The public appearing of the Bridegroom
(Son 3:1) By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
(Son 3:2) I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought
him, but I found him not.
(Joh 9:4) I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no
man can work.
(Joh 9:5) As long as I am in the world, I am the light
of the world.
(1Th 5:5) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day:
we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
(1Th 5:6) Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us
watch and be sober.
(1Th 5:7) For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the
night.
(Son 3:1) By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
(Son 3:2) I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought
him, but I found him not.
(Son 3:3) The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him
whom my soul loveth?
(Son 3:4) It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him
go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of
her that conceived me.
(Joh 14:26) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom
the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and
bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have
said unto you.
(Joh 16:13) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that
shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
(Joh 14:26) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom
the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and
bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have
said unto you.
(Joh 16:13) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that
shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
(Isa 62:6) I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem,
which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make
mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
(Jer 6:17) Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they
said, We will not hearken.
(Heb 13:2) Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels
unawares.
(Heb 1:13-14) But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit
on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are
they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
