Read Song of Solomon 7 in context

Scripture Focus

4Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.

5Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.

Song of Solomon 7:4-5

Biblical Context

Plainly: The verses lavish regal imagery on the beloved—an ivory neck, pools for eyes, and a crowned head—signifying dignity, grace, and inner favor. It presents an inner standard of worth governed by the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse you are shown not a person to gaze upon, but a state of consciousness to inhabit. The neck, a tower of ivory, stands for the pure, unwavering spine of awareness—an inner channel through which truth flows. The eyes, like fishpools, reflect a mind that looks neither outward nor with doubt, but inward, ripe with perception in the baths of Heshbon. The nose as the tower of Lebanon, lifting toward Damascus, marks a gateway of discernment rising above the fray of appearances. Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, the summit of your thought, crowned by purple hair—the royal imagination you wear when you align with the I AM. And the king held in the galleries is your higher self, the I AM, watching with favor as you claim your sovereignty. When you accept this image as real, you invite the same inner governance into your world; you do not beg for grace—you become it by the state you assume and feel to be true.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, declare 'I AM the I AM' as the observer, and picture your neck as a tower of ivory, your eyes as clear pools, and the king in the inner galleries approving you with grace. Let the feeling of that royal recognition settle as your new reality.
