Song of Solomon 7:11 SHEPHERDESS: My beloved and I will [live] out [our lives] in the fields. [We'd rather die than rot in your gold-plated jail.] We'll thrive in [our humble] village, [far away from your palace of madness].
2nd Samuel 7:7 —In all the places I've ‘walked’ with all the sons of Israel, did I say one word to any of the tribal [chiefs] of Israel — whom I commanded to feed my people Israel — [did I] ask [them,] ‘Why aren't you building me a cedar house?’ [No!] note: So it is inconceivable that the Creator would authorize any church to go into debt to build a building. Run screaming from any church that tries to get you to pledge to pay their debt!
Real Christianity happens in the streets, not in whitewashed tombs.
Psalms 37:16 The little [wealth] of the righteous man beats the opulent [riches] of all the [world's] wicked hordes, 😇.
JeremiYAH 48:6 Flee, [refugees]! Save your lives. Subsist like desert bushes.
Song of Solomon 1:17 [The disembodied voice of the shepherdess floats through her vision:]
[SHEPHERDESS:] Our roof [is built of living branches of] cedar-trees. Our [wall] panels [are live] cypresses.
[She looks up past the shepherd-boy kissing her cheek. She sees cedar and fir branches swaying in the breeze.] note: panels = gutters.
