In Psalms chapter forty five David said, “The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold”, and in chapter forty five and verse fourteen of Psalms David said, “she shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework” where we read,
She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework:
the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto you.
The verse begins, “She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework:” David began with the words, “she shall be brought” or “she, the royal king's daughter, will be carried, borne along and lead” “unto the king” which means “toward the royal ruler” “in raiment of needlework” or “within clothing, apparel and garments of variegated color which was specifically embroidery”. David said the “royal king's daughter' would be lead to him while wearing embroidered garments of variegated color.
The verse continues, “the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto you.” David added the words, “the virgins” or “the maids or young girls” “her companions” which means “the female attendants of the royal ruler's daughter” “that follow her” or “who come behind and after her, the royal ruler's daughter” “shall be brought unto you” which means “will come, enter and be lead toward you, royal ruler”. David said the young maidens who were the attendants of the “royal ruler's daughter” would come after her and be lead to the royal rulers.
When we think through the words in this verse, we see how the daughter of the royal ruler is adorned with multicolored finely embroidered garments and lead to him. Like a bride lead to a wedding, the royal ruler's daughter is presented with her attendants coming after her as she is brought to the king. God's desire is to have a personal relationship with every person through His Son Jesus, and when we yield our lives to Him, He will forgive our sins, grant us eternal life and clothe us in raiment that is fit for Heaven and the marriage supper of the lamb. (See Revelation 19:9) Everyone is invited to come to Jesus and receive the blessing of being His well-adorned bride forever and ever.
Next time David says, “with gladness and rejoicing shall they be bought”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until tomorrow…there is more…
