Psalm 45:10-12 KJV
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
[11] So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
[12] And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
Clearly Psalm 45 depicts a wedding scenario, of course a wedding between a male and a female, and the latter is always expected to leave her father’s house to join her groom.
There are many more of such a analogies where the Bible makes use of the example of bride and groom, probably because it is the most common and yet oldest institution; marriage.
The beauty of the bride is deeply entrenched in her righteousness, not necessarily the externals. And this same attribute produces the sweet fragrance the king loves to smell and so cannot ignore His bride. (see v7-9)
Indeed the King is coming and will He find faith on the earth?
Will He find His bride (You and I) faithful?
Have a blessed Friday.
