- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The book of the
- 00:20
- Song of Solomon, or sometimes in the Hebrew Bible, it is called the
- 00:26
- Song of Songs. What you see in this is, this was written by King Solomon, and this is one that many people have differing views on.
- 00:36
- Now, some people don't like to read this book, because it's, well, probably one of the more graphic books in the
- 00:43
- Bible, at least sexually. Song of Solomon is about King Solomon and his bride.
- 00:51
- And there are many who view that we have to find Christ in every book of the
- 00:57
- Bible, explicitly. And in doing so, what they make this book about is about Christ and the relationship with his church as the bride.
- 01:06
- Well, I would have issue with that, because I would then argue that this book was kind of meaningless until the church.
- 01:12
- That doesn't make much sense. But there is, if you take a view that every book of the Bible needs to be glorifying
- 01:19
- God, well then, this book has a lot of meaning, because it provides the love that should be within a marriage, in a godly marriage.
- 01:26
- And a godly marriage is going to glorify God. So, as we go through the book of the
- 01:32
- Songs of Solomon, you end up seeing that this is a book that is actually a marriage feast.
- 01:38
- This is a marriage. This is the king and his bride, and the love they have for one another.
- 01:45
- It is the love that we should have on earth for our spouses as well. There's much we can learn from this.
