Title: Promise of Meeting/Song 4:6
Contents Promise of meeting/Song 4:6
“I will go to the hill of myrrh and the hill of frankincense before the sun goes down and the shadow disappears” (Song 4:6).
First, you need to know when to meet. “When the sun goes down and the shadows go” This word means 'when it gets dark', and it refers to the time when the sun goes down and the sun and shade disappear, and the shadows disappear.
When the truth of God is present in the world, righteousness and unrighteousness are distinguished, good and evil, sin and righteousness, neo-capitalism and humanism are distinguished. It means that everyone will lose their light and become an age without discernment. In the last days when the truth is hidden, sin is pervasive, the church is corrupted, and society is corrupted, it is telling us where to meet the beloved Lord.
Now we need to find the meeting point. “I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense.” The Lord is saying that he will go there, but the mountain of myrrh is spiritually symbolizing 'Golgotha'.
It symbolizes the hill of Golgotha, where the Lord was crucified to save the world from corruption due to sin.
Therefore, the mountain of myrrh means the place where we sacrifice all of our possessions and our lives for our own salvation, that is, the place where we take up the cross, just as the Lord took up the cross. That is the place to meet the Lord. If you avoid the cross, there is no way to meet the Lord.
The 'mountain of frankincense' means the Garden of Gethsemane. Frankincense symbolizes the prayers of the saints. When the truth is hidden and sin is pervasive, who can light the lamp of faith and meet the Lord, the bridegroom?
Just as 'Nathanael' was able to meet the Lord by having the spirit of prayer under the fig tree at the end of the Old Testament, at a time of turbidity and religious darkness, even today, the Lord meets people who constantly build an altar of prayer.
However, in the text, the word 'little mountain' means small, in the singular, without name, without light, and regardless of fame, the Lord and his own private closet are where prayers continue.
Dear saints, Who will be able to meet the Lord who is the bridegroom in the last days? A person who carries his cross, a person who constantly keeps the closet of prayer, this person will become the main character of happiness who will meet the Lord and share love with the Lord.
