I don’t know about you, but with all that is going on in my life and in the world, if I don’t keep my eyes on Jesus, I am toast and jam for the enemy. Last year I dug into a portion of scripture that describes our King, our Savior and the Lover of our souls. Methodically and prayerfully I dissected each word in Hebrew and found some amazing treasure to consider. I’m not sure how many blogs this adventure will take us, but I hope you will join me.
What we behold, we become. So let’s get started and Behold our King.
Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
This portion of S.O.S. chapter 5, is the declaration of the bride, the Shulamite, about her bridegroom to the daughters of Jerusalem:
Song of Songs 5:10 “My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.”
Beloved: Strong’s #1730. דּוֹד dôwd, dode; or (shortened) דֹּד dôd; from an unused root meaning properly, to boil, i.e. (figuratively) to love; by implication, a love-token, lover, friend; specifically an uncle:—(well-) beloved, father’s brother, love, uncle.
That spelling in Hebrew reading from right to left is Dallet, Vav, Dallet.
Dallet 4 = Earth or creation. Means: Door, Gate, Impoverished man
Vav 6 = Man. Means: Nail or Hook, to Secure, Pin together, Connect -Yeshua

My Beloved is white: Strong’s #6703 from the primary root #6705 — To glare, to be dazzling white.
The spelling in Hebrew, reading right to left is Chet, Chet, Tzade.
Tzade 90 = Humility. Picture-Fishhook. Means: Righteousness, to pull toward, Desire, Trouble, Harvest.
When this letter Tzade was first written, it looked like a man lying down in utter need. When you get to the end of yourself and are face down in your own exhaustion and you realize that you cannot do it yourself, THAT is the moment you become righteous…THAT is the first step of faith.
True righteousness is complete recognition of our weakness and of God’s unequaled ability. We then submit to Him and His will, only speaking what He speaks and only doing what He does. It is then, that we, like Jesus, can say, “And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” John 8:29
Chet 8 = New Beginnings. Means: Fence, Gate, Tent wall to Separate, Protect, Cut off. Torah
Chet 8 = New Beginnings. Means: Fence, Gate, Tent wall to Separate, Protect, Cut off. Torah
My Beloved is White: He is Righteous and walks in Humility, fully submitted to Abba God. He separates and protects us with Himself – Who is the very Word of God.
(When we live according to His word, we look like Him and we move into that tent of the secret place of protection from enemy influence. We take our place in Him. This does not mean we will not have trials and suffering. It does mean we will be in Him and have the grace to stay in peace and faith regardless of our circumstances.)
My Beloved is Ruddy: Strong’s #122 – primary root #119 אָדַם ʼâdam, aw-dam’; to show blood (in the face), i.e. flush or turn rosy:—be (dyed, made) red (ruddy).
The spelling in Hebrew, reading right to left is: Closed Mem, Dallet, Aleph
Aleph 1= God – Echad – Unity, Unique (no other like it) Means: Ox head—Strength or Leader, Most Important, First – The Strength and Power of the leader
Dallet 4 = Earth or creation. Means: Door, Gate, Impoverished man
A closed Mem 600 = Means: Hidden Truth, Womb, Water from the womb, Cleansing water, flowing water that brings life, Mighty, Massive Chaos, Humility, taking the low place, hidden relationship with God, Cleansing water, flowing water that brings life.
My Beloved is God. He is the Door for all the world of impoverished men to come to the Hidden Truth of Life, hidden relationship with God.
My Beloved is Chiefest among ten-thousand:
Strong’s #1713 דָּגַל dâgal, daw-gal’; a primitive root; to flaunt, i.e. raise a flag; figuratively, to be conspicuous:—(set up, with) banners, chiefest.
The spelling in Hebrew, reading right to left is: Lamed, Gimmel, Dallet

2 Corinthians 3:18 HCSB We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.
From my Journals
Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me. For I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden light. Matthew 11:28-29
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.
Keep your eyes on Me and keep your appointment to meet with Me daily, you will unravel all of the enemy’s plans.
I am teaching you how to rest in a storm. Rest in Me. I hold all things together by My Word. Keep your eyes on Me Beloved. I am with you. I am for you. I will not leave you.
