    I remember when I first read Song of Solomon, my very soul was a helpless captive, and I fell in love with Christ. Although I didn't understand many of the verses, I couldn't stay away from this treasure chest of love 💓 today after 7 years of this discovery, I'm spending a whole 30 days in this love song, and I pray and hope to walk more closely to the One whom my soul loveth. I pray God to meet with me there and to kiss me with the kisses of His mouth, for His love is better than wine 🍷. Its our 7 year anniversary, I was baptized May 7, 2017 and got my first bible the day before. Praise God for His precious love toward such a sinner 😂🎉❤

    Genesis 40:5-23❤ "5 And one night they both dreamed- the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison- each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation. 6 When Joseph😊❤ came to them in the morning, he( Joseph😊❤) saw that they were troubled. 7 So he(Joseph😊❤ ) asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, " Why are your face downcast today?" 8 They said to him( Joseph), " We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them." And Joseph😊❤ said to them, " Do not interpretation belongs to God(😊100%❤) please tell them to me." 9 So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him( Joseph), " In my dream there was a vine before me, 10 and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossome shot forth, and the cluster ripened into grapes. 11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand." 12 Then Joseph said to him, " This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days." Pause in Genesis 40:13a "13( a) In three days(3 days😊❤, Do you also know that our Lord and our savior Jesus has risen from the dead in 3 days too? Or should i ask speaking of " three days"( fromGenesis 40:13a ESV Study Bible) , it remind the following Scriptures too in Christ. Matthew 12:40 "40 " 40 For just as Jonah was three days and three night in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man( " Son of Man" = Jesus😊1st❤) be three(3) days😊❤ and three(3) nights😊❤ in the heart of the earth."( Matthew 12:40 ESV Study Bible. Under the context of Matthew 12:38-42(The sign of Jonah😊❤). Focus on "..three days" from Genesis 40:13a) lead to under the context of Mark 8:31-9:1( Jesus😊1st❤ foretells his death and( his) resurrection ) in Scriptures of Mark 8:31 "31 And he(Jesus😊1st❤) began to teach😊❤ them❤ that the Son of Man( " Son of Man" = Jesus😊1st❤= 100% man and 100% God too( John 1:1-2😊❤ and Isaiah 9:6, 9:6b( Mighty God😊❤)) must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed and after three( 3) days😊❤ rise again."( Mark 8:31😊❤ ESV Study Bible) Under Luke 9:21-22( Jesus😊1st❤ foretells his death) The Bible said in Luke 9:22 "22 saying, " The Son of Man( " Son of Man " = Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ) must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on😊❤ the third( 3rd) day😊❤ be raised😊❤."( Luke 9:22 ESV Study Bible). John 2:19 "19 Jesus😊1st❤ answered them, " Destroy this temple and in three(3😊❤) days😊❤ I will raise😊❤ it it up😊❤."( John 2:19 ESV Study Bible)( Jesus had forshadowing his own death as the temple and three say he will raise it up from the dead that what he meant i think in Christ). Again focus on three days(from Genesis 40:13a) lead me think in Christ in Under Acts 10:34-43( Gentiles hear the Good News) the Bible said in Acts 10:40 "40 but God (😊100%❤) raised 😊❤ him( Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ) on the third( 3rd😊❤) day😊❤ and make him(Jesus😊1st❤) to appear, "( Act 10:40ESV Study Bible) 1Corinthians 15:1-10( The Resurrection of Christ( Jesus😊1st❤) will share this at end with us in Christ😊❤. ) Back to Genesis 40:13again C "13 In three days(3 days😊❤, Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer. 14 Only remember me😊❤ , when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness😊❤ to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house. 15 For I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews😊❤ , and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit." 16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to the Joseph, " I also had a dream; there were three cake baskets on my head. 17 and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head." 18 And Joseph answered and said, " This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days. 19 In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head- from you! - and hang you on a tree( Do you also remember our savior Jesus (😊1st❤) was hang on a cross( a tree) more than 2000 year ago too? But good thing Jesus😊1st❤ ( he) has risen(Matthew 28:7😊❤) and the bird will eat the flesh from you." 20 On the third days, which was Pharaoh' birthsay, he made a feast for all his servants and lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. 21 He restored the chief cupbearer😊❤ to his position, and he place the cup in Pharaoh's hand. 22 But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph(😊❤) had interpreted to them. 23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him."( Genesis 41:13-22 above and also Genesis 40:5-23 ESV Study Bible. All parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ too and love God😊100%❤ and love His people 😊❤ in mind in Christ😊❤. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11( The Resurrection of Christ(Jesus😊1st❤)) 😊❤ and Speaking of a dream, Matthew 28:19-20😊❤

    God hates sin. He is just, and therefore has to punish sin and sinners. Otherwise He wouldn’t be just. But He is also gracious and merciful. God sent His only Son to pay the fine for our transgressions. His wrath was spent and poured out. Not avoided or cancelled. It was placed on Christ. So that God may be both just and the justifier.

    @@allen0088 when Roman’s 9 says “Jacob I loved and Esau I hated,” that’s not what it means literally. You clearly have a superficial understanding of the verse. God hates sin. Esau was a sinner. But what the verse is saying is, the effectual, saving, predestined love God had for Jacob makes the kind of love that God had for Esau look like hate. Go listen to RC Sproul talk about it.
