Kidung Agung menggambarkan kekasih sebagai "merpatiku", Mazmur menggambarkan sayap merpati bersalut perak, dan Matius menyuruh murid-muridnya menjadi "tulus seperti merpati".

is the Holy of Holies.”

23. Merpati: Lambang Kemurnian
Kidung Agung 5:2
2 Aku tidur, tetapi hatiku bangun.
Dengarlah, kekasihku mengetuk. "Bukalah
pintu, dinda, manisku, merpatiku,
idam-idamanku, karena kepalaku
penuh embun, dan rambutku penuh
tetesan embun malam!
[My dove, my perfect one!]
24. 2 Korintus 6:14-18
14 Janganlah kamu merupakan pasangan yang
tidak seimbang dengan orang-orang yang tak
percaya. Sebab persamaan apakah
terdapat antara kebenaran dan kedurhakaan?
Atau bagaimanakah terang dapat
bersatu dengan gelap?
15 Persamaan apakah yang terdapat
antara Kristus dan Belial? Apakah bagian
bersama orang-orang percaya dengan orang-
orang tak percaya?
25. 2 Korintus 6:14-18
16 Apakah hubungan bait
Allah dengan berhala? Karena kita
adalah bait dari Allah yang hidup
menurut firman Allah ini: "Aku
akan diam bersama-sama dengan
mereka dan hidup di tengah-
tengah mereka, dan Aku akan
menjadi Allah mereka, dan mereka
akan menjadi umat-Ku.
26. 2 Korintus 6:14-18
17 Sebab itu: Keluarlah kamu dari
antara mereka, dan pisahkanlah
dirimu dari mereka, firman
Tuhan, dan janganlah menjamah
apa yang najis, maka Aku akan
menerima kamu.
8 Dan Aku akan menjadi
Bapamu, dan kamu akan menjadi
anak-anak-Ku laki-laki dan anak-
anak-Ku perempuan demikianlah
27. Mazmur 68:13
Maukah kamu berbaring di
antara kandang-kandang?
Sayap-sayap merpati
bersalut dengan
perak, bulu kepaknya
dengan emas berkilau-
kilauan.

29. Wings of faith
Mazmur 55:1
1 Untuk pemimpin biduan. Dengan permainan kecapi. Nyanyian
pengajaran Daud. Berilah telinga, ya Allah, kepada
doaku, janganlah bersembunyi terhadap permohonanku!
2 Perhatikanlah aku dan jawablah aku! Aku mengembara dan
menangis karena cemas,
3 karena teriakan musuh, karena aniaya orang fasik; sebab mereka
menimpakan kemalangan kepadaku, dan dengan geramnya
mereka memusuhi aku.
4 Hatiku gelisah, kengerian maut telah menimpa aku.
5 Aku dirundung takut dan gentar, perasaan seram meliputi aku.
6 Pikirku: "Sekiranya aku diberi sayap seperti merpati, aku akan
terbang dan mencari tempat yang tenang,
7 bahkan aku akan lari jauh-jauh dan bermalam di padang gurun.

In being likened to a dove, her house is inaccessible.It is secret and hidden from others.This seclusion is afforded by the difficulty with which one would arrive at the location as it is among the “steep places”It is also described by being in the clefts of the rock.Here, Dove make their nests in cliff-side clefts and caves; when frightened they are reluctant to emerge.Did you notice here in verse 14 where the appeal is? Christ says to the Church, “Let Me see thy countenance; let Me Hear thy voice.” Isn't it an interesting thing that Christ would be asking us to have fellowship with Him? We are prone to go to Him, and it is all one-sided. We go to Him for what we can get. He would like for us to come to Him because He loves us. The Scripture says that you are the portion that has been delivered to Christ, that you are the heritage of Christ. You are His and you mean something to Him, and I think we are oftentimes prone to forget it. That is the reason He said, “Let Me see thy countenance, and let Me hear thy voice.”

You have seen the dove with the olive leaf any number of times as a symbol of peace, and generally that is the accepted symbol, but more important than the accepted symbol of peace is the symbol of purity, because that is what the Bible emphasizes—a purity that is emphasized by the dove.That is the reason the Holy Spirit came in the form of a dove in Matthew, chapter 3, verse 16, at the baptismal scene of the Lord Jesus Christ and lighted on the shoulder of the Lord Jesus—the visible evidence of the Holy Spirit. Why was the dove chosen? Because the dove is the symbol of purity.Lesson:
Persamaanapakah?Persatuanapakah?Hubunganapakah?When we think of the dove, we must remember that God expects His Church, His people, to be pure people, a people that is separate and apart from the world.

Wings of the dove
We are dirty and soiled by sin, and yet when the grace of God takes hold of our lives, we are to soar up out of all of that filth and dirt and become a new creature in Christ Jesus, and that which is dirty and that which is unlovely becomes beautiful in the sight of God.Every time David saw a dove mounting up into the sunlight from the place where she had been soiled and dirty, he was reminded of the soul that is changed, that is revolutionized by the power of GodThere is nothing any more beautiful, nothing any more thrilling than a changed life in Christ.
Do you get the picture? Oftentimes David had seen the dove mount up and pause for a few moments on the wall that surrounded the palace and then soar off into the distance, and he said to himself, “I wish I had the wings of a dove. I wish that I could get away from it all. I wish I could fly away like the dove, far away and be at rest. Then I would remain in that quiet spot of solitude.”Have you ever felt like that? Everything comes in on you, and you feel if you could just get away even for a little bit, it would help? David realized the need for coming apart, as Christ said to His disciples, “Come apart and rest awhile.” You can find your solitude and your rest in your fellowship in Christ. It is possible to be in the midst of everything and out of it at the same time. Have you ever noticed how individuals sometimes have a faraway look in their eyes and are completely oblivious to everything around them, so if there is some remark addressed to them, they don't reply? Someone else will say, “Well, they are out of it. Just forget it. They are just out of it.”There is a sense in which it is not wise to be out of it, but there is a sense in which it is possible to be in such fellowship and communion with the Lord that you don't have to go away to a location to find that solitude. On the wings of faith, you can mount up to that place where you have real fellowship with the Lord.
