Elul Day 10
It is believed that during the month of Elul the King comes down off his throne and enters the field where he greets and makes himself available to His subjects. The King is in the field and in this verse, we read about Him affirming his love for the Shulamite.
Song of Songs 1:9 "I have compared you, my love, to my filly among Pharaoh's chariots."
Try comparing your loved one to a horse and see what kind of reaction you get. However, to King Solomon, who was well acquainted with Pharaoh's chariots and horses, he knew they were the finest in the world. Pharaoh only used the fastest, strongest, most powerful steeds and contrary to Torah's command Solomon bought many from Egypt.
Song of Songs 1:10 "Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, your neck with chains of gold. 11) We will make you ornaments of gold with studs of silver."
We know that Song of Songs is about Yeshua, the King, and the Beloved, His Bride, the body of Messiah, therefore we can understand that the "We" in verse 11 is referring to what the "US" refers to in:
Genesis 1:26 "Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…"
The "We" like the "US" appears to represent the Godhead, the Triune Nature of God. We know that gold is a symbol of deity and silver a symbol of redemption. We learned this from our lessons on "Yeshua in the Tabernacle." The Beloved being adorned in gold and silver can, therefore, represent the Bride of Messiah bearing God's Character, which is His redemption.
Yeshua wants to affirm His love for us. He does not see His Bride as weak flesh but rather He sees her as fast, strong and powerful, like one of Pharaoh's horses and He sees her adorned in His God-like Character of redemption.
Do not put it off for another day; put on the Character of God and His redemption this tenth day of Elul.
Yours in Messiah Yeshua our Lord, our God, our soon coming King
