Power in the Scarlet Blood and Words of Christ
Thy lips [are] like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech [is] comely: thy temples [are] like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. (Song of Songs 4:3)
 The Song of Songs also called the Song of Solomon also known as ‘The Canticles of Canticles’ and also referred to as ‘The Book of Loves,’ is ALL about Christ. His thoughts, His victories, His accomplishments and His heart of LOVES are displayed in a most unusual manner from all the other books of the Bible. There is no other book in the Bible that can be compared to this book. It is the LOVES (the plural of love) that draws His children to this most amazing book.
  It is the eighth book in which we find the word scarlet. It also has eight chapters, and it is the twenty-second book in the Bible. Even in the numbers we have a hidden message because the number 22 is a double witness to the number 8, (8th book and 8 chapters). The hidden message is this: that within Christ and His LOVES ALL is centered, ALL revolves around this ONE of LOVES, ALL witnesses that within Him everything begins anew.
  Before we examine the word scarlet, we should explore the territory of this vast landscape of LOVES. This book of LOVES flows through dispensations, it can neither be forced into a time frame, nor is it limited to the Jew, nor to the Christian because within the very core of eternity GOD IS LOVE. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, [whether] the tender grape appear, [and] the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves. (Song of Songs 7:12) The earth is His vast vineyard. Within His vineyard are vineyards that He has planted: such as the vineyard of faith. It is ‘us‘ of Genesis 1:26, And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. In John 3:11, the Lord Jesus referred to Himself as ‘we,‘ the ‘us‘ of Song of Songs 7:12, and the ‘us‘ in Genesis 1:26. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: (John 17:22) I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. (John 17:23)
 It was in the earth that He created and planted His vineyard of LOVES. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, [whether] the tender grape appear, [and] the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves. The word ‘love’ is recorded in the Son of Songs more times than in any other book of the Old Testament. In the three epistles of John the word ‘love’ is documented twenty-eight times, and twenty-two times in the gospel of John.
  There will I give thee my loves . . . there in the vineyard God has shown us His love through the Son of His love, the Lord Jesus Christ. Through His love He was sent from heaven above. Through His love He was that holy thing in the womb of Mary. Through His love He manifested Himself among men. Through His love He healed the lame, gave sight to the blind, and raised the dead. Through His love He endured the cross. Through His love He went into the curse of death for man. Through His love He laid in the cave of death and rejection. Through His love He bore the sin of the world upon Himself. Through His love He rose with healing in His wings in new life so that those who had once hated Him could also rise with a new life. Through His love, children of the devil could become children of God. Through His love He has given eternal life to those who faced eternal death. Through His LOVES those of faith (the tender grapes appear) are born again, and through His LOVES the fruit (pomegranates bud forth) of His suffering receive everlasting life. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. (Isaiah 53:11)

Thy lips [are] like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech [is] comely: thy temples [are] like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. (Song of Songs 4:3)
  This fantastic verse opens a lifetime of LOVES within each petal of its blossom. But there is one more thing that we need to see in this verse . . . . Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, [whether] the tender grape appear, [and] the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves. (Song of Songs 7:12) The plural form of the word ‘love’ which is ‘loves’ is only documented twice in all of scripture. The first documentation is in Proverbs 7:18, Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. These words come from the lips of THE FOOLISH WOMAN, the adulterous harlot of sin. Those who live in the sin of the flesh cannot understand LOVE for they have many loves, the love of self, the love of possessions, the love of power, the love of fame and these are only few types of loves among many loves; consequently, they view and treat love as only being sexual, and self-satisfying. Whenever I hear of the words spoken in a marriage ceremony to draw two different individuals into a unified oneness with ‘as long as we both shall love,’ I already see the seeds of divorce because ‘love’ does not mean a lifetime of love to them: it means that their relationship will be based on emotions only, how one feels: on passions and moods. Marriage is built on tribulations and trials, patience, experience, and unified hope in each other. How did God display His love toward His creatures? He GAVE of HIMSELF through tribulations and trials, through suffering and redemption. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. (Isaiah 53:11) This was His LOVES to man.
  NOW, we can continue on with Thy lips [are] like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech [is] comely: thy temples [are] like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. (Song of Songs 4:3) His lips, his mouth speaks with the continuous power of the blood of Christ. Thy lips [are] like a thread of scarlet . . . as the first thread of scarlet was placed on the son of Judah from Tamar, so this thread of scarlet found its completion through the lips of Christ (the root and offspring of David, the Lion of the tribe of Judah) when He uttered, It is finished. From His lips streamed the words of truth and grace that burned into the hearts and souls of those who were in spiritual distress and indebted to God, and discontented and miserable in their skins of sin and death. And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him. The two on the road to Emmaus (Emmaus means ‘in earnest longing’) were earnestly longing for the hope that they had trusted in. Their hearts were torn in confusion and sorrow that the One whom they had trusted would be their salvation had been put to death. They were distressed. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. (Luke 24:21)
Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: (Luke 24:25) Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? (Luke 24:26) And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:27)
And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? (Luke 24:32)
  His speech is comely, it is perfectly sublime, it is flawless in its perfection because His words are the Words from the lips of God Himself . . . Thy lips [are] like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech [is] comely. I am so tempted to continue in the Song of Loves, because within each word there is beauty that burns with the LOVES of God IN Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit has allowed us to smell the sweetness from only one petal from the many blossoms that He planted in His garden because His garden of grace and truth is always open to us.
• A garden inclosed [is] my sister, [my] spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. (Song of Songs 4:12)
• Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, [that] the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits. (Song of Songs 4:16)
• I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. (Song of Songs 5:1)
• My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. (Song of Songs 6:2)
• I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, [and] to see whether the vine flourished, [and] the pomegranates budded. (Song of Songs 6:11)
