"RESOLUTION" -x3

 "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense." (S.O.S. 4:6)

  Now I am more convinced that it was not just me, but that it is the work of the Holy Spirit; nut or not, if God can speak through the mouth of a jackass, He can speak through any one of His children. This is not the spouse, this is none other than God speaking; as He alone is the one who says what it is He will or will not do! We are not able to say with any sort of certainty what we will do or where we will go; let alone even begin to assume we know what will happen after we go to or do anything. As James reminds us, if we even try to pretend this is possible, it is sin, because only God has the the authority to say, "I will." (James 4:13-17)

  Besides, this is spoken with passion and purpose; whereas, as this was a song written before Jesus was crucified, the mountain of myrrh represents the pain and sadness of the climb; that which was to be the work to the cross! Yes, that is what I said, the work! You cannot begin to even imagine the work that went into getting that all to happen, as it happen, when it happen, and how every little detail fell into place. And yes, we can assume that God could just predict it because He knew it, but He still carried it all out, despite many different forms of opposition; He just gets things done! Like that song says, "Even when I don't think You're working, You are always working!" 

  The hill of frankincense represents the hill of gladness, that which happens to take place when Jesus dies on the cross, as the access to God is no longer blocked, and the inner and outer court was no more; the veil was torn in two, from top to bottom. As Moses went up to the mountain, there is no more a mountain, but just a simple hill; a place where God is present and accessible; just as Jesus would be sitting on a hill teaching the multitudes, so would our access be to fellowship with God. This is what was done on the cross; that "day 2" not so good thing was destroyed, once and for all; no more was God and man separated and kept apart by sin, because the power of sin was destroyed! 

  I can only guess what comes next. Please, Rinse and Repeat, again...

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." (Romans 1:16-17)
