The Lord Jesus shall descend from heaven to take His Bride to be with Himself forever - a wonderful day is coming when we will be united forever with our heavenly Bridegroom: "And so we shall ever be with the Lord." What a beautiful love story and what reassurance it gives us to know that despite His long delay, the time is coming when we shall be with Christ Jesus forever. Let us seek to occupy ourselves until He comes and be ready so that we are not taken by surprise when we hear His voice saying: "Arise my love, my beautiful one, and come away - come up here"

What Does Song of Solomon 2:10 Mean? 

"My beloved responded and said to me, 'Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along.'" - Song of Solomon 2:10 (NASB)

There are many places in the Word of God where we discover the symbolism of the union between a man and His bride, pointing to the future marriage between Christ with the Church. 

All who have trusted in the sacrificial death of the Lord Jesus as Saviour, and His glorious Resurrection from the dead, have this special relationship with our Lord, for the Church has been chosen to be His Bride.

For the time being, we are separated from our heavenly Bridegroom, but a day has been appointed when:

"The Lord Jesus shall descend from heaven with the voice of the archangel and the trump of God." 

And we shall hear the voice of our Beloved saying: "Arise my love, my beautiful one, and come away - come up here."

A wonderful day is coming when we will be united forever with our heavenly Bridegroom, and the marriage of the Lamb will take place:

"And so we shall ever be with the Lord."

What a beautiful love story we discover in the Song of Solomon, and what reassurance it gives us to know that despite His long delay, the time is coming when we shall be with Christ Jesus forever. 

His love for His Bride and His faithfulness towards us all is never-failing, even when we may prove weary of waiting or tempted towards unfaithfulness.

Let us seek to occupy ourselves until He comes and be ready and waiting so that we are not taken by surprise when we hear His voice saying: 

"Arise my love, my beautiful one, and come away - come up here."

My Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that I am Your child and accepted in the Beloved. 

Help me to be prepared for His any day return to take me to be with Himself. 

Help me wait patiently and expectantly for the appointed time when the trumpet shall sound, and the Lord Jesus shall descend from heaven to take His Bride to be with Himself forever. 

Praise Your holy name! AMEN.

We believe that all “Scripture is given by inspiration of God,” by which we understand the whole Bible is inspired in the sense that holy men of God “were moved by the Holy Spirit” to write the very words of Scripture. We believe that this divine inspiration extends equally and fully to all parts of the writings – historical, poetical, doctrinal, and prophetical – as appeared in the original manuscripts. We believe that the whole Bible in the originals is therefore without error.

Maranatha Come Lord Jesus - JESUS is the Fountain of Life and Source of all life. He is the Living Water and the Bread of Life that came down from heaven, and the invitation to those who are thirsty is to come. Everyone is given the opportunity to freely drink of the living water - to drink without cost or payment. This is a pleading call to everyone who wishes to partake of the water of life. All who come may drink freely from its healing flood without any charge

The Beauties of Heaven - the greatest aspect of heaven is the presence of God. Heaven is like a glorified version of the good things of this world. Because of the transcendent newness of heaven we would not be able to understand a literal description of it. We get glimpses of what heaven is like, but we don’t see a detailed picture. Our worship should serve as a brief taste of the glories of being in His presence. In the Spirit, we are already seated in the heavenlies and must now continue to invite others to come in

The New Jerusalem - God does a complete make-over of heaven and earth. The new heaven and new earth are what some call the “eternal state.” God reveals the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. It is the place where God will dwell with His people forever. Inhabitants of this celestial city will have all tears wiped away. If you believe that Jesus, the Son of God, died and rose again and have asked God to save you by His grace, then you are a citizen of the New Jerusalem
