Song 7:12 | CPDV | STEP | Approach, my beloved. Let us go out into the field; let us linger in the villages.

‏ Song of Solomon 7:12

12 Approach, my beloved. Let us go out into the field; let us linger in the villages. ^{▼▼7:12The word ‘dilecto’ is in the masculine, so this is the bride still speaking. Notice that she switches back to speaking directly to him. +As the Church advances in holiness, the time for the Return of Christ approaches. In the years prior to the Return of Christ, some persons in the Church, the first fruits, will be so holy that although they will have original sin, they will have no personal sin whatsoever.(Conte)}
