Out from the Wilderness

"Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness,
leaning upon her beloved?
(Song. 8:5)

The engagement period was nearing the End, Final decisions to be made
Total commitment, once the Wedding vows were made there was no turning back.

Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her."
(Hosea. 2:14)

It was time to separate her from all outward, stimuli of all the things He (Jesus) could do for her as being the queen,
All the glitter and the beauty of clothes and jewels,
The honor and authority of being first Lady,
not to mention the attention of the most handsome KING
there were certainly many things to please the flesh.

The wilderness experience was where they were cut off and separated from all the things that dazzle the eye.
It was time to look at the motives of the Heart,
to make sure Her heart was totally dedicated to Him,
that She would marry Him even if He had nothing.
