Rose of Sharon

[Christina]

I had a dream last night that the Rose of Sharon was coming soon I was very excited in the dream. I know I have heard the term before but wasnt sure what it meant, I had thought it was plant of some kind so I googled this Morning. to find its meaning Here is what I found:............................................................................................The words "rose of Sharon" comes out of the Old Testament in the Song of Solomon. The verse reads: "I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys." (Solomon 2:1) Here are some facts about this verse and how it may be related to Jesus.Nowhere in the New Testament is Jesus actually referred to as the rose of Sharon. However, He is "symbolically" referred to as the rose of Sharon. You are right about Sharon being a place. Sharon is a plain - it is one of the largest valley-plains in all of Palestine. Back at the time of Solomon, it was considered a wild, fertile plain that had a lot of beautiful flowers in it. Sharon was supposed to have been known for its beauty and majesty back in those days. The person saying she is the "rose of Sharon" in the above verse was a Shulamite woman who apparently was Solomon’s bride. Here is the reason that I think people like to use the analogy of Jesus being the Rose of Sharon. The New Testament refers to Jesus as the Bridegroom and the Church as His Bride. This tells us right here that God is using the "lover" analogy to describe the relationship that He wants with us and that He also wants us to have with His Son. However, in the above verse, the person saying she is the rose of Sharon is a woman, not a man. Jesus is obviously referred to as "male" since He is always referred to as "He" in the Bible. The rose is supposed to be considered the most "perfect" of all flowers. You will notice that Jesus is symbolically referred to as the rose of Sharon. Jesus is perfect in His God nature. He thus can be considered the "actual" rose of Sharon since He is totally perfect within His own nature - just like the rose is supposed to be considered the most "perfect" of all flowers.Normally in a husband-wife or boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, it is the male who gives roses to the wife or girlfriend. Since Jesus is considered the Bridegroom in His relationship with His church, it would thus be Jesus coming to us to give us the flowers. However, in this case, God may be going one step further in allowing this analogy to be made of His Son.I feel like God may be trying to tell us that Jesus will go one step further. Instead of Jesus being the one who would "give" us the flowers as we have in our normal human relationships, Jesus is actually referred to as the flower itself! And with the rose being the most perfect of all flowers, God is telling us that His Son Jesus is the Rose of Sharon rather than just having Him be the One to just give us this rose flower due to His perfect nature and perfect love that He has for all of us. Women love flowers. They love the way they look and smell - especially roses. I feel God wants us to have realization of how special His Son Jesus is to us and He is using the rose flower to compare His Son with so we can truly appreciate the beauty and perfection of Jesus and the perfect love that He has for each and every one of us. Bottom line - Jesus is perfect love just as the rose is the most perfect of all flowers in its looks, beauty and smell. By using the rose flower as a "visual symbolism" of Jesus’ love for us, we can better appreciate or "see" what God is trying to tell us in the personal love relationship that He wants to establish with each and every one of us. He wants us to realize how "special" His love is for us and that He wants more than anything to be able to enter into this personal love relationship with each one of us.......I had no idea it was symbolic of Christ untill today after the dream!

I'll tell you wise this morning when I Woke up I thought it was just a plant or a place I was shocked to find out it was symbolic for Christ I did not know that when I went to bed last night. The Lord does move in mysterious way.

That is indeed a beautiful dream indeed. I am SO in love with Him more. And I can see the Rose of Sharon being symbolic to Christ, for numerous reasons.1. The bees loves sweet honey from a sweet flower and rose.2. Flowers sure do smells good.3. It takes flowers and put it in the water.Kriss, I hope you can see the spiritual in all these three reasons I just did.

I love to teach.JagLovest thou in Christ Yahshua our Lord and Saviour.

At first I was skeptical. I was thinking after thousands of years the plain of sharon must be completely barren now, like a desert. So the rose of sharon could mean something completely different. But I went to a different site and saw an actual picture of the plain of sharon and it is beautiful. For it to remain such a place of fertility and beauty even to this day must mean something special.

Had you ever heard The Rose of Sharon was symbolic for Jesus? I never had until I dreamed about it

I've heard of the Lion of Judah referring to Jesus, but never the Rose of Sharon. I never heard of that until reading this thread.
