Gaze at the Shulamite

Songs of Solomon 6:13 - Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.


Today's message from the book of Songs of Solomon may seem like Shakespeare and complicated, but when I give the meanings of the words according to the actual Hebrew script, one may not need much help to understand this message.

Return, return, O Shulamite [perfect one]; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite [perfect one]? As it were the company <04246>of two armies<04246> [the same word is repeated twice and means encampment - body of people].

Thus can be written as:-
Return, return, O Perfect One; return, return, that we may look upon thee.
What will ye see in the Perfect One? As it were the body of people, body of people.

This message can be very simple milk stating the people awaiting the return of the Perfect One which is the Lord Jesus Christ. It was He alone who was born without blemish and remained without blemish. There was no corruption in body, soul and spirit found in Him. He was our perfect sacrifice and an example to overcome.

The same message can be made solid food by concentrating at the end part of the scripture - “as it were the body of people, body of people”. The same word is written twice and thus caused many translations to translate it as 2 armies. Let me explain this part.

When we say God - it is a term used for the Godhead Body, which includes Father, Son and Spirit - God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit. That is God the Father and His Spirit and God the Son (who existed in the Father as part of the Father and was declared as an individual) and His Spirit. Since both have the same Spirit and their Spirit is a being Himself that is why they are 3 yet 1. They cannot be separated for both the Father and Son share the Same Spirit yet all 3 are individual with unique identity. They together are the body of God the Father.

Similar way God the Spirit has a body of 7 Spirit yet is 1 Spirit (Isaiah 11:2) and God the Son too had a Spirit body which consist of the Cherubs, Angels - the Heavenly beings (that is why some scriptures has an Angel appeared and some places the Lord appeared for the same incident).

As we know God is light and when some of the Angels went against the plan of God darkness came and this caused the Temple (the body of the Son) to be damaged. God is a God whose plans are to prosper, so to rebuild this Temple and bring perfection into it this time God made mere man who in spite in spirit is same as the Angels but being made in the flesh is lower than the Angels. God created us so that we become a light that overcomes the darkness.

Man failed again and again and since by ourselves we could not, God the Son became man and came from a woman as our sacrifice. Not born of a human father He was born without sin and let by the Holy Spirit He remained without sin. By His sacrifice He made available for us His Spirit and by His Spirit He makes us be a light - as overcomers. In the end He comes as Son of Man and leads a team army of Angels (elect men who are the first resurrected) and together they destroy Satan, Beast and the fallen angels. This battle people think would be like some world war or as shown in movies, Angels chasing fallen angels and killing it. Sorry nothing like this is going to happen. The battle is more like one nuclear bomb which destroys everything evil.

Bible says the Son of Man (the Head of the Angel Army -Arch Angel) with come with His army and give a shout which is like a thousand thunders - trumpet of God. In this shout He declares His Holy Name - WHO HE IS and this causes every being to bow (surrender) unto Him. It is after this we who are revived from the corruption of sin become a part of God the Son along with the Angels of Heaven. That is why the Bible in some scriptures calls us little Gods since we become part of the body of God the Son (the marriage). The glory which the God the Son had before is not only restored but taken to another level by our Testimony in Lord Jesus Christ.


[ Prayer Starter ]
Lord, when the Angels revolted against the light You could have finished them there and then, but in your Wisdom You had greater plans. You made mere man to overcome the mighty angels. You set forth the impossible and to make it possible You became a part of your plan, which the fallen angels never dreamt of. They saw You humble yourself and come as mere man yet the fallen angels did not change because their hearts were hardened even though they knew their destiny. Lord we thank You for making us part of your plans. You have greater things set for us in Heaven which no human mind can imagine. Lord, we pray we remain in your plan and not harden our hearts. That we gaze at the Perfect One and await His return...

This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.
