Bible Question: Heloo Praise Jesus.I have a question which is from songs of solomon 3:5 concerning awakening love.Therefore according to this verse how do we awake love? and also what will be the time for love that it will be pleased to be awaken?.I need help on this and God bless you so much. |
Bible Answer: Hi Ema, Welcome to the forum. For Song of Solomon 3:5, I go to the NKJ for interpretation as perhaps you do since you wrote about "awakening love". The NASB has "That you will not arouse or awaken my love, Until she pleases." In other words, I see the verse as talking of love as an "it" and perhaps we can regard it as a spirit of love that needs to be aroused at the right time. Solomon 2:7 has the same phrase, "That you will not arouse or awaken [my] love, Until she [NASB marginal note, Or, it] pleases. Song of Solomon 3:6-11 is a Chorus which introduces King Solomon himself as the bridegroom. So this appears to be the time that the spirit of love is awakened. Chapter four to my mind continues on with the Bridegroom, the Christ, speaking. Song of Solomon, 4:1, "How beautiful you are, **My darling, How beautiful you are!" John 3:29, "**He who has the bride is the Bridegroom, but the friend of the Bridegroom, who stands and hears Him, rejoices greatly because of the Bridegroom's voice. And so this joy of mine has been made full." The capitalized Bridegroom is my personal interpretation. So in answer to your question and your need I would say that you should be open to hearing the Spirit and come to Him first of all. Then, be aware that He gives the spirit without measure; so be reading the Scriptures and listen to the words He speaks. Then, listen to the words that you are hearing in your life situation; test the words to see which are true and which are in error. Test them to see if they are spoken in the spirit of love and determine if you should listen. I hope that helps and is of interest. From the heart, Ray |
