of wheels, the rims of
which were also full of eyes around them.
The heaven chariot is shown to us in the first chapter of the book of
Genesis in the image of a man, created in the image and likeness of God.
The body of a man is faithful, his limbs are chosen and called. The body
and limbs are the Church (the body of Christ), the head of a person is
the Throne of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the books of the New Testament, the heavenly chariot is shown to us
in the form of a man. His body is a prototype of the firstborns
(faithful), his limbs are a prototype of chosen and called. The body of
Christ (body and limbs) is a prototype of the Church, it will grow,
edifying of “it self in love” (Eph.4:16), through the sacrificial
service of each of its cells. The human head is a type of the Throne of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
“Goe foorth, O yee daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the
Crowne wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and
in the day of the gladnesse of his heart”
(Song.3:11)
Scripture addresses the remnant of the people of Israel: “Come out, and
meet the Lord Jesus Christ.”
We are shown a mother who crowns her son in the day of his espousals .
This is a prototype of the sacrament of the union of Christ and the
Church through the action of the holy Ghost. The Scripture compares this
sacrament with a rite that is understandable for everyone - marriage.
The birth of the Son of God occurs in two stages. He, who “is in the
bosome of the Father” (John.1:18), is revealed to shine on the earth
(Gen.1:16-18). His physical birth from a virgin was only doing himselfe
of no reputation and tooking upon him the forme of a servant
(Phil.2:7,8). And now, thanks to the future ministry of the second Moses
(Heb.3:1-4), He will be born of a mother - of the holy Ghost. At the
onset of the DAY of Pentecost, “the mysterie of God should be
finished” (Rev.10:7). Christ and the Church will become one through
the action of the holy Ghost. God will say: “Thou art my sonne, this
day haue I begotten thee” (Ps.2:7). This will be the Day of the
gladnesse of his heart. Scripture shows us the great joy of the whole
city through type:
“And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast, the
same day that Isaac was weaned”
(Gen.21:8)
At this stage, the construction of the house of God will be completed,
and the construction of the Temple not made with hands will continue.
Why are Prince Michael (Song.3:6) and the Lord Jesus Christ behind him
(Song.8:5) shown to us coming up from the “area”, which is characterized
as the wilderness? The Scripture word wilderness denotes Heaven and
Earth outside of our Universe. This space is called a wilderness because
of the small number of its inhabitants. Scripture tells us about the
number of inhabitants of new Jerusalem after the DAY of Pentecost:
“Now the city was large and great, but the people were few therein, and
the houses were not builded” (Neh.7:4). In eternity, Heaven and
Earth will be filled with life, and they will be filling continuously
(Gen.1:28).
P.S. A rabbi who lived in the 10th century compared the book of The Song
of Solomon with a lock, the key of which is lost and now, we are not
able to open it. But this is not the whole truth. If a person does not
trust the Word of God, then for him the key to the whole Scripture is
lost! For the entire Christian world, Scripture is a lock, but there is
no key to it. And only a person who trusts the Scriptures receives this
key.
