Good morning, everyone!
Today I read the whole book of Song of Solomon: chapters 1-8.
And I have a confession. I don't understand this book at all. I mean, I understand that it's a song, sung by Solomon, his bride, and her attendants, and that it's romantic, because, of course, it's for a wedding. But other than that, I just don't really understand it.
I think it's meant to be taken literally: it's a song between Solomon and his Shulammite bride. But there are so many things in the Bible that can be taken other than literally.
So, does Song of Solomon also have hidden meaning for Christ and His bride? Or am I reading too much into it?
There were a few places where I thought I could draw parallels, and there are a few verses which people have used in songs about Christ and His bride, but I wonder if they were reading too much into it as well, even though the verses fit.
What do you think?
And is there a study on the Song of Solomon that you would recommend so that I can better understand this wonderfully written book?
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Isaiah 1-4.
