The Final Love-Making.
The BRIDEGROOM speaks love to his bride.
“Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, With me from Lebanon. Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Senir and Hermon, From the lions' dens, From the mountains of the leopards.”
The bridegroom invites his beloved bride to enter the equivalent of heaven on earth with him as they make love together, visualized in terms of taking her to the great mountains of Lebanon, in the places where the lions have their dens and the mountain leopards freely roam, places of grandeur and isolation, far from the gaze of men, where they are free to do what they wish. There they will be able, as it were, to look down on the world as they enjoy their lovemaking.
So does our Lord, having united us with Himself (Romans 6:5), invite His people up into the equivalent of Heaven itself to share with Him in His glory (Ephesians 2:4-6; Philippians 3:20; Colossians 1:13; Colossians 3:1-3). He wants us in His presence in heavenly places.
