Time for Love
There is a proper timing for love.
Particularly love making. Or as Solomon in his love Song puts it, there is a time to rose love and for each one to “Drink their fill of love”. Solomon’s song of songs 5:1
Love is drunk in by the husband as she loves him. She then is satisfied because she want to love him and express her love to him. And he drinks his fill of love, Song 5:1 in receiving it from her in so many ways. He is satisfied in receiving and she is satisfied in giving.
Also,
She drinks her fill of love in receiving it from him. And he drinks his fill of love in giving. For he also had a desire to show love to her and once he expresses his eros land benevolent love to her in as much as he desired then he also is satisfied in the giving of his affections to her in the most intimate of ways.
So, both Solomon and Naamah both drank their fill of love on their wedding night in both giving and receiving of love.
So, both the messiah and his bride both drank their fill of love in both the giving and receiving of love on their wedding night, when she “roused him”
——-
Naahmah reminisces about 3 things. The location where she roused him.
The location of where he was conceived.
The location of where Bathsheba gave him birth.
“Under the apple tree I roused you; there your mother conceived you, there she who was in labor gave you birth.” Song 8:5
Notice the command is to not do this, not arouse love till the proper time. They were married when she says this, and the command came twice before their marriage and once after. Twice when virgins and then again you don’t rouse love ever until the proper time. When both are ready.
“by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.”
In God’s Name don’t arouse or awaken love until it desires. This is a strong warning or charge to all and the daughters of Jerusalem.
Basically, she is calling them to full chastity until marriage..
Now, obviously she did not rouse his benevolent and eros love in the same place Solomon was conceived and also under the exact same tree where Solomon’s mother gave him physical birth. So, we take “under the apple tree” to be a metaphor for the private part of a woman. Specifically, the vagina.
Naahmah lets us know that it was her mother that taught her about love and how to love her husband.
“I would lead you and bring you Into the house of my mother, who used to instruct me” Song 8:2
I would like to have a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ my heavenly Bridegroom. Solomon’s Song of Songs is a love poem meant to help us get a right idea of love. Love has a tendency to unite hearts. Love… and more intimacy by it.
I’m thinking that if I know what intimacy is and what intimacy with Jesus Christ was then I would desire it with Him with more resolve and vigor. What am I missing? What joy, what delight, what sweet sweet fellowship at a more intimate level than before.!.!
Can we see the joy, delight and level of intimacy grow in the union of God’s Messiah and a born again Gentile, Ammonite, Naahmah?
Are there similarities between the growing level of intimacy in marriage that is similar to a growing level of intimacy with our heavenly Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, who proved his love by suffering in her place bearing her sins in his/His body on the cross, dying, and resurrected on the 3 rd day. “It was finished” as Jesus said in John. The primary work of love to the Father and His bride was finished. At least the most difficult part of the Son’s work to present to Himself a perfect Bride that reflects his/His glory. ( I say hIs/His because Jesus was both 100 percent man and 100 percent God. And out of her love to YHWH (God) she loves and sweetly obeys her husband/Husband.)
When would you godly women talk to your daughters about love and chastity?
Some of the subjects of Israel came to Naamah when she was mature and asked her a question about their sister who was not yet a woman.
“We have a little sister,
And she has no breasts;
What shall we do for our sister
On the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
We will build on her a battlement of silver;
But if she is a door,
We will barricade her with planks of cedar.” Song 8:8-9.
They want to know what they should do for her on the day of her wedding or wedding night or engagement. Whenever they believed a woman was spoken for. A wall gets praise and decoration and a door gets boarded up with cedar.
It seems here that her brother’s have something to do with the girl keeping her chastity.
Why do you think they want to know what to do with their sister before her breasts were formed?
At what age would you use s Solomon’s Song of songs with your daughter to help her understand love, eros love, chastity and marriage?
How would you share with her.
How much would you share?
