2 | Who is the beloved? | Song 2:7 | Mommapbs | 75232 | ||
Searcher56: Are you perhaps approaching this passage from too literal of a perspective by limiting it to a discouse between a Lover and the beloved? Do you believe that this book is only for married couples? It is God's Word and "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousnessis" 2 Tim 3:16 It seems to me that any believer should expect to receive edification from ALL of God's Word. When I read this book, I see the love of Christ expressed for His beloved, but is the beloved Israel or the Church or both? Comments? |

3 | Who is the beloved? | Song 2:7 | Searcher56 | 75236 | ||
This is for our teaching, reproof, correction, training in righteousnessis ... while some believe this is an allegory between God-Israel or Christ-church, I do not. I do not believe we will ever be that intimate with Christ ... first, because we are not married to Him, yet ... and when we are, I do not see this fitting in. As I read the NT, I do not see this kind of language or intimacy. Do you? Israel was never this close with God, unless you see somethinhg I do not. Searcher |

4 | Who is the beloved? | Song 2:7 | Mommapbs | 75278 | ||
Greetings again Searcher, I believe that we would be wise to not let our physical understanding of intimacy rule in our appreciation for this passage. Call me a hopeful romantic! But I believe that God gave us marriage, families and the intimacy of relationship to give us a hint of what He longs to have with us. Perhaps the nation of Israel was never this close, but I believe that the expression of love in the Song of Solomon expresses the desire that God has for HIS beloved! (And I suspect that that's you and me too!) Blessings, mommapbs |
