Song of Solomon 6:10
Who is she that looketh forth as the morning,
fair as the moon, clear as the sun,
and terrible as an army with banners?
An army with banners is an assembly of men inspired. Men standing shoulder to shoulder under the shadow of a common banner are a terrible sight when it is you they are coming against. Few things inspire like a flag under which to fight.
A good woman is a banner waving in the wind under which the man aligned to her fights ferociously. A noble, Christian woman is as terrible as an army with banners. For her security and purity, a man will give every ounce of his life and livelihood. Nothing inspires better than love and loveliness. Men will cheerfully give their blood and sweat to defend the true, the good and the beautiful.
May my sons find women cut from similar cloth.
May my daughters be as inspiring as an army's banner.
We fight for our banners, for our tribe, for our family, for our God, for our country, for our principles and we do so with grins that are willing to grimace.
