"The Cooing of His doves"


Posted on Rody’s & Informed Christian’s YouTube pages but I know many Doves are enraptured with the Song of Songs as a resource and this ties several things together wonderfully, enjoy:

 

Oh, how I love the sound of the Cooing of Doves!  All the 'buzz' around these times which we are part of, is described, by our Bridegroom, as the "cooing of doves" being "heard in our land" (SoS 2:12).  What is even BETTER is that the “cooing of the doves”, itself, is ONE OF THE THINGS TO LOOK FOR in watching for His coming!   Follow this unpacking of a Song of Solomon Rapture connection: 

 

Matt. 16:4 (NIV): "A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except THE SIGN OF JONAH." Jesus then left them and went away." 

 

Jonah means DOVE.  As we unpack the many layers of this revelation by our Lord, ONE of them to look for is the sign of the Dove, the ONLY one given now.

 

Now peer into Song of Songs 2.  Picking relevant spots for brevity, look at the connection to the dove and the season, (emphasis MINE in spots):

(She):  My beloved spoke and said to me, “ARISE, my darling, my beautiful one, COME WITH ME.    11  See!  The WINTER IS PAST …   12 the COOING OF THE DOVES IS HEARD IN OUR LAND … 13 ARISE, COME, my darling; my beautiful one, COME WITH ME.”

(He):  14 My DOVE IN THE CLEFTS OF THE ROCK, …

Notice ONE dove hiding in cleft S?  How does one dove hide in several places at once?  His dove, His bride, is His Body, existing, at once, in His believers, everywhere, hidden in the cleft which HE PUT THEM INTO! :

Ex 33:22 (NIV)  When my glory passes by, I WILL PUT YOU IN A CLEFT IN THE ROCK and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.

So, we are His doves, hidden by Him in the cleft in the rock which is Christ, until he passes by and we are called to ‘Arise’ and ‘Come’.  Our watching and speaking together about the signs and diligently babbling on about every little nugget and detail of our Wise Men Journey is, to His ears, “the cooing of (His) doves being heard in our land”.  He tells us to be excited to SEE that Summer is HERE, yay!  He tells us to hear the ‘cooing of (His) doves” and SEE that it is PROOF that summer is hear and He is nigh!  Get that?  Our very labor of love here at Five Doves and everywhere else, is cited BY OUR LORD as EVIDENCE of the SEASON WE ARE IN and that His Spirit is moving amongst us to stir us to His impending arrival!   Well, I think that those of us truly on this Wise Men Journey are very, very excited indeed!

Cooing until His soon return!   Jimboni
