Song of Songs 2:4 He brought me to his banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
My Lover, my Friend, my Bridegroom, my Husband.promises to bring me into His banqueting house for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in His Kingdom. There we shall celebrate and feast forever without end. Right now we are living in engagement promise waiting for the Day. “In him when you also heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, we’re sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it [Ephesians 1:13-14].”
Meanwhile, we enjoy a “foretaste of the feast” every time we receive the Gospel in Word and Sacrament. All of life is lived under the banner if His Love. He wraps me in His Flag for protection, service, tender loving care, provision, nourishment, and all the rich blessings of mighty power and intimate love. With the strong name of the Lord of Armies with us, who can be against us? With His banner over us, the Lord earnestly desires us to REST IN HIS LOVE!
