1 | was there a third of angles cast out | Rev 12:9 | sazmgic | 178163 | ||
The following verses are taken from the KJV. Note that in verse 4 one third of the stars were thrown to the earth with the Dragon. Later on in verse 9 the Dragon is called the Devil and Satan. It would be logical that these stars represented the Angels and thus we get the amount one third. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. |

2 | Song of Songs | Song of Solomon | sazmgic | 178161 | ||
There are 3 major views for Song of Solomon. The one quoted below would be the one I would agree with. As for this book being actual songs I would not think so as some in the early church and before did view this as simply a love poem. I am not aware of anything that would state it is actual songs like the book of Psalms. Here is the quote taken from The Teachers Commentary. "Those who see Song of Songs as a celebration of love as God intended it to be experienced by a man and woman, have held different views about the book’s structure. To some it seems just a collection of love poems. To others it tells a unified story. The great scholar Franz Delitzsch suggested it is a drama, telling the story of King Solomon falling in love with a girl from one of Israel’s northern villages. He meets her while traveling incognito, returns to the capital, and later returns in splendor to carry her back to Jerusalem. This dramatic view is reflected in the niv, which marks out the alternating speeches of the beloved (the bride) and lover (Solomon), and infrequent refrains spoken or sung by a chorus of her friends. The structure fits the Hebrew text, and the determination of who is speaking is made by the gender (male, female) of the Hebrew pronouns. Because of its poetic and dramatic nature, it is not possible to outline Song of Songs effectively. However the following generally accepted structure helps fit together the story told in the book. 1–2:7 The bride longs for her bridegroom. They meet and praise each other. 2:8–3:11 As their love grows, the bride praises the groom, using figures in nature. 4:1–5:1 The lover comes and praises the bride. 5:2–6:3 The lover has gone away and the bride expresses her longing for him. 6:4–8:14 The lover returns, the marriage is consummated (7:1–8:4), and the happiness of the couple celebrated. The third view was held in the early church, and is still held by many today. For many reasons, this seems to be the best for us to accept as well." |
