“¹¹Binding his donkey  

to the vine,

       And his donkey’s colt

to the choice vine,

       He washed his      

garments in wine,

       And his clothes in the

blood of grapes.

       His eyes are darker

than wine,

       And his teeth whiter

than milk.”

– Genesis 49:11-12 (NKJV)

“Binding his donkey to the vine, And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine (to the humble martyrs – those who came before Him – on the backs of whom He came [Matt 21:1-7] and their, His children [Is 9:6D], the li’l colts, their, His humble descendants who share in His suffering [Phil 3:10; Rom 8:17] – those who come after Him – , He Has given the right to abide in Him, to dwell within The Choicest Vine [John 15:4-5], yoked with Him & therein their burden rendered light 🤲🏽☺ [Matt 11:25-30]), He washed his garments in wine (His Blood spilt for us; soaking His purple garment; His majesty tainted, that we in turn may be washed clean & attain Royalty [1 Pet 2:9]), And his clothes in the blood of grapes (and again, in turn awarding us the privilege to drink deep of the heady cocktail of the intoxicating Presence; intimacy with The God-Head). His eyes are darker than wine (deep pools of fervent Love, come! drink deep! of the depths [Eph 3:18] of His desire [Song of Solomon 7:10] for you; attained in that highest price paid – the giving of Himself – that greatest expression of Love ever beheld [Eph 5:31-32]), And his teeth whiter than milk (see also SOS 4:2; 6:6).”
