Although , King Solomon had taken the wrong path , now in its old age , exchanging God for pagan idols , leading the people of Israel will desvirtuarem the true path , leaving for unbridled polygyny , with pagan and idolatrous women , exactly opposite orders God therefore was not what God wanted to happen to his people , even the LORD made recommendations not to break down that path , as I Kings 11.1-11 , his slide was so great , we got to the extreme, marrying princesses 700 , not finding much, got over 300 concubines ( lovers ) , and these wives turned away his heart . I Kings 11.3 . And Solomon forgotten his own proverb, " Better is the end of a thing than the beginning, Ecclesiastes 7.8 " if distorted - by the end of his life , leaving behind the advice of his father David Wise but the time comes he comes to reflect , and to see that all was vanity that has brought nothing beneficial , nor the people , much less to him, thank God , still timely , begins to change focus, leaving brilliant advice , for example , life with women : Enjoy life with the wife whom you love all the days of thy vanity , which he hath given thee under the sun , all the days of thy vanity : for this is thy portion in this life , and in thy labor which thou hast done under the sun . Ecclesiastes 9.9 . Also advises reflection will do in our lives , and says : From what you have heard , the order is : Fear God , and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment , and to all that is hidden, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Ecclesiastes 12.13-14 . Continuing with his change of attitude and life springs up in his heart a bright desire , which expresses its prosperous and glorious feeling , which is fulfilled in the lives of those who love God , that is : " How to live in the anointing with the oil on the head, and the lily robes , " this pertains to our spiritual life , and considering the change transmitted happy for your advice and feelings , in my understanding , after their slips, probably Solomon has been reconciled to God because his mercy and love are infinite . Looking at the Old Testament , we see the significance of the three symbols mentioned by Solomon , dresses , oil , and head, the lily garments represented the most important part of the priestly garment down to the feet of the priest , covering them , the tunic was placed on the bare skin of the priest , pointing to the righteousness of God in moral and spiritual life of the children of the Eternal . Also speaking of the purity and holiness of God's servants . The holiness of spirit, soul and physical body . The oil in the Old Testament was a compound of fragrant spices , poured specifically the head of the priests , Leviticus 8:12 .
In the New Testament , oil
typifies the Holy Spirit working in the believer's life , and also points to
one of the great manifestations of the Spirit of the Lord . Already the term
head, brings a great significance as it is the head , which is the government
body of the believer is identified by Jesus Christ as the head of the Church .
Colossians 1.18 . Also the head carry laws , and orders for the physical body ,
is the head lying eyes to see that the believer spiritual things of God , and
sees what is not pleasing to the Lord , and may deviate , also the members of
the head as ; ears to hear and heed the voice of God , his lips to pray ,
praise , glorify , the tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord , according to
Philippians 2:11 , nostrils so that the aroma of Christ is a constant reality .
2 Corinthians 2:14-17 . In chapter 3 of the book of Ecclesiastes , Solomon
himself describes that there is time for everything under heaven , and of
course , we must walk with our lily spiritual garments , and never missing oil
on our heads all the time . Even living in a world full of evil dirt thrown by
Satan , we can live with our clean clothes, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses
us from all sin . I John 1.7 , and the oil of the Spirit in the clean
preserved, as well as regular oil , preservative serves to lubricate many
things , such as parts, appliances and more , the oil of the Spirit anoints us
by lubrication in the rust of sin and conserving our garments once already
cleansed by the blood of the Lamb . In our everyday life , we must avoid two
ways of living in society , the first floor is the laundry , and the second
floor is stripped naked , spiritually we can not escape these two rules , to
live in communion with God , you must live with our spiritual garments lily ,
without any stain. As spotted spiritual robes ? There is only one thing that
spot, called sin , sin is the greatest spiritual dirt , and dirty, stinks in
the nostrils of God , He can not stand to see sins . So then, we must keep the
clean clothes , as described by Solomon. Once, Jesus tells the parable of the
wedding feast , saying the kingdom of heaven is like unto the king , which made
a marriage for his son , and when the king comes to see the guests , he saw
there a man who wore no wedding garment , and asked him , Friend, how camest
thou in hither not having a wedding garment ? He was speechless . Then said the
king to the servants , Bind him , hand and foot and cast him into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth . For many are called ,
but few chosen . Matthew 22:1-14 . Then we see the importance of garments ,
without which they are not clean , we will not see God , we would be out of the
marriage of the Lamb .
Sometimes when we talk about
sin as spiritual stain as soon comes into our minds , adultery, fornication ,
theft , we forget that there are many other sins , which also stain the
garments , such as lie, Jesus told the truth , a group Pharisees , who claimed
to be lying sons of God, and thus he spake Ye are of your father the devil ,
and the lusts of your father . He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode
not in the truth , because there is no truth in him . When he speaketh a lie ,
he speaks from his own resources , for he is a liar , and the father of lies .
John 8:44 . If the devil is the father of lies , who therefore mind, will be
doing the will of the devil , and cease to be a child of God , becoming a child
of the devil himself , notoriously , tarnishing their spiritual garments ,
hurts , though, do not forgive men , neither will your Father forgive your
trespasses . Matthew 6.15, murmurings and disputes ; Do all things without
murmurings . Philippians 2:14 . Wrath, for the wrath of man worketh not the
righteousness of God . James 1.20 , disobedience, And to whom swore he would
not enter His rest, but to them that believed not? Hebrews 3:18 , idolatry:
Wherefore, my beloved , flee from idolatry . I Corinthians 10.14 . Anyway, we
have a relationship described by Paul as works of the flesh , smearing our
spiritual garments , the Apostle describes thus : now , the works of the flesh
are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness ,
idolatry , sorcery , enmities , strife, jealousies, wraths , factions ,
contentions , parties , envy, drunkenness, orgies , and things like these , of
which I forewarn you as I did before that prevent those who practice such
things will not inherit the kingdom of God . Galatians 5:19-21 . The Bible
teaches us the remedy , when we sin : Let us therefore come boldly unto the
throne of grace , that we may obtain mercy , and find grace to help in time
being . Hebrews 4:16 . Even more , we are blessed with an illustrious lawyer to
plead our cause before God , when we fail , or at times when we need help to solve
our problems , when they are short of our possibilities , the lawyer , is Jesus
Christ , as I John 2.1 . God wants us to stay with our anointed head, albs and
robes at all times , as recommended by Solomon for the Glory of God abide in
our lives , and being possessed of its promises . Remember : Never forget to
ask for forgiveness of their sins , because God never tires of forgiving you. EROTIDES
