The desire of families was that they would be chosen to introduce the redeemer of the world with their offspring, especially when they heard the prophecy of Isaiah (Is7:14). And God answered the prayers for the redeemer, the four gospels record the birth of Jesus Christ the Messiah (Mt1:18). God has a reputation for answering prayers (ps68:18-19), David said that if he had remained in sin God would not have listened to his prayers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Songs of Songs 5:1<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I am come&nbsp;into my garden,&nbsp;my sister,&nbsp;<em>my<\/em>&nbsp;spouse:&nbsp;I have gathered&nbsp;my myrrh&nbsp;with my spice;&nbsp;I have eaten&nbsp;my honeycomb&nbsp;with my honey;&nbsp;I have drunk&nbsp;my wine&nbsp;with my milk:&nbsp;eat,&nbsp;O friends;&nbsp;drink,&nbsp;yea, drink abundantly,&nbsp;O beloved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The book of Song of Songs is a writing of Solomon reflecting the esteem for each in a dialog. It is a prophetic book.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In this chapter of Songs in the prophetic tense Jesus Christ makes his introduction to the world and unto his disciples lives; the garden, the pillars of the church. Jesus makes men his garden where he planted the seed of his word (Mt13:3). And in the garden there grows plants and trees no matter the sized of the seed; of we see the mustard seed. As this blind man who sees men as trees confirming the garden of the Lord(Mk8:23-24). Jesus&#8217; birth was introduced with spices and myrrh (Mt2:11). Jesus calls his church his brothers and sisters(He2:11), but then he calls her his wife; the church is his bride (rev19:7). After the wedding of the Lord and the church, their voices will never be heard again on earth (rev18:23). The last phrase of the above verse is a reflection of the death and resurrection of Christ. At the garden of Gethsemane Jesus tells the father to pass the cup from him, but only if he wants too (Mt26:39). And, after he rises from the dead Jesus meets with his the disciples on the beach and once they come ashore (Jh21:12), he invites them to eat.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"poetry top-05\">\n<div class=\"poetry\">\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 col-lg-4\">\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"padding-top: 10px;
