Hi John,

 

Here's some more interesting things that popped out at me while using the Strong's function;

 

 

<< Song of Solomon 7 >> King James Bible with Strong's Numbers   1 How beautiful are thy feet with shoes O prince's daughter the joints of thy thighs are like jewels the work of the hands of a cunning workman 2 Thy navel is like a round goblet which wanteth not liquor thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies 3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins 4 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon by the gate of Bathrabbim thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus 5 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel and the hair of thine head like purple the king is held in the galleries 6 How fair and how pleasant art thou O love for delights 7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree and thy breasts to clusters of grapes 8 I said I will go up to the palm tree I will take hold of the boughs thereof now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine and the smell of thy nose like apples 9 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved that goeth down sweetly causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak 10 I am my beloved's and his desire is toward me 11 Come my beloved let us go forth into the field let us lodge in the villages 12 Let us get up early to the vineyards let us see if the vine flourish whether the tender grape appear and the pomegranates bud forth there will I give thee my loves 13 The mandrakes give a smell and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits new and old which I have laid up for thee O my beloved

 

 

Was I surprised, after having done a search for Damascus, to find that it appears in "the rapture chapter" of Song of Solomon. Again, can this be coincedence?

Now, look at vs. 4

There's "long-suffering" and "countenance" for nose AND

 

WHICH LOOKETH TOWARD = behold, espy, look up, wait for, (keep the), watch(-man)

(...which looketh toward (the burden of the word of the Lord for Damascus!!) for the time of our departure!

 

Also, of course I made a lame, ridiculous error the other night that I posted to Five Doves; 1948 + 70 = 2018, of course!  I'm seriously useless after that many hours awake, but I was SO excited about finding something new - still am.

By the way, thank you Bre for your comments....if you hadn't written in, I may have started to wonder if I 'd made any sense at all. I was hoping that others would be able to add something to this find, or maybe find something further in this chapter (or book). In case some of you can't locate the Strong's function on the website, it's right above the tabs near the top of the page, just to the left of "KJV". Click on "KJS" for King James Version with Strong's definitions. Here it is again:

Song of Solomon Chapter 7;

 

9 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved that goeth down sweetly causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak

 

Scroll over wine, you'll see not just wine, but "banqueting" wine.

 

YSIC,
