St Ephraim Solomons End of times mystery.
The Queen of Sheba was a sheep that had come into the place of wolves;
the lamp of truth did Solomon give her, who also married her when he
fell away. She was enlightened and went away, but they were dark as their
manner was.
The bright spark which went down home with that blessed
[Queen], held on its shining amid the darkness, till the new Day-spring
came. The bright spark met with this shining, and illumined the
place.
4. There are in the sea divers fishes of many cubits, and with all their
greatness they are very small; but by
thy
littleness the crown is made great, like as the Son, by whose littleness
Adam was made great.
For the head is thy crown intended: for the eye thy beauty, for the ear
thy goodliness. Come up from the sea, thou neighbor to the dry land,
and come and sojourn by the [seat of] hearing. Let the ear love the word
of life as it loveth thee! In the ear is the word, and without it is the
pearl.
Let it as being warned by thee, by thee get wisdom, and be warned by
the word of truth. Be thou its mirror: the beauty of the Word in thine own
beauty shall it see: in thee it shall learn how precious is the Word on
High!
The ear is the leaf: the flesh is the tree, and thou in the midst of it are
a fruit of light, and to the womb that brings
forth Light, thou art a
type that points.
