Although oblivious to the present signs because they are asleep, resurrection will startle many into awakening. Dove is a symbol of the spirit and also of the Bride. The sign of Jonah is the sign of the dove, sign of the spirit and sign of the Bride. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. Resurrection is an underlying theme in the accounts of Jesus' baptism, associated with the spirit dove.
Baptism symbolizes the process of death and resurrection.
As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. As you look at the immediate context of each of those three dove mentions in the Song of Songs, the Bride Theft resurrection should be obvious. Note this interesting insight, fellow watcher. Prior to sending a dove, a raven was sent. This unclean bird was sent as a symbol of a similar sign we now seek, the unholy spirit revelation sign of the Unclean Bird.
