Song of Songs

Song of Songs, also called the Song of Solomon, is left open. It's not clear if it was written by or for Solomon. Perhaps, there was more than one author.

As I read the words so eloquently expressed from the depths of her soul, I hear her voice. The voice of a woman deeply and passionately in love. Her heart poured out.

Perhaps, an allegory of love between God and His people. He is the creator of love and Miss Shulammite was the vessel He displayed it through.

"Song of Songs, depicts love in all its spontaneity, beauty, power and exclusiveness - experienced in its varied moments of separation and intimacy, anguish and ecstasy, tension and contentment. 

Inspired words that disclose its exquisite charm and beauty as one of God's choicest gifts.

This feminine voice speaks profoundly of love. She portrays its beauty and delights. She claims its exclusiveness ...



... and insists on the necessity of its pure spontaneity.



She also proclaims its overwhelming power ...



... it rivals that of the fearsome enemy, death; it burns with the intensity of a blazing fire.

It is unquenchable. 

She affirms its preciousness: All that one possesses cannot purchase it. 

It is the Lord's gift.

In this song of love the voice of the beloved is dominant. 

The unsurpassed power and value of love, the love that draws man and woman together. It is her experience of love, both as the one who loves and as the one who is loved, that is most clearly expressed. 

The Song begins with her wish for the lover's kiss and ends with her urgent invitation to him for love's intimacy."  - www.biblestudytools.com/song-of-solomon/

In the end, love prevails.



This is the foundation of the bible, love perfectly written in the holy bible and God-breathed to say this is the way ...

... I meant it, I created it.
