OUR LITTLE SISTER

OUR LITTLE SISTER

"We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for? If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver..." S.S 8:8-9 This song highlights a contrast. Note what the the Beloved says of herself, "I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in His eyes as one that found favour." vs.10

Breasts are used to denote maturity, and ability to nourish another.

Here is a graphic example of the difference between those Christians who develop themselves in the Nature of God, and those who do not do so.

The promises in Chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation are given to the Overcomers. They have "developed" in the Nature of Jesus.

In Psalm 22:22 we see a distinction made between "My Brethren" and "The Congregation" THIS IS IMPORTANT!

In Psalm 102:21 the same distinction is made between "Zion" and "Jerusalem". ONE IS MORE "DEVELOPED" THAN THE OTHER.

Heb 2:12 brings out the distinction, again, between the BRETHREN OF THE LORD, AND THE CHURCH. He deals with them differently.

In Psa 103:7 we read, "He made known his WAYS unto Moses, and His ACTS unto the children of Israel." God answered the prayer of Moses.

Ex 33:13 MOSES KNEW HIS WAYS--ISRAEL SAW HIS ACTS

The Psalmist prayed repeatedly that The Lord would show him HIS WAYS. See Psa 25:4 27:11 86:11 119:33

There were two main HILLS in ancient Jerusalem--MORIAH, the worship center, and ZION, the home of the King. ZION is a little higher in elevation than MORIAH is, hence it is typical of the more highly developed Christians.

"IF YE, THROUGH THE SPIRIT, DO MORTIFY (CONTROL) THE DEEDS OF THE BODY-- Rom 8:3
