Isa. 66:10-11

10 Rejoice [samach] ye with Jerusalem [Yaruwshalaim], and be glad [giyl] with her, all ye that love ['ahab] her: rejoice [suws] for joy [masows] with her, all ye that mourn ['abal] for her:

11 That ye may suck [yanaq], and be satisfied [saba`] with the breasts [shad] of her consolations [tanchuwm]; that ye may milk out [matsats], and be delighted [`anag] with the abundance [ziyz] of her glory [kabowd]. KJV-Interlinear

10 Be joyful with Jerusalem and rejoice for her, all you who love her; Be exceedingly glad with her, all you who mourn over her, 11 That you may nurse and be satisfied with her comforting breasts, That you may suck and be delighted with her bountiful bosom. NASB

Jerusalem is a city. It was originally called Salem, back in Abraham s day, and its leader was Melchizedek, the King and Priest of Salem, the pattern of Christ s eventual title.

The meaning of Jerusalem, is the City of Peace. Peace represents the ultimate goal of the spiritual life, and the result of studying and learning Bible doctrine, and advancing to spiritual maturity. Bible doctrine then, is the source of that advancement, the spiritual food, if you will, which nourishes the human soul to its ultimate health and objective of spiritual growth to maturity.

The center of Jerusalem is represented by Mt. Zion. Mt. Zion represents the vast mountain of Bible doctrine, which is the foundation of all life and truth.

Once a person has advanced to spiritual maturity, they experience a completeness in life, and this completeness manifests itself in phenomenal happiness.

Therefore, rejoice in her is the representative statement and ultimate emotion of the spiritually mature person. Your life is not found from within the source of yourself, but from the source of Bible doctrine, which you have accumulated within your soul, as a result of your persistence in your daily study.

For those who have persisted in their spiritual life and of whom have advanced to spiritual maturity, there is a rejoicing in having attained a complete life.

For those who have ignored their spiritual life, but at least they, at one time in their life, believed in Christ and are saved, and therefore are in mourning over their lack of Jerusalem in their soul, lack of spiritual maturity, there will still be a rejoicing in heaven. In heaven there will be no more sorrow, no more tears, no more pain, no more of the old pressures and problems of the former life. So everyone wins in doctrine.

Rejoicing will be the status quo for all who advance to heaven, whether spiritually immature or mature.

The nourishment of life comes through Bible doctrine. In human terminology, this is symbolized by the female breasts. Of all of the human anatomy, the female breasts have more meaning and receive more attention than virtually any other body part.

Throughout history, the breasts have come to portray sustenance, protection, love, passion, nourishment, softness, affection, sensitivity, longing, besides being the source of a baby s initial food for life. Here the breasts are symbolized as the longing and long term desire and provision of Bible doctrine.

Everything that one could want or need, can be supplied by means of Bible doctrine. The softness and affection and satisfaction and desires and completeness that humanity has defined in the human female breasts, is all wrapped up in Bible doctrine.

The human body parts are of course biological and have only a temporary life. Bible doctrine provides for all of ones needs and desires, even passions, and lasts forever.

Just as mothers milk becomes immediately available when an infant is born, to the infants delight, so too, when you were re-born into the spiritual life by means of your faith in Jesus Christ, Bible doctrine became readily available and in great quantities, for your growth toward the fullness of your life.

Now is the time to post a prayer.
