Lovesick

Image and video hosting by <span class=

I was swept up in personal affairs this past week,
so, I wasn't up to blog or continue my winter
study on SoS.

My brother and I sometimes fight like cats and
dogs, and have always been like that, but, I
really love him.. He's a genius, both
artistically and scholastically. He's got a mystical
edge, but, is very angry with Christ, mainly for giving
Judaism a second place status. While my brother
doesn't look Jewish, with his fair hair and
turquoise blue eyes, he's the type of Jew
people secretly hate, because he is patronizing
with many people who aren't Jewish, believing they
are often inferior. He is bitter that Jews
can't be the heavenly elite main race, the
"Chosenest of the Chosen", as if God only cared about
one small family of creatures above the rest,
and left the rest with no grace or place for
salvation.

Anyway, other than our screaming matches about
Christ, and Christianity, my brother and I
really do love eachother. He was stricken
with leukemia and God gave me the identical
genetic markers to be able to donate my bone
marrow, which saved his life and cured his leukemia.
It was a miracle. It even took place in the room
that his idol, Carl Sagan, had died in. My brother
adheres to his humanist creed, being a scientist
and that's what made the experience weirder because
immediately after Sagan died, my brother was put
in that room in Hutchinson's Cancer Hospital in Seattle.

It was ironic, because my brother adored Sagan,
who died, and for me, it showed that science and
human goodness cannot overcome death. The same
medical advances that saved my brother couldn't
save his hero, who also got a bone marrow transplant
from his sister.

That experience was profoundly mystical, all the way
around. We had some spiritual events....
Even today, I cannot speak of them.


He received my bone marrow, and as a joke he
got a Led Zeppelin tape and Bible from those
who knew how he and I were night and day.
You'd think at least some of what made me me
would take root in him!

The bone marrow took, but, he rejected both my
heroes in the Bible and pop culture.

Meanwhile, we both survived, and in my case, I was
richer with many deep spiritual blessings
that supported my faith for the years to come.

I see God everywhere and in everything, because
God is a Spirit, and He is LIFE. Jesus is incarnate
God, the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, the
invisible God. No one comes to the Father other than
through His Holy Son, whose blood is the atonement
for our sins. I am awed and grateful for the faith
to see Him, with grace to believe with all my heart
and soul.

He has proven to me time and time again that Christ
is my personal Savior. What's even more endearing
is that Christ has the same unconditional love for
everyone, every sinner, every hungry soul, yearning
for the sustenance that nothing in this world
can fill or satisfy. That's why humans are so easily
diverted into drugs, amoral sexual behavior, gambling,
and other destructive behaviors. The only way to
peace is to make peace with God Almighty through
Jesus Christ.

He is at the doorway of our souls, beckoning
anyone seeking comfort and peace. He adjures
us to come out of the scary empty world. He has given
us the blueprint of hope for the future, and in this
I constantly rejoice. As I get older, I get more
confident and feel younger. It's the opposite of
the world. Every year I age, I feel like I'm closer
to regeneration and transformation. For me, it's the
opposite of the world's portion for women, whose lives
are diminished with every passing year.

It's blatantly clear that this is the case in the way
the media indoctrinates people. I see Paris Hilton replacing
last decade's "It" girl, and watch how cruelly former
Its are treated. Pamela Anderson is reviled as a joke
and washout piece of trash, not because she's any
more trashy now than 15 years ago, but, because she's
40, the unpardonable sin of this world.

Jesus puts more value on women as they age, not the
way the world devalues us. This comforts me every
year I accumulate past age 40.

But, back to my story....

12 years after my brother survived leukemia,
and I survived nearly bleeding to death, another
crisis emerged. My brother went into liver failure
and was in a coma. I was preparing to give him
half my liver, and let me confess, I was scared
to death. It put my faith to the test because if
I bled out with just drilling holes into my pelvis
to harvest bone marrow, will I survive donating
the right lobe of my liver?

I didn't need to because inexplicably, my brother
revived on his own. Within 24 hours, his liver
function was normal, he was out of the coma,
and I was not faced with the choice with my
brother's death, or my own.

I love being tested, after the fact, because that
gives me confidence that I can face death in
faith that my life belongs to God and Jesus
Christ. Even though I was a wreck this past
week, I have been so humbly repentant of
all my many sins. No matter how I try to
be good, when faced with God, face to face,
I feel so small, dirty, sinful and unworthy.
The light is too bright not to blind me.

After surviving many trials, and ordeals,
I feel blessed by God to be counted worthy
of suffering for this goal of achieving
my heart's desire in Christ. God doesn't love me
any more than any other sinner. He is love,
but, he will also judge the world for usurping
the true faith, and persecuting the children
of God in Christ's Name.

I am not alone in believing these are the
end of days, when we are told to come out of the
whore, the unfaithful and corrupt church. The
majority of churches have embraced another lover,
and incorporated the mystery religion of Mesopotamia...

The totality of the institutional world church,
forms a treacherous scarlet woman, whose breach is
fornicating with world cultures, polluting the
way and holy sanctuary. They have corrupted
truth and obfuscated the way of holiness by
bringing pagan rites into the realm of Christianity,
combining the traditions and carnal desires of
man which are contrary to the laws of God.

This is why the world church appears as the
symbolic scarlet woman, but, the bride is
the believer who eschews the world and its' ways.
Friendship with the world is enmity with God.

Solomon was an example of a world leader who
made peace with other cultures and lost his
soul, his kingdom, and paved the way for the
final battle. Ironically, since he was still
a prophet, he also penned this magnificent
opus, along with many other sacred texts which
feed believers today. He learned late in life
that what he did was wrong, but, it was too
late for him to correct it. He knew his
descendants would forever pay the price
for his folly.

The Antichrist appears from out of nowhere,
issuing word words of greatness, and even peace,
making him seem like a lamb, but, inside is the
demonic dragon because there can be no peace
without making peace with God's Son, Jesus Christ
of Nazareth. The world leader appears righteously
cloaked in Christianity, yet his true nature is hidden.

When I see the signs of the end coming,
I feel myself leaping for joy, like that bride
anticipating her groom coming back for her. When
Christ discussed his crucifixion at the Last
Supper, the Apostles rebuked him, not understanding.
They only knew the carnal hopes of life that mortals
cling to, not grasping the immortal mystical promises
of God. They struggled to learn about His signs in
Christ fulfilling the Law, the rites of Judaism
and providing the hope for each generation until
he returns. They scolded him for speaking of
defeat, secretly hoping that Christ would be
crowned king in their view, and he would
rule a peaceful world then. They couldn't
grasp what he was saying.

We're the same way. As much as we want Christ
to come, we don't want the end to come. This
is because even though we're given a prophetic
window into the end, it is still frightening
and it is still the unknown. I realized this
last week, when faced with donating half my
liver, fearful of bleeding to death, that
I still don't want to die and pray for life.
It's an enigma, but, it's our nature to cling
to this life. Our life is still sacred, coming
from God.

However, making peace with the world, at the
cost of diluting our beliefs is a great
temptation. We have to be ready to accept
not only death, but, to stand up against the
world leader, whoever he may be.

If the world leader initiates a chip implantation
requirement, for "security" purposes, people
will definitely comply, because they trust
authority, even at the expense of their own
eternal souls and warnings about damnation.
All we know is the here and now, and we
are trained to obey in this way. It is at our
threshhold to be required to registered and
accept the number of the beast, yet, even
churches will recommend their flocks comply.
Surely God won't hold that against people
who want to protect their children from
predators, and protect our country from
hostile terrorists!

How blind we are, even when faced with
the text of these things in the Bible.

In the ancient Hebrew culture, the betrothed groom
would go off to build them a home, establishing
his own turf, and return for the bride when
that was completed. They would then make
a great wedding feast. So when Jesus told us he
goes to prepare a place for us, it is in line with
this culture. He said no man knew the hour
or day of his return, but, he did encourage us
in that we would be able to see the signs
because of prophecy. If we couldn't, then
what good is prophecy? Yet, many rebuke
Christians who proclaim these things are
coming true, using the logic that no man
can understand the time of Christ's return.

In Song of Solomon, the bride is an outcast amongst
the daughters of Jerusalem, the allegory for the
many denominations of Christ. They are angry with
her for not being the ideal Jewish princess. In
fact, she is black-skinned and descendant of
Ishmael, yet, in every way, a true princess
and daughter of David's sons, same as Solomon.
"Daughters of Jerusalem" is a term used
to describe David's literal tribe, since Jerusalem
was a city of David, a city of his tribe, Judah.
The bride is dark-skinned and from Ishmael
which is prophetic towards the believers
being both David's royal seed, and by grace,
the seed of Ishmaelites, the world, or gentiles,
who were outcasts in Jerusalem. This is
deeply prophetic and sings God's graces.

Solomon took it way too carnally, let's be
honest. He thought by his own wisdom
he could forge this peaceful eternal
kingdom by holding hands with his enemies,
and loving them, yet, they brought him down,
not by arrows and physical warfare, but, by
polluting the sanctuary, watering down the
laws of God and the kingdom of his
inheritance. These are not easy things to
understand on the surface, because we
are taught to try to embrace peace, at any
cost. Yet there is a time to die for our
beliefs because Christ told us to fear only
God, not man who is not able to throw
us in Hell. What good is gaining a few
decades on this planet, if we go to Hell
and are damned forever?

When Christ is ready to return, he promises us
a wedding feast. He told us about the ten
wise virgins, prepared for the end. He told
us about the wise followers, already prepared
for flight by waiting on the roofs for his
return. He told us about our flight. He
implored us to always be vigilant.

He compares us to his bride, and also Jerusalem
is identified with a living believer, much as Jacob
was originally named "Israel" for the entire nation
that Christ will inherit.

Because of this promise of Christ's return, I tend
to get animated about seeing signs of the end
of our age. These are not subtle things. Abortion
and mankind's belief that they can kill, even
their own flesh and blood fetuses, with bloody
abandon, is a big sign. I get chills when I read
about scientists manipulating DNA to forge the
way to creating new life. I see nothing but
wickedness in the media today.

I have watched incredulously as the corrupt
SAG media writers, who in my opinion are
major harbingers of evil propaganda, are striking
their share of the big wealth. I laugh because I
think the best thing that could happen is if they would
be banned from writing forever. This is because
these individuals are partly to blame for
corrupting billions of souls and God help them.
The type of material filtering into children's
souls is appalling and depressing. They are
conditioning people to accept damnation.
We're living in a culture where people are
tatooing 666 and demons on their very
flesh!

I behold the signs and the tools of the devil,
like the media, how he has control of the world's
governments, now unifying into a central one-world
order. I see what's happened to Europe and the EU. The
Mark of the Beast is a reality that's here. In the next
decade they will absolutely be requiring first ID
cards and then the chip implantation. They
are already implanting chips in people, pets and
trying to convince dimwitted spiritually retarded
parents that this will make their children
safer.

I behold how this Muslim shill Obama Hussein
is rapidly gaining ground in this election came
outta freaking nowhere, from out of virtual thin
air into the national scene, with no viable
credentials to lead the world today. JUST
like we're told the Antichrist will happen on
the scene, this guy is the sweetheart of literally
ALL the media, and movie stars..

I behold how the most wicked world families of
corruption in this world today, like the
Kennedys, are supporting him, like it's
"Rosemary's Baby" and they're coming
out of the woodwork, for real.

Many Christians cling to this notion he will
be a secular or genetic Jew, because of the
verse in Daniel about how he will not follow
the religion of his fathers, but, that fits
Osama Hussein to a tee, too!

I am left with a curious dilemma, whether
to dread his possible nomination and
election, succumbing to my gut's dread,
or embrace with wonder how he could be it.
I do literally mean it, the 666 one, OG, the real
one, not Al Crowley.

Dude is handsome, young, charismatic, and
came out of nowhere. Because he is black,
it is politically incorrect to use race against
him, or even criticize him, because the
media has people trained in not being able
to speak openly any more. It's amazing how
conditioned the public is. Baaaah-baaaaaaah
sheep, but, unlike Christ's flock, following
him, they will not hear Christ's voice and
will follow this handsome shill...

There is very little free thought or analytical
thinking processes left in people. Education
drills it out of them. The media has utterly
corrupted free thought, despite its' ostensible
range of topics. We're being programmed like
the sheep the immortals see in us.

We are helpless to defend ourselves from
these forces without the help of Christ's angels,
and His divine protection. At least, that's my
belief.

If the pop star, Bono tells people to stop
driving cars, because they aint green,
they do it, even if that Bozo flies using
up millions of their puny carbon footprints.
H Y P O C R I T E S and conspirators.
They are puppets and false prophets of the
beast.

It's all conspiracy, and Obama Hussein fits
right in, in my opinion. I almost feel glee
thinking of how if he's elected, we can look
forward to the Cube coming soon!

He does not follow the strict religion of his fathers,
which is Muslim, but, instead is affiliated
with a dreadful world church, the UCC, one of
the very deadest and worst of the whorish worst.

All of these world, or "United" churches, whether
they are United Lutheran, or Presby, or Baptist
or CoC are D E A D and functional as political
socioeconomic pulpits, the antithesis of what
a church should be. One needs to only ascertain the
spiritual climate through Osama's dubious and
controversial, racist pastor to see the writing
on the wall with these things staring us in the
face...


I think that if Osama is elected, beginning his
reign in the winter of 2009, that puts the 3.5 mark in
2012! It's really too perfect to resist not seeing
how it fits .

It is also ironically analogous to the real
King Solomon, who made peace with the warring
and hostile nations around, but, at a great cost.
He married foreign princesses, a thousand of them.
He built up their religions, next to the Holy
Sanctuary he was ordained to build in Jerusalem
for YHWH.

He is the epitome of adultery and betrayal, and
a microcosm of that which is to come. Friendship
with the world at a cost by sacrificing your
beliefs isn't the way to get past the pearly
gates. This is why it's an enigma that is
a common theme in the Old and New Testament,
from the time of Solomon's apostasy and rebellion,
to the time of the end, when a false man of
peace comes with the sheep's wool of Christ's
flock, while hidden underneath is betrayal
and plans for the beheading of every last
jew and Christian, the way the Islamic world
is functioning today.

As a kid, I wondered how the world allowed
the Holocaust, but, here we are 60 years
later, watching Christian children being
beheaded in places like Indonesia, Ethiopia
and all over Africa. Yet we send them aid.

Again, what seems good to the world's cause
is not compatible with God's plan. We should
always extend compassion to others, but,
Christ forewarned us not to throw pearls
before swine because they will come and
rend us. It's not that pearls are wasted,
but, the truth of God infuriates them. We
see this in the attacks church workers
face in these regions which forbid
Christianity.

There is a holocaust happening today, with
celebrities collecting money to give to
their leaders, planning world domination
and our demise. It's as poorly thought out
as Solomon's peaceful kingdom. His wisdom
failed him. The kingdom was destroyed
because he relied on his human beliefs
and rejected what his father David had
taught him.

The Antichrist will act like a man of peace,
and is compared to a lamb for the first
3 years, restoring a peaceful unity in the
world governments with the ostensible
trappings of peace. But, after 3.5 years,
when the Sacred Cube returns and we
are taken up, all hell will break loose
down below: Civil disobedience; Terror;
Infrastructure collapse and chaos. This
will substantiate the mark of the beast,
the chip in the hand....

It is all there. It is ready and in place.

So, I'm not unhappy if Osama Hussein
wins, because it means Christ is that
much closer. The bridegroom is coming
and the hope is glorious. Nothing can
describe my happiness when I see it in
my mind's eye. I see it coming, like being
able to read the next page through the print
of the page in front of it. I see Him and I
hear the saints marching in!

This is what the Song of Solomon does to
me. Each time, I get deeper, it cuts deeper
into me, and sometimes, it feels like the
world is synchronized to accompany these
events. That's what's great about having
a relationship with Christ. Everything feels
personal. He has infinite love. He is so
glorious and awesome that my words
are pitifully inadequate. If I could describe
him, I'd use the language of Shulamite,
Solomon's bride, and exalt his physical
beauty, and the exhilaration of being
in his proximity. I definitely identify with
the hard longing of wanting to be with
him, every second of every day. I am
so in love with him, my head swims.
I am love sick, but not sick of his love.

Another sleepless night praising Hashem Adonai

I'll continue my study tomorrow. Tonight, I can't
intellectualize Holy Scripture. It is in my heart
to worship, not delve into the mysteries of God
Almighty.

My praise came to my lips when my dad and I
discussed our Lord, Y'shua HaMaschiach,
Jesus Christ. He still struggles with questions
about God, although he believes.

Before I knew what my lips were saying, I heard
my voice telling him that Father God is eternal,
infinite, and as a Spirit, unable to be grasped by
our mortal minds. Christ said no man has seen
the Father. He said that God the Father, sees all.

I heard my voice praising God as "I AM that I AM"
the great infinite God, without beginning or end.
Then the words came that Jesus Christ, the
physical manifestation of God the Father, as the
son of God, is the Beginning and the End, the
Alpha and the Omega, His eternal NAME.

I heard my voice speak in wonder that out of
all the myriad of cultures, nationalities and
empires, the world's destruction rests on the
fate of little Zion, like a cottage in a vast field.
The nations of the world are divided over Zion,
the smallest of specs in the galaxy, but, the
meeting point of all our human history, from
the beginning to the end of our world.

Here, five centuries after Adam and Eve were
sent out of the garden of God, we stand poised
for reentry. The Holy Cherubim, with swords
flashing and outstretched will not be there to
vanquish us, but to lead us in upon Christ's
return in the way He promised.

Everything Christ and the Bible prophecized
is coming true.

Today, there were stories of how identity chips
are being introduced into prisoners and how
children will soon "carry" them, a precursor
to their being implanted. Never fear, say the
reporters, pawns and mouthpieces for the
great enemy, because the chips are just
numerical markers. Let's not stretch our
brains further than the numbers, 666,
for that is what it is.

The matrix of God's programming is holy
immutable and we can only marvel at the
way it's happening before our eyes.

I hate to speak evil of Barak Obama, because
I'm trying to be open-minded since he's
getting so far in the primaries, but, who is
he? Isn't the antichrist one that will come
out of nowhere? Isn't he to be one whose
religion is not that of his father? Who is
this man with such charisma, and such
a blatant name, that so many will entrust
the free world and its' fate into his hands
without any reassurance that he has the
ability to rule independently and competently.
Who is funding him, and why is the media
so completely behind him?

When the antichrist comes, it will be the
same. Daniel calls him the one who controls
the powers of the air, which we can well
interpret as the airwaves.

I'm not saying Barak is the antichrist, but,
he could be, since the time is drawing close
to essential markers in time...

It doesn't matter to me, since all I care about
is the LORD Jesus Christ, and my death is
gain, for loving him is the key to heaven.

I love Jesus more than my own life. I will
be honored to die for him, if I have the
chance. Not by blowing up another human
being, but, by maintaining my faith until
the end. This means refusing the identity
chip that will be forcefully implanted.
This means refusing to bow to the the
world dictator and renounce my God,
which will happen when the antichrist
reigns.

Already there are neo-Nazi antisemitic
rantings worldwide, from mostly Arabic
and Islamic nations. They will not hesitate
to kill all Christians and Jews since they
are already getting away with it worldwide.

Throughout the world, right this minute,
women are subjugated, held as sex slaves,
along with children. There has never been
more sexual slavery of human beings than
this minute in time. Do people not understand
how this condemns any nation that doesn't
aggressively seek to protect women and
children from harm?

ANy nation where women are enslaved or
symbolically enslaved by Sharia laws, will
be judged. Any nation that allows children
to be sold as slaves will be destroyed. That's
why the tsunammis have ravaged Indonesia,
in addition to their killing Christian children
by beheading them when they wouldn't
renounce Christ.

It's happening before our eyes, but, the
churches don't want to face it. Where is
the outrage at the chips being marketted
and proposed for human implantation?

ANyone who receives a chip is damned.
But, where is the outrage from the church?

These are exciting times, with it all. I hope
Barak isn't the antichrist, but, if he is, it is
a reason to rejoice, not moan, because
in 3.5 years after the antichrist takes
office, Christ comes to judge the world.

The landlord isn't absent, he's just been
away and soon all will be restored. Like
a bridegroom coming for his bride, he will
soon come, and the wedding of the Lamb
will commence as promised.

I love Song of Solomon for this blessed
eschatology. Whenever I recite, or do
a study of it, my soul is blessed by the
cleansing and overwhelming love I feel
for Jesus Christ. My passion is almost
too much for me to bear. I grit my teeth,
close my eyes, and feel almost light-headed
with love. I want him so badly i can't stand
it, nor can I adequately express the wave
of adoration that surpasses any other love
I have felt in my life. I adore him. I want
him to come close, so I could hug him,
and like the bride in Song of Solomon,
I lament that if he were my brother, at
least I could kiss him...

How can we love Christ so much and have
such yearning for his presence that it
is beyond any other yearning imaginable.
It is almost unbearable. This is the only
glory in death. Any hope of seeing his
face is the only hope that shines in my
heart. Nothing else can substitute for
my longing. Nothing this world offers,
not a billion dollars, or jewels, wealth
and luxury could tempt me to compare
this love with material things.

I am poor in the world, despised for being
a middle-aged female, a chubby one at
that. I am everything the world despises
but i am so loved and I have a love that
is beyond any other.

I am blessed because of this love, and
I feel like the luckiest person alive tonight
for having such a precious love that
sustains me through the loveless and
heartless world we're living in today.

Thank you LORD for the hope, love,
and eternal home in your presence.
Thank you for choosing the despised
as your bride.

This is another verse which uses collective
metaphor to imply the future wedding of
Jerusalem to God, more than the literal events
of his 1000th marriage vows.

The King exclaims that his bride, adorned
in jewels as veils and chains around her
neck in verse 10, expands the parable to
be more applicable to the nation of Israel.
Every King is betrothed to his kingdom.
Solomon uses poetic license to pitch both
his bride and his nation. Marriages were
often liasons to insure power or stability
amongst the royals, and Solomon carried
this to the extreme, marrying a thousand
tribal women.

Shulamite is special because she is both
an Ishmael descendant, but, also a blood
relative of the Davidic lineage. This is
implied by the word for her love, "dowd"
which denotes male sibling of parent.

All of these are extremely esoteric images
of the grace of the Bride of Jesus Christ.
His Judaism was presented to the nations
of the world, and this is his bride, an ancestor
of the eternal rival, Ishmael. This is the
coming together of original brothers, and
the beginning of worldwide brotherhood.

The bride seals this arrangement, and just
as Solomon married Pharoah's daughter,
as well as princesses from many tribal
kingdoms, like Ethiopia , this princess
further insures the bloodline of all tribes
is mingled and collected into the bloodline
of God's chosen people who would eventually
spawn the Savior Jesus Christ.

Our LORD accepts all humanity, without
prejudice. This was his plan to marry the
nations to God.

The poetry of verse 11 is deep.

"border" is the same word tawb, as in
verse 10's "rows". It is only used 4
times, and 2 times in SoS. I believe
that's because it is Arabic etiology,
used because it referred to her
tribal headdress, veils and jewelry.

Borders to empires and nations
were as important then, as they are today,
especially in the holy land. Look at the disputes
over each km of land in Israel today!

"Borders of gold" is poignant, and implies
something more glorious than a barrier wall with
armaments. It reflects the ultimate glory of
the Kingdom of God, even the literal and
prophetic Kingdom of our LORD, Jesus Christ on
Earth, as we breathlessly await him like a bride
anticipating her glorious wedding day.

In New Jerusalem, we are given examples of
streets of gold, and buildings of precious
stones. I believe in verse 11, Solomon,
representing the last King of Jerusalem,
Y'shua HaMaschiach, is elucidating
the image of the prophetic kingdom where
his blessed ancestor will reign .

Gold is "zahab" and is a common word used
in the Old Testament, both for the literal gold
of the land, and frequently as many layers of
metaphor and symbolism.

All spiritual principles first have a real physical
meaning. From the beginning of our history
in Abraham, we are told that gold and silver
were precious and valuable.
Gen 13:2 And Abram [was] very rich in cattle
, in silver , and in gold 02091.

The instructions of the temple of YHWH
was explicit to include the finest gold
overlay:

Exd 25:11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold 02091,
within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make
upon it a crown of gold 02091 round about .


The mercy seat of God was to be made
out of gold:

Exd 25:17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat
[of] pure gold 02091: two cubits and a half
[shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit and
a half the breadth thereof.

By inference, gold became a word spiritually
synonymous with valuable attributes such
as God's mercy, or man's wisdom, kindness,
and other attributes.

The pagans made themselves idols of gold
and silver which were the counterpart of
this, and stand for the negative duality of
this precious thing.

WOrldly and materialistic greedy men are
the antithesis of men of God because the
love of money is the root of all evil, and
the same precious gold is responsible for
man's inhumanity towards his fellow man
and subjugation of others.

When Solomon writes that "we" will make
borders of gold, it has many different nuances,
but it's overall meaning is that when Christ
marries the bride, the true church, and
Jerusalem is established in peace, there
will be borders of gold, the precious mercy
and spiritually pure tenets of faith, which
are towers which safeguard the inhabitants.
It will be a time of peace. We are promised
1000 years of peace with our Lord, here
on Earth, until the final battle in Armeggedon.

The word for studs, in "Studs of silver"
another unique word to SoS, and nowhere
else in the OT. It is another Arabic derivative
related to the same concept of jewelry studding
we have today. But, silver has a similarly intense
and literal meaning.

Silver is synonymous with money. It is
the word for money: "keceph". Gold was
not usual currency.

It also has innate value as something which
the ancients valued for it's versatility. It was
decorative and had many purposes.

As metaphor, it has poetic symbolism for
wisdom, because it is tried in a furnace and
burned of dross seven times. This is analogous
to how we gain wisdom by passing through
tests and ordeals.

In verse 11, it's meaning is a broader context
to the established kingdom of Christ on Earth
when we will possess the wisdom denied our
ancestors who trespassed in the Garden
of Eden. In fact, the tree of life will be planted
on both sides of the great river flowing from
under the throne of Jerusalem, healing the
waters throughout the world, along with
the nurturing of the tree(s) of life. We will
one day be allowed to possess the wisdom
that we have coveted and desired because
God will let us eat.

Silver and gold, valuable to material life we
understand, is valuable to spiritual life as
a way to understand how knowing God is
more valuable than all material things.
In this way, the borders of gold, and studs
of silver relate to God's land, when He
will return and reclaim our inheritance
and when have the wisdom and understanding
of the Law of God written in our hearts.

Only then, are we wed to Jesus Christ.

Psa 119:72 The law of thy mouth [is] better
unto me than thousands
of gold 02091 and silver 03701.
