Song of Solomon

Commentary for verse 2:16 when Shulamite enters heaven: Shulamite realizes for the first time what it means when God says that He is a sovereign God (Rom 8:18-39). He chooses who He will choose. Shulamite asks, why me? What made me so special? Jesus knows her thoughts and comes to her. He always knows our every thought. He explains that it wasn’t what she did, but her openness to be made in the likeness of her Savior. It wasn’t your belief, or your faith, or your trust, or your devotion. In yourself you could never be My bride. No, I need someone who is willing to surrender themselves and trust in Me. I am still the Shepherd that feeds My flock and need you to be my shepherdess, becoming my partner in all things. We will continue to serve and not be served. With the unity of our love we will transform the world. You learned to listen to the Holy Spirit’s leading and seek to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Your commitment wouldn’t do it; it was the Holy Spirit that continued to give you the grace to seek My face. It wasn’t your will, but the Holy Spirit gave You My Father’s will. He convicted you to believe until you learned to trust and obey for there was no other way. No, My love, it wasn’t what you did, but who you are. You identified with My image and conformed to My mind and My heart. I am so pleased with you. You have given Me your all, your spirit, soul and body. You will be My partner to bring greater glory to My Father’s kingdom. You were ordained and anointed for this purpose. I remember our wedding vows. I vowed to never let you go and to provide for you eternally. I never lie or go back on My promises (Heb 6:18). You, My beloved, have already shown yourself to rule in integrity and to stand on My promises. But know, My beloved, for all you have learned, you have seven years with Me in heaven that will require a deeper revelation in order to lead My next generation people in the Millennium. I have faith for you and that is all that is required. I am responsible to prepare you for the work that is ahead. I will never fail you. You will fulfill the destiny that My Father has ordained for you. You are My beloved.

Although you were transformed from an earthly suit to a glorified body, you have arrived with the same spirit and soul (mind, will and emotions) that you had yesterday. The only way to change our soul is to experience change within ourselves and that can only be experienced through learning the truth. This is holy ground where Satan cannot tread. Even though Satan is not here, our minds have to be trained to deny self and embrace ONLY divine love, always walking in humility. The loving warmth and peace you feel is the presence of God. I will be here with you during these seven years and your instructors have been carefully chosen; they are both angels and saints. You are being prepared over these seven years to go back to earth to rule and reign with Me. I chose you for this position before the foundation of the earth. The truth doesn’t change from the instructions of the Word of God that you had on earth. We are still to receive love in order to pour it out. As I told Peter, the job is to feed My lambs. We must have a listening ear, eyes to see, and a kind and affectionate heart to show the love that others will want to receive. You are My partner to instill My love and comfort. There is no condemnation or guilt. We must laugh and be playful, showing the joy in My heart to twirl and dance and sing.

Jesus stands to the right of his Father and gives all the glory to Him. He tells Shulamite that it was His Father that made all things possible. He created you for this very purpose. All the tribulations you went through are all over and now it is time to see the true love of a Father. In our humanness we looked to a father that was imperfect. The feelings of warmth and comfort that have come over you now are His love and peace. His plan allowed you to come to Me in your weakness and be made whole. Everything you experienced on earth was to prepare you to be My partner as we rule and reign over the Millennium. The Father then speaks and embraces His children and lets them know how grateful He is that they accepted His adoption proposal to become His kingdom people. He thanks them for accepting His Son when so many rejected Him. My Son’s love for you was so great that He was pleased to pay the bride price with His life on the cross to bring you here today. I have watched you love Him as the deer pants for the water brooks that your soul thirsted for Him. You prayed and fasted for this time and I want you to know that We, the Trinity, heard your every prayer. My greatest pleasure was to see My Son reward you for every time you sought Me, praised and worshipped Me and My goodness, and believed that I would be faithful. It will be My greatest pleasure to see My Son share with you His inheritance of the Kingdom of God. Know that another day is coming soon when My people Israel will turn to My Son and see Him as their long awaited Messiah. My plan is culminating and there is only time for celebration in My kingdom. Now, know that I have always been there for you and you can come to Me at any time. I made creation exactly that way.

Shulamite remembers the thoughts she had as she came to heaven, My beloved is mine, and I am his! She has seen life eternal. She has seen the glory of God.
