That begs a few questions now doesn’t it. May I just tell you, that bed is your heart and further collectively the Church’s Heart. Guarded by no less than sixty valiant God wrestlers all with the sword of the spirit who have your back and are trained and teach spiritual warfare. How do I know that for sure, the Song of Songs explains it because of the fear of the night.
Behold his bed, which is Solomon’s; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
Song of Solomon 3:8-9
Within each of those words is a nugget for your rest. Solomon the Prince of Peace, David’s Son the Bridegroom of the church. Jesus, “if God is for you who can be against”. Three Score, (60) the number is the Hebrew letter Samech and it means to surround and to protect here are the Samech verses in the 119th Psalm.
113 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
Psalms 119:113-120 Samech Section
The Valiant of Israel – meaning God Wrestlers -prayer warriors. They all hold the sword of the spirit which is the word of God. The word translated experts in Hebrew also means teachers.
The sword upon their thigh is their flank – from a military point of view they protect the flank or in common terms they have your back.
The fear of the night – rulers of darkness.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12
How cool is that, I can sure sleep better.
