Song of Solomon 2:12 "The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
2:13b ...Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away".

The emergence of the children of the Kingdom

delights Him. He has been waiting a long while for

them. Now the quiet and slow-moving "turtle" has a

"voice"! The "fair" ones have taken on His complexion.

His lips drop myrrh as He bids them "come away"!
