Make Haste, My Beloved

We have come now to the end of the book of Song of Solomon. My preaching of it to you has been a real delight for me personally. For as I have told you many times, the truths that Solomon by the Spirit of God placed here for us, are meant to give us instruction on how we can deepen our heart relationship with Christ. The design of Christ in and through this book is for you to come to the place where you will see Him as your First Love, and that you would not leave off loving Him. Instead you will often be praying that Christ would make haste and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
What does this mean? What is being referred to, here? Well, I believe that it is evident that the Bride is longing for her Bridegroom's Coming. And I think that we can open this subject up by thinking about her words, as 1st of all – The Old Testament saints who longed for His 1st Coming in His Incarnation, and what He would do for sinners. And then, 2nd – Of all the New Testament saints who long for His 2nd Coming, where He will take us to be with Himself forever. Let us ponder what our own prayers should be, as we think about Christ's Coming.
