PROPHETIC CHAMBER
We are currently - in biblical times - in the spiritual dimension of Reuben, which is a dimension of seeing and recognizing within the sonship of Christ, the firstborn among many brethren, and is connected with the rising water. In this context in the month of Tammuz, it can help us to take a closer look at the element of water and its course in Israel in a spiritual understanding (cf. Genesis 49:3-4a i.c.w. Romans 8:29).
 
Genesis 49:3-4a:
3 ‘Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, the first sign of my strength, excelling in honour, excelling in power.
4a Turbulent as the waters, …
 
Romans 8:29:
29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers [and sisters].
 
We know that everything that God has created on earth is a shadow of what God’s invisible being in heaven is like. It is expressed in His creation on earth (cf. Romans 1:19-20a).
 
Romans 1:19-20a:
19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
20a For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, …
 
The ‘Male’ and ‘Female’ Water
 
In a spiritual context, it can be said that there are two types of water, the ‘male waters’ and the ‘female waters’. The ‘male waters’ are the river structure, whereas the ‘female waters’ are the ‘sea’ and ‘lake structure’.
 
In relation to Israel, this means that the ‘male water’ in the form of the Jordan runs as fresh water from north to south and is also a confirmation of God’s prophetic instruction, because the LORD confirmed His word, which He spoke through Samuel from Dan which is located in the north to Beersheba located in the south (cf. 1 Samuel 3:19-20).
 
1 Samuel 3:19-20:
19 The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.
20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognised that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the Lord.
 
The ‘female waters’, on the other hand, appear as the ‘Sea of Galilee’ in the form of fresh water and the Dead Sea in the form of salt water. The difference between these two bodies of water is that the Sea of Galilee is characterized as taking in the form of ‘receiving’ as well as ‘giving’, whereas the Dead Sea is currently ‘taking’ in that it does not provide drinking water and species-rich life of many fish.
 
Thus, the different types of water as river and sea/lake point to the principle of giving or sowing and receiving in the form of harvest (cf. 2 Corinthians 9:6-11).
 
2 Corinthians 9:6-11:
6 Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
9 As it is written: ‘They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures for ever.’
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
 
Allegorically speaking, the river is connected with the realm of ‘authority, order, ...’ and the sea/lake is connected with ‘care, life, protection, ...’. This kind of spiritual symbiosis can also be recognized between the throne room of God, connected to the crystal sea, and the structure of the bride of the Lamb as a glorious city in which the river flows from the crystal sea (cf. Revelation 22:1).
 
Revelation 22:1:
1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb …
 
The ‘New Angels’ and the Release of Revelation
 
Since the ‘Jordan’ is also described as ‘the one descending’, we can recognize in this the statement of Jesus, who spoke to Nathanael and the people of Israel about the movement of the ‘new angels’ from His domain (cf. John 1:49-51).
 
John 1:49-51:
49 Then Nathanael declared, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.’
50 Jesus said, ‘You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than that.’
51 He then added, ‘Very truly I tell you, you will see “heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on” the Son of Man.’
 
When the angels ascended and descended over ‘the route’, of the way, the truth and the life, this means nothing else than that there is an exchange of angelic entities in the natural realm, bringing fresh winds of revelation to the people of God, that is, to those who are in Christ Jesus (cf. John 14:6).
 
John 14:6:
6 Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me. …’
 
The release of the revelations of Christ from His domain results in a begetting in our spirit that brings forth fruitfulness and life.
Among other things, this is about His righteousness (Note: ‘Dan’ => ‘judge’) and His promises, even those that are not yet known to us (Note: symbol for ‘Beersheba’ => ‘well of an oath – well of the seven’). As a result, our spirit like the water is stirred up and the promise gains vitality in us, similar to the fish in the Sea of Galilee, which need the inflow of water from the Jordan to be able to stay in the depths. This vitality includes blessing, expansion and freshness.
 
The Stirring of the Spirit and the Sound of the Harp
 
In addition, the stirring of our spirit results in a new sound of worship that leads us to continue on the path of righteousness and enter more deeply into the promises of God.
 
The ‘Sea of Genezareth’ also known as the Sea of Gallilee can be translated as ‘harp’. It was the sound of the harp that, in the life of the prophet Elisha, during a time of conflict, caused the hand of God to come upon the prophet’s spirit so that he prophesied God’s plan to the kings (cf. 2 Kings 3:15-16).
 
2 Kings 3:15-16:
15 But now bring me a harpist.’ While the harpist was playing, the hand of the Lord came on Elisha
16 and he said, ‘This is what the Lord says: I will fill this valley with pools of water. …’
 
It is the high praise that strengthens faith despite any form of resistance and brings it forward (cf. Numbers 10:13-14a i.c.w. Judges 1:2; Revelation 14:2-3a).
 
Numbers 10:13-14a:
13 They set out, this first time, at the Lord’s command through Moses.
14a The divisions of the camp of Judah went first, under their standard. …
 
Judges 1:1-2:
1 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites asked the Lord, ‘Who of us is to go up first to fight against the Canaanites?’
2 The Lord answered, ‘Judah shall go up; I have given the land into their hands.’
 
Revelation 14:2-3a:
2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.
3a And they sang a new song before the throne …
 
The Sequence of God’s Work
 
As we allow the ministering spirits of God to move in our lives by faith for the cause of the Kingdom, the Holy Spirit within us begins to renew the realm of our communication, fine-tuning our discernment, revealing the favour of God to enjoy as we apply what we have learned from the past and move forward in reigning with Christ (cf. Colossians 3:1).
 
Colossians 3:1:
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
 
In our going forward with Christ, it does not fail that we reach stages where it is necessary for us to lay down things such as outworn ways of seeing (Note: symbolizing the Dead Sea) and express ourselves in trust to God the Father in worship to see with a new spiritual perspective (cf. Galatians 2:20 i.c.w. Ephesians 4:23-24).
 
Galatians 2:20:
20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
 
Ephesians 4:23-24:
… 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
 
This is what the tribes of Israel teach us in this context, among others, whose land allotted by God is connected to the aforementioned waters, which are the following seven tribes from north to south:
 
  1. Naphtali,
  2. Issachar,
  3. Manasseh,
  4. Gad,
  5. Benjamin,
  6. Judah,
  7. Reuben.
When we allow the work of God to affect our lives in the form of the descent from ‘north to south’, we enter a new awakening that leads us into spiritual acceleration, as it is written in Song of Songs 4:16a.
 
Song of Songs 4:16a:
16a Awake [Note: awaken], north wind, and come [Note: hurry up], south wind! …
 
This time challenges us as the people of God to awaken on different levels of our lives, becoming a movement of God on earth on a scale of influence and forward movement that has never been seen before.
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
When the Holy Spirit leads us as His people into a new time, it is possible that we will face an unexpected circumstance, similar to what Mary Magdalene experienced when she approached the tomb of Jesus and expected to find the body of Christ.
At this Mary wept and stooped down into the tomb (cf. John 20:11).
 
John 20:11:
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb …
 
Tears that Lead to Joy and Harvest
 
Sometimes in life we find ourselves in situations that make us feel sad. Despite sadness, we should be aware that tears that have been sown lead to a joyful harvest one day (cf. Psalm 126:5).
 
Psalm 126:5:
5 Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.
 
Based on Mary’s actions with tear-filled eyes at the tomb, we can see that it is important not to get emotionally stuck in the midst of a transition, which is like her leaning or looking into the tomb of Jesus.
 
It was the power of Mary’s tears that helped her to begin to look into the supernatural realm and see two angels in white robes sitting in Jesus’ tomb. One angel sat at the head and the other angel at the feet where Jesus had previously lain. At this, the angels asked Mary why she was weeping, whereupon she revealed her intimate relationship with Jesus by referring to Him as her Lord (cf. John 20:12-13).
 
John 20:12-13:
… 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, ‘Woman, why are you crying?’ ‘They have taken my Lord away,’ she said, ‘and I don’t know where they have put him.’
 
The Empty Tomb as a Sign of the Risen One and the Water
 
The location of the two angels in the empty tomb opened the space of Christ, the Risen One as Alpha, represented by the head, and Omega, represented by the feet, who is the one who is the time span of our life on earth (cf. Revelation 22:13 i.c.w. Deuteronomy 30:20a-b).
 
Revelation 22:13:
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
 
Deuteronomy 30:20a-b:
… 20a-b and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life [Note: the expansion of your life], …
 
It is no coincidence that the name ‘Mary’ is of Hebrew origin and originally read ‘Miriam – מִרְיָם’, whereby this name is written with an open ‘Mem’ and ends with a closed ‘Mem’. This fact reveals that it is about access and victorious completion, whereby the establishment of boundaries is important in order to stay in the ‘garden’ allotted by God and to enjoy His presence in it (cf. Genesis 2:8).
 
Genesis 2:8:
8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.
 
The Hebrew letter ‘Mem’ is associated with the ‘stirred water’.
 
It is significant that the Hebrew name ‘Miriam’ and the Hebrew word for ‘water – Majim’ have a ‘Mem’ at the beginning and at the end. In addition, the Hebrew word for ‘kingdom – mamlākāh’ begins with a double ‘Mem’.
 
In this, the realm of heaven and earth as well as spirit and soul is evident in the identity of God as the ‘Alpha’ and ‘Omega’ and the impact of His kingdom (Hebrew ‘mamlākāh’; cf. Revelation 1:8 i.c.w. Revelation 22:13).
 
Revelation 1:8:
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
 
Revelation 22:13:
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
 
The Double Turning
 
At this point it is interesting to note that ‘Mary – Miriam’ turned twice to Christ in the garden near the tomb. This reflects the call to renew the mind and spirit that the apostle Paul spoke of in order to be able to correctly assess the processes in God’s eternal plan (cf. Ephesians 4:23-24).
 
Ephesians 4:23-24:
… 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
 
Furthermore, it is no coincidence that Paul spoke of two spiritual presences required to recognize the LORD, which are the Spirit of wisdom and revelation (cf. Ephesians 1:17).
 
Ephesians 1:17:
17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
 
After ‘Mary – Miriam’ made her statement to the angels with her tear-stained eyes, she decided to turn around for the first time. Here she saw Jesus in a new light. At this point, Mary did not recognize Him and thought that He was the gardener.
 
Like the two angels, Jesus also asked Mary why she was weeping, whereupon she asked Him where the body was lying. Jesus then addressed ‘Mary – Miriam’ by her name in order to draw her out of the realm of the soul into the realm of the spirit, which is made clear by her second turning around, so that she now recognized Jesus as her teacher or master (cf. John 20:14-16 i.c.w. Revelation 1:10-12a-b).
 
John 20:14-16:
14 At this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realise that it was Jesus.
15 He asked her, ‘Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?’ Thinking he was the gardener, she said, ‘Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.’
16 Jesus said to her, ‘Mary.’ She turned towards him and cried out in Aramaic, ‘Rabboni!’ (which means ‘Teacher’).
 
Revelation 1:10-12a-b:
10 On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, 11 which said: ‘Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.’
12a-b I turned round to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw …
 
From this it follows that if the soul (Note: area in which the flesh is rooted) is not subordinate to the spirit, we do not properly recognize the visitation of God and discern the situation incorrectly.
 
Thus, the ‘wet eyes’ in this context symbolize seeing in a new way into the supernatural realm and perceiving what God wants to reveal (cf. 1 Corinthians 13:12 i.c.w. 2 Corinthians 3:18).
 
1 Corinthians 13:12:
12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
 
2 Corinthians 3:18:
18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
 
‘Dry eyes’, on the other hand, symbolize herein the earthly or soulish way of seeing without correctly recognizing the moment of the spirit.
 
The Spiritual Phase of Transition and Spiritual Sensitivity
 
In a spiritual phase of transition, it is necessary that we assess the situation with the right discernment in order to get to God’s predestined place.
 
Let us be spiritually sensitive to encounter the ‘untouched Word of God’ and allow it to go to God’s predestined higher place of government in order to be spiritually active with Christ from there (cf. John 20:17 i.c.w. Colossians 3:1-4; Revelation 4:1-2).
 
John 20:17:
17 Jesus said, ‘Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”
 
Colossians 3:1-4:
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
 
Revelation 4:1-2:
1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I
had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, ‘Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.’
2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.
 
The Spirit of God longs for the spiritual view and kingdom-filled perspective in us as saints to help us face new times.
 
Our perspective influences our actions, which corresponds to our faith. If we do not engage in the challenge to believe, even when we cannot understand circumstances, we do not see what is to be revealed to us in them.
 
It is therefore about our trust, which shows itself in faith, and this is what even some people around us are waiting for in order to understand the higher ways of God more deeply, in that the Lord is there where people do not suspect it.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
 
Daniel Glimm

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
We read in Song of Songs 4:2, according to the testimony of the beloved or the bridegroom, that He describes the teeth of His bride, that is, the true ecclesia, as a flock of freshly sheared sheep coming out of the washing, all of which are in the measure of double and fruitfulness.
 
Song of Songs 4:2:
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone.
 
In the past, the washing was in a pond or a shallow area of water or farmland to which cattle were driven for watering, washing and refreshment.
The Hebrew word for ‘watering place’ means ‘a bathing place for washing’.
 
The Teeth of the Bride
 
The teeth are located in the oral cavity, which is related to communication, so the emphasis is on letting go of the past, which the shorn wool represents, according to the bridegroom. Here it is crucial that we allow the power of the truth of the Word of God to renew our spirit and mind. This can be seen from the washing (cf. Ephesians 5:26b-27).
 
Ephesians 5:26b-27:
…, 26b cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
 
It is about complete spiritual agreement in the form of the implementation of God’s plan on earth, so that heaven on earth is recognized by people through the work of the ecclesia.
 
The meaning of ‘double’ in the form of ‘twins’ reveals the realm of casting off the shame of the past to stand in the power of God’s double inheritance (cf. Isaiah 61:7).
 
Isaiah 61:7:
7 Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.
 
The realization of God’s plan goes hand in hand with good fruits, which are the love (Note: gr. agape) of God, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (cf. Galatians 5:22-23).
 
Galatians 5:22-23:
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
 
The activity of the ecclesia involves an alignment of saints leading the way in a lifestyle of worship to the LORD and allowing His hand to transform them into a new structure through the presence of their spiritual unity.
 
The New Structure and the Right Spiritual Arrangement
 
The alignment involves a quality quantity of saints in the right spiritual arrangement.
 
The new structure is the glorious white warhorse bearing Jesus Christ in the facet of the eternal King as the Faithful and True One, the One unknown to the public, the Word of God, the King of kings and LORD of lords (cf. Revelation 19:11.12b.13b.16).
 
Revelation 19:11.12b.13b.16:
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.
… 12b He has a name written on him that no-one knows but he himself.
…, 13b and his name is the Word of God.
16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: King of kings and lord of lords.
 
As each individual sheep of the flock passes through the door of the truth of God’s Word, which is Jesus Christ and undergoes the cleansing of the water bath in the Word, it begins to network with the sheep that have already passed through. This is leading spiritually to the transformation of the flock as already mentioned into a white magnificent warhorse bearing Jesus Christ as the King of kings and LORD of lords (cf. Zechariah 10:3b-5).
 
Zechariah 10:3b-5:
…; 3b for the Lord Almighty will care for his flock, the people of Judah, and make them like a proud horse in battle.
4 From Judah will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle-bow, from him every ruler.
5 Together they will be like warriors in battle trampling their enemy into the mud of the streets. They will fight because the Lord is with them, and they will put the enemy horsemen to shame.
 
Just as the teeth are surrounded by saliva in the mouth, the flock of God is surrounded by His voice, which is like the sound of many waters and leads to a higher spiritual maturity (cf. Ezekiel 1:24a i.c.w. Revelation 1:15b).
 
Ezekiel 1:24a:
24a When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty [Note: Shaddai], …
 
Revelation 1:15b:
…, 15b and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.
 
The surrounding of the teeth with saliva in the mouth of His bride can also be seen as the realm of the dynamics of the testimony of Jesus (cf. Revelation 19:10e).
 
Revelation 19:10e:
‘… 10e For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.’
 
Furthermore, the teeth indicate saints who are diligently instructed by the wisdom of God, with the sheep representing full obedience to the voice of the LORD.
 
It is the goal of our LORD for us that we continue to go forward in Him as the Anointed One (Note: Christ).
 
Leading Out and Leading In

This means that He leads us as His flock out of the current abode of the Spirit and goes ahead of us to transform Himself into the ‘door’ with the aim of opening the new realm of the Spirit for us as His followers (cf. John 10:2-4).
 
John 10:2-4:
2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
 
As a result, the sheep are transformed as followers in His presence to bear Christ as the glorious warhorse as the eternal King in His reign as He establishes the righteousness of God through the living Word that proceeds from His mouth (cf. Revelation 19:15a).
 
Revelation 19:15a:
15a Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword …
 
In order for Christ to be represented in His eternal kingship according to the Word of God, we as saints must move in the unified structure of the white, splendored warhorse, which is the royal horse of Judah (Note: ‘praise, worship’), because Jesus Christ is the Lion of the tribe of Judah (cf. Revelation 5:5b).
 
Revelation 5:5b:
… 5b See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed.
 
The Glorious White Horse of Judah and the Eternal King
 
This movement within the structure of the white splendored horse of Judah involves a lifestyle of true worship and unity with the respective saints who are fully prepared to allow the Holy Spirit to transform them from a flock of sheep into this level of the magnificent horse.
 
It is about putting aside our own and previous ideas to carry and reflect Jesus Christ in the following facets:
 
  1. The white horse,
  2. Christ in faithfulness,
  3. Christ in truth,
  4. Christ as the righteous warrior,
  5. Christ as the one who is concealed,
  6. Christ as the Word of God,
  7. Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords (cf. Revelation 19:11-16).
Revelation 19:11-16:
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.
12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords.
 
These above facets signify for us as saints the walk in:
 
  1. worship according to the heavenly standards of God,
  2. faithfulness to Christ as the Word of God,
  3. truthfulness (Note: transparency) to Christ as the Word of God and to the saints,
  4. higher level of spiritual warfare, which includes cooperative, apostolic, spiritual warfare (Note: The Word of God comes out of the mouth of Christ and is not carried by Him at His waist or in His hand; cf. Revelation 19:15a i.c.w. Hebrews 4:12-13),
  5. the mystery of Christ in the shape of wisdom and knowledge hidden within Him (cf. Colossians 2:2-3),
  6. Christ as the living Word of God, which includes revelatory truth,
  7. the kingship and government of Christ (Note: dealing with authority in honour).
The hidden colour mixture, which results from Song of Songs 4:2, is composed of white as freshly shorn and washed sheep, and blue as alluvium in connection with water, which is also the colour scheme of the flag of Israel.
 
The Eyes of the Bridegroom
 
The bride of the beloved - bridegroom also bears a testimony about Him, which contains the same mixture of colours of the people of Israel and is associated with His eyes by the rivers of water, whereby the structure of doves wearing white plumage is mentioned (cf. Song of Songs 5:12).
 
Song of Songs 5:12:
12 His eyes are like doves by the water streams, washed in milk, mounted like jewels.
 
In this testimony of the bride about the view of the bridegroom, the togetherness comes to the fore, as it concerns the two eyes of her only beloved.
 
Furthermore, it is about the sight of the Spirit, because the eyes of the bridegroom are associated with the doves, which are based on the freshness and purity of the Word of God (cf. 1 Peter 2:2).
 
1 Peter 2:2:
2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, …
 
Here the two eye sockets have a special significance, revealing the realm of wisdom and knowledge hidden in Christ (cf. Colossians 2:2b-3).
 
Colossians 2:2b-3:
…, 2b in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
 
If we bring together the two testimonies from Song of Songs, we can see that it is about the area of the head, since the mouth as well as the eye sockets belong to the area of the head, which points us to the head of Christ, to whom we are to grow as members of the body of Christ (cf. Ephesians 4:15-16).
 
Ephesians 4:15-16:
15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
 
It is no coincidence at all as we know that Jesus Christ was crucified on the place of the skull - Golgotha and buried there (cf. John 19:17.41).
 
John 19:17.41:
17 Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). …
41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no-one had ever been laid.
 
Thus, the testimony of the bridegroom and the bride encompasses the realm of Jesus’ victory and triumph through His death and resurrection. The realm of resurrection can also be described as the realm of the mouth, from which the words of the good news spring forth, even when we are in a hopeless situation (cf. 2 Kings 7:3.9).
 
2 Kings 7:3.9:
3 Now there were four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate. They said to each other, ‘Why stay here until we die? …
9 Then they said to each other, ‘What we’re doing is not right. This is a day of good news and we are keeping it to ourselves. If we wait until daylight, punishment will overtake us. Let’s go at once and report this to the royal palace.’
 
Worship according to the heavenly standards of God, our faithfulness to Christ as the Word of God, truthfulness in our life in Christ as the Word of God and to the saints, the higher level of spiritual warfare which includes cooperative, apostolic-spiritual warfare, and walking in the mysteries of Christ in the form of wisdom and knowledge hidden in Him, which includes Christ as the living Word of God revealing truth, and our desire for the kingship and reign of Christ through us, is our mandate in such a time as this.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
 
Daniel Glimm
