Making an Entry!!! Song of Songs 3-4

Song of Songs 3:6-8 (ESV Strong's)
What is that coming up from the wilderness
like columns of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
with all the fragrant powders of a merchant?
Behold, it is the litter of Solomon!
Around it are sixty mighty men,
some of the mighty men of Israel,
all of them wearing swords
and expert in war,
each with his sword at his thigh,
against terror by night.

Making an Entry!!

When some people enter the room they simply walk in.  When others enter the room they make and ENTRY!!!   The above passage is from the “brides” point of view as the “groom” (Solomon) makes an ENTRY.   In our modern day weddings it is the bride who makes the entry.  All eyes are on the bride.   But,  for the church, we are the bride.  Christ is the “groom.”  It is Christ that will make the entry.  Although the above image is truly the real story of Solomon and his bride’s courtship and wedding, the word pictures we see are very much images of what will happen on the day that Christ appears.  Notice that Solomon shows up with an entourage, so, too, Christ will come with the Saints who have passed before in death.   Solomon shows up with armed soldiers.  So, too, will Christ arrive with angels ready to destroy those who rejected Christ.   The above is a picture of making a firm entry for the one you love.   To capture her and take her to the grooms new home.  So, too, Christ is coming again to take us to a home to be with Him forever:

John 14:1-2 (ESV Strong's)
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?

We need to be looking forward, like the bride, for His return.   Note:

Revelation 6:1-2 (ESV Strong's)
The Seven Seals
Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
