Entering into the fourth stage of the experience of life to arrive at a full-grown man for the fulfillment of Gods purpose (Morning Revival) Week 6 day 5 Song of Songs 6:4 You are as beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, as terrible as an army with banners. Song of Songs 6:10 Who is this woman who looks forth like the dawn, as beautiful as the moon, as clear as the sun, as terrible as an army with banners? One figure that the Lord uses to describe the seeker is the city of Tirzah, the name of an ancient city where the palace of the king of Israel was located (1Kings 14:17; 16:17-18). At this stage the seeker is no longer merely a garden but a city. She is a large stable city that houses the King. The Lord also likens the seeking one to Jerusalem, saying that she is as lovely as Jerusalem. Tirzah was the place where the king lived, but Jerusalem was the place where God dwelt with man. Rev 21:2 reveals that the New Jerusalem will be the bride of Christ. This matches the revelation here in Song of Songs. The lover, the bride of the King is called Jerusalem. From a lily she became a garden, from a garden she became a city where the King dwells, and from a city where the King dwells, she became a city where God dwells with man. Another figure that the Lord uses in speaking of the seeking one is the dawn of the morning. The Lord asks concerning her, Who is this woman who looks forth like the Dawn? After likening the lover to many figures on the earth, the Lord compares her to the heavenly bodies. She is as beautiful as the moon and as clear as the sun. This reveals that she has become a heavenly person. Christ Himself is called the Sun of righteousness in Malachi 4:2. Now His lover has become so much like Him that she is compared to the sun. Mat 13:43 Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear.
