that ye stir not up,

nor awake my love, -----------------till he please.

6 ---------------Who is this?

that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?

7 Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.

8 They all hold swords, being expert in war:

every man hath his sword

upon his thigh because of fear in the night.

9 King Solomon made

-------------------------------himself

a chariot F11 of the wood of Lebanon.

10 He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.

11 Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with

----------"THE CROWN WHEREWITH HIS MOTHER CROWNED HIM"---

in the day of his espousals,

and in the day of the gladness of his heart.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You know, the way I hear that above is not only to NOT stir up my love til He Please, but that Solomon "made" "himself" that covering of purple and paved it with LOVE "for" the daughters of Jerusalem.

But it was the MOTHER who presented it to them. Did you read that?

The King James Version (Authorized)

3 Thou shalt also be a

"CROWN OF GLORY'..................crown of glory"

in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, F269 and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. 5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, 7 And give him no rest, F270 till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies.

1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest,

until

the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. 2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. 3 Thou shalt also be a

CROWN OF GLORY

in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, F269 and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. 5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, 7 And give him no rest, F270 till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: 9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. 11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work F271 before him. 12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

TAKE SPECIAL NOTICE OF THIS

CROWN.......

Applying this to Christ, it speaks the honour put upon him, and his power and dominion.

Lord, thou that shewest thyself unto us, thou wast shewed unto our fathers in the wilderness, in a place where no man treadeth, in a barren place, when they came out of Egypt.

WE OFTEN REPEAT ' I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE'

THE BRIDE AND THE GROOM ARE ONE, TOO.

THE MOTHER AND THE FATHER HAVE A ONENESS.

THE SON SEEMS TO MARRY HIS BRIDE.

THE BRIDE SEEMS TO BE THE MOTHER.

HEAR OH ISRAEL THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE.

HE THAT IS JOINED TO THE LORD IS ONE .............

Zechariah 2:11 -

And many nations shall be

joined

to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
