(Son 2:14) O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the

stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy

voice, and thy countenance is comely.

The symbolism of the dove is nthe the word of god is always see in the person of the Holy Spirit

But here in this passage the Bride is referred to as a dove by the Bridegroom

This should be a large stretch with the fact that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit

NOTES

(Son 2:14) O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the

stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy

voice, and thy countenance is comely.

followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

us sit together in heavenly places in Christ

Jesus:

(Son 2:14) O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the

stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy

voice, and thy countenance is comely.

The word translated “stairs” also means “latter”

So we compare scripture with scripture and comes to a place in Genesis where Jacob as a dream ….

(Gen 28:10) And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.

(Gen 28:11) And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all

night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place,

and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

(Gen 28:12) And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the

earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending

on it.

(Joh 1:48) Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I

saw thee.(Joh 1:49) Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God;

thou art the King of Israel.(Joh 1:50) Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou

shalt see greater things than these.(Joh 1:51) And he saith unto him, Verily,

verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon

the Son of man.

(Son 2:14) O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the

stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy

voice, and thy countenance is comely.

(Psa 71:8) Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour

ever and ever. (Php 4:6) Be careful for nothing; but

spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

(Joh 15:1) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

(Joh 15:2) Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and

every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth

more fruit.(Joh 15:3) Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto

you.(Joh 15:4) Abide in me, and I in you.

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

(Heb 12:1) Wherefore seeing we also are

compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,

let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily

beset us, and let us run with patience the race that

is set before us,

spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

have given them; that they may be one, even as we are

one:

(Son 2:16) My beloved is mine, and I am his: he

feedeth among the lilies.

(Rev 1:20) The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my

right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches:

and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven

churches.

(Rev 2:1) Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the

seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

(Psa 45:1) To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim,

for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My

pen of a ready writer.

mountains of Bether.

the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor

branch.

(Mal 4:2) But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as

calves of the stall.

(2Pe 1:19) We have also a more sure word of

prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as

unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day

dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

(Son 2:17) Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the

mountains of Bether.

Mountains in the word of God are a type for nations (ie Gog, Ezk. 38 and 39, Samaria(Amos 6:1).

NOTES

(Eze 35:2-3) Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and

the south.
