“Come away, My beloved,
and be like a gazelle or a young deer upon the mountains of spices!” (Song of
Songs 8:14)
God’s final words in
this Song of Songs reiterate His plea to Israel for her
return to Him. God’s love urges her to flee the darkness of the exile in ego’s
fantasies and illusions among the nations, and haste as “gazelles” and “harts”
to ascend up to the mountains of spices, where one of these excels as the
summit of the Temple of Jerusalem as the symbol of Israel’s eternal bond with
God.
These are the sublime
fragrances emanated from the new guidelines as the traits and qualities of the
new consciousness God promised Israel after His final redemption, to begin
fathoming the endless dimensions of His creation.
“He does great things, unfathomable; and wondrous works
without number.” (Job
9:10)
In the times of king
Solomon, Israel brought the nations to her. In the Jewish final redemption, Israel
will bring the nations to the Creator, for the Messianic consciousness unfolds
in the infinite knowledge of God.
“The world was made for
the Messiah.” (Talmud, Sanhedrin
98b)
“Come, house of Jacob, and let us walk in the light
of the Lord.” (Isaiah 2:5)
May this be very soon
and in our times! Amen.
