The Divine Kiss: Song of Songs Chapter 1:1-11 the Passion Translation Week 2 The Divine Kiss: Song of Songs Chapter 1:1-11 The Passion Translation By Connie Witter - Because of Jesus Ministries - BecauseofJesus.com This beautiful book of the Bible reveals the True Gospel--the Greatest Love story ever told! It is the story of Jesus, your bridegroom, and His relentless, pursuit of you, His bride, to win your heart with His love. Solomon is a picture of Jesus, and the Shulamite is a picture of you. These two Hebrew words are taken from the same root word, one masculine, the other feminine. We are one Spirit with our King, united with Him as one. Men and women alike have a need for love. We all pursue love because it is what we were created for! Women love to be told they are beautiful, lovely, and good. They love affirmation that they have done a good job and validation from those they love. Men as well love to hear they are handsome, strong, and good. They have a need to be respected, admired, and appreciated as well. However, when we constantly look to human love to fill this need we end up broken and disappointed because people are not always going to approve of us. They will find fault and they will point it out. So this leaves us with only one love that can truly make us whole because Jesus never changes His opinion of you! He promised in His covenant marriage vow to you that He would never see any fault in you! (Hebrews 8:12) He always approves of you! He is constantly singing over you that you are wonderful, perfect, and very good! And even when you do fail, He lifts up your head, looks straight into your eyes, and tells you again, “My beloved, you are perfect in every way”! His greatest desire is that you would receive His love and live free from fear & shame! (Isaiah 54:4-5) Jesus, your Bridegroom is singing His marriage vow of love to y o u ! Read Song of Songs 1:1 The most amazing song of all, by King Solomon Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing. AMP Hebrews 8:12: I will be merciful when you fail, and I will erase your sins and wicked acts out of My memory as though they had never existed. TVT Have you ever wondered, what is my bridegroom singing over me? The Song of Songs answers this question. As you read it, listen to Him sing over you personally, and be made whole in His love! As we read through this beautiful love story, you’ll see the process that your bridegroom went through to propose to you, His beloved bride, to make you His own—The Covenant, The Bridal Price, The Cup, The Bridal gifts, The Marriage chamber, and the wedding Celebration The Kisses of His mouth: The Covenant of love Read Song of Songs 1:2-4 out of the Passion Translation by Brian Simmons Verse 2: Smother me with your kisses- You, His beloved Bride began your journey wanting to know Him and His love for you! Here we see the bride asking for a deeper revelation of His love for her personally. In so doing, we are really asking, “Remind me of your covenant proposal to me. Remind me what you say about me, 1 the Truth of your love is the only thing that sets my heart free. I will drink in your love like the sweetest wine! The Word of God is the kiss from the mouth of our Beloved King, breathing upon us a revelation of His love! His Spirit Kiss Divine- The first kiss of God happened in the Garden of Eden when He breathed His very life into Adam and Eve, creating them in His very image and the covenant kiss began: You are so good so very good and I approve of you completely! You are excellent in every way! Now live in our love-- our joint opinion of you! You look just like us. You are holy, lovely, and so beautiful to us! Genesis 1:26-31; 2:7 Caresses of love- His free gifts He has given to you. His peace, His righteousness, His strength, His comfort, His provision, His protection, His salvation. Again you are asking to be reminded of the promises you have in Him! Remind me of your love and how you see me! This implies each and every promise you have in Jesus. His love is revealed in the price He paid to freely give you for all His gifts of love. The Cup In Song of Songs 1:2, the bride says, “I drink them in Like the sweetest wine!”- You accepted His marriage proposal. You have drank in Jesus Himself, you drank the cup and accepted His covenant promises and the price He paid for you to make you His own and you became His bride. Song of Songs 1:3 says His name is Flowing Oil. Oil represents the Holy Spirit and His work in your heart. He is “Flowing oil” over your mind filling your heart with His love. Psalm 23:5 You anoint My head with oil, my cup overflows. Romans 5:5 For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. H e b r e w s 8:10 I will write upon your mind that you are holy, just and good! You have the mind of Christ about Him, about yourself, and about others! Grace is the divine influence of love upon your mind, bringing peace to your heart (Strong’s G5463) Verse 4: Your hearts cry is to find true love and you have found it in Jesus! You long to be close to Him, to know Him, to be adored by Him, to be one with Him! The King’s chamber is the Holy of Holies where the King lives and only those invited can enter. You ask, “Draw Me into your heart, I long to be close to you! Take Me into your palace of glory, take me into your chambers, and reveal your great love for Me! You, His beloved bride, are the temple of God where your King lives! His secret place is inside of you! This is something you will discover and come to understand more fully along your journey as the King reveals His secrets and mysteries to you in His Holy Place--Colossians 1:27 The mystery of the Gospel- Christ in you the hope of glory! Verse 4: We will remember your love as we laugh and rejoice in You, Celebrating Your every kiss as better-than-wine. No wonder righteousness Adores You! W ine in verse 4 represents the pleasures and riches of this world. You, His Bride acknowledges that His kisses of love are better than anything the world has to offer, and you rejoice together with your brothers and sisters in Christ about the truth that we are Mrs. I AM and we are clothed in His righteousness--Isaiah 61:10 Read Song of Songs 1: 5-7: 2 This is a picture of you and me turning our focus awa y from Jesus, to ourselves and the world around us. We have all taken on our own opinion of ourselves and looked to others for approval and validation and it always leads us to a dark place in our soul. Verse 5: You and I have both looked at ourselves and taken on a different opinion than the one our bridegroom has of us. This is a place where our mistakes, failures, and our shortcomings cause shame and fear to enter our hearts. We hear of this amazing, unconditional love, but our own inadequacies, weaknesses, and mess ups cause us to feel unworthy and lacking in so many ways. But our beloved, bridegroom, doesn’t even address our failures or shortcomings, just like He promised, He will never see any fault in us and so His response to our feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness is-- You are so lovely! We aren’t quite sure this can be true? How can our bridegroom see us this way when we just messed up and acted badly? Can’t he see that I’m not really perfect or lovely? So we speak of how our own opinion of ourselves makes us feel: But I feel so dark--discouraged, sad, guilty, ashamed, inadequate and unworthy! But again your Bridegroom reminds you of His view and opinion of you, hoping this time you will agree with Him: Yet you are lovely as the fine linen in the Holy of Holies! Fine linen represents righteousness (Revelations 19:7-9) Here your bridegroom reminds you that you are the righteousness of God in Him, innocent and pure and lovely and none of your mistakes will ever change your identity in Him or how He sees you! (II Corinthians 5:21) Verse 6: Here we see that when we look to others for acceptance & approval it always ends up with us feeling dark and rejected. This is a picture of you and I after we, His bride, received His proposal and His promise to see no fault in us.

  • The Song of Songs: Translation and Notes
    The Song of Songs: Translation and Notes Our translation of the Song of Songs attempts to adhere as closely as pos- sible to the Hebrew text. As such, we follow the lead set by Everett Fox, most prominently, in his approach to translation. In addition, we have attempted to utilize common English words to render common Hebrew words and rare English words to render rare Hebrew words (see notes h and ac, for example). We also follow Fox’s lead in our representation of proper names. Throughout this volume we have used standard English forms for proper names (Gilead, Lebanon, Solomon, etc.). In our translation, however, we have opted for a closer representation of the Hebrew (i.e., Masoretic) forms (Gilʿad, Levanon, Shelomo, etc.). We further believe that the Masoretic paragraphing should be indicated in an English translation, and thus we have done so in our presentation of the text. While we consider (with most scholars) the Aleppo Codex to be the most authoritative witness to the biblical text, in this case we are encumbered by the fact that only Song 1:1–3:11 is preserved in the extant part of the Aleppo Codex. Accordingly, we have elected to follow the paragraphing system of the Leningrad Codex. Setuma breaks are indicated by an extra blank line. The sole petuha break in the book, after 8:10, is indicated by two blank lines. The Aleppo Codex, as preserved, has petuha breaks after 1:4 and 1:8, whereas the Leningrad Codex has setuma breaks in these two places. As for the remain- ing part of the Song of Songs in the “Aleppo tradition,” we note a difference of opinions by the editors responsible for the two major publications of the Aleppo Codex at one place.

  • Royal Matrimony: the Theme of Kingship in the Book of Song Of
    1 REFORMED THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY CHARLOTTE ‘ROYAL MATRIMONY: THE THEME OF KINGSHIP IN THE BOOK OF SONG OF SONGS AS AN APOLOGETIC TO SOLOMON’ SUBMITTED TO DR. RICHARD BELCHER, JR. IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF OT512- POETS (1st YEAR) BY DÓNAL WALSH, MAY 15, 2018 2 The Song of Songs is the subject of no little debate among Bible scholars today. Commentators are generally united in saying that it is a beautiful redemptive poem about love, but the consensus ends there.1 Debates proliferate over its authorship, date, use of imagery, role and number of characters in the book and overall purpose. The interpreter is left to sift through the perplexing and multi-faceted perspectives on the book. This essay hopes to clear up some of this fog by focusing on one major theme: royal kingship. I propose that the Song is a redemptive love poem which also functions as an apologetic work written with Solomon in mind. It is a defense of faithful, monogamous marital love both to Israel and, especially, to Solomon. To establish this premise, I will discuss a proposed apologetic model that is used in the Song, how this relates to the royal theme, the implications of this apologetic reading on how we date the book, and lastly discern its purpose, author, and how this apologetic speaks to us pastorally and Christologically today. An Apologetic Model A big question, as we investigate this royal theme, is how Solomon can be portrayed in both a positive and negative light. Some commentators see him as a manipulative, domineering king who wants to seduce the Shulamite girl into his harem,2 while others take him to be the author of the book, and the ideal king and lover.3 Still others see him in a negative light, but whose royal traits are appropriated positively by the woman in praise of 1 Athalya Brenner, The Song of Songs, Old Testament Guides (Sheffield: JSOT Press, 1989), 63–64; Raymond B.

  • J. Paul Tanner, "The Message of the Song of Songs,"
    J. Paul Tanner, “The Message of the Song of Songs,” Bibliotheca Sacra 154: 613 (1997): 142-161. The Message of the Song of Songs — J. Paul Tanner [J. Paul Tanner is Lecturer in Hebrew and Old Testament Studies, Singapore Bible College, Singapore.] Bible students have long recognized that the Song of Songs is one of the most enigmatic books of the entire Bible. Compounding the problem are the erotic imagery and abundance of figurative language, characteristics that led to the allegorical interpretation of the Song that held sway for so much of church history. Though scholarly opinion has shifted from this view, there is still no consensus of opinion to replace the allegorical interpretation. In a previous article this writer surveyed a variety of views and suggested that the literal-didactic approach is better suited for a literal-grammatical-contextual hermeneutic.1 The literal-didactic view takes the book in an essentially literal way, describing the emotional and physical relationship between King Solomon and his Shulammite bride, while at the same time recognizing that there is a moral lesson to be gained that goes beyond the experience of physical consummation between the man and the woman. Laurin takes this approach in suggesting that the didactic lesson lies in the realm of fidelity and exclusiveness within the male-female relationship.2 This article suggests a fresh interpretation of the book along the lines of the literal-didactic approach. (This is a fresh interpretation only in the sense of making refinements on the trend established by Laurin.) Yet the suggested alternative yields a distinctive way in which the message of the book comes across and Solomon himself is viewed.

  • The Song of Songs Seder: a Night of Sacred Sexuality by Rabbi Robert Teixeira, LCSW
    The Song of Songs Seder: A Night of Sacred Sexuality By Rabbi Robert Teixeira, LCSW Many fault lines cut through the human family. The Sex-Is-Holy - Sex-Is-Dirty divide, which inflicts untold suffering on millions, is one of the widest and oldest. We find evidence of this divide in every faith tradition, including Judaism, where we encounter it numerous times in the Talmud, in reference to the Song of Songs, for example. This work, which revolves around the play of two Lovers, is by far the most erotic book in the Bible. According to the Talmud, the Song of Songs was set aside to be buried because of its sensual content (Avot De-Rabbi Nathan 1:4). These verses were singled out as particularly offensive: I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me. Come, my beloved, let us go into the open; let us lodge among the henna shrubs. Let us go early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine has flowered, if its blossoms have opened, if the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give my love to you.” (Song of Songs 7:11-13) At length, the rabbis debated whether to include the Song of Songs in the Bible. In their deliberations, they used the curious phrase “renders unclean the hands.” Holy books, in their view, were essentially “too hot to handle” on account of their intrinsic holiness. Handling them, then, renders unclean the hands, that is, makes one more or less untouchable, until specific rituals of purification are carried out.

  • A Love Song for Passover? Source Sheet by Beth Schafer Based on a Sheet by Melissa Buyer-Witman
    A Love Song for Passover? Source Sheet by Beth Schafer Based on a sheet by Melissa Buyer-Witman On Passover, it's traditional to read from Shir ha Shirim or the Song of Songs. The Song of Songs, also known as the Song of Solomon is the first of the five Megillot (scrolls) of Ketuvim (Writings) the last section of the Tanakh (Bible). Scripturally, it is unique in its celebration of sexual love. It gives "the voices of two lovers, praising each other, yearning for each other, proffering invitations to enjoy". The two are in harmony, each desiring the other and rejoicing in sexual intimacy; the women (or "daughters") of Jerusalem form a chorus to the lovers, functioning as an audience whose participation in the lovers' erotic encounters facilitates the participation of the reader. So you must be asking yourself... Why in the world do we read Song of Songs on Passover?? שיר השירים א׳:ט׳-ט״ו Song of Songs 1:9-15 ֙ ֣ ֔ ֖ ְ ,I have likened you, my darling (9) (ט) ְל ֻס ָס ִתי ְּב ִר ְכ ֵבי ַפ ְרעֹה ִ ּד ִּמי ִתיך (To a mare in Pharaoh’s chariots: (10 ַר ְעיָ ִ ֽתי׃ (י) ָנא ֤ווּ ְל ָח ַ֙י ִי ְ֙ך ַּב ּתֹ ִ ֔רים Your cheeks are comely with plaited ַצ ָוּא ֵ ֖ר ְך ַּב ֲחרוּ ִזֽים׃ (יא) ּת ֹו ֵ ֤רי ָז ָה ֙ב wreaths, Your neck with strings of ַנ ֲע ֶׂשה־ ָּ֔ל ְך ִ ֖עם ְנ ֻק ּ֥ד ֹות ַה ָּכֽ ֶסף׃ (יב) jewels.

  • Song of Solomon Notes Studies Completed with Joe Focht, Chuck Smith, Damian Kyle, Jon Courson, Warren Wiersbe, Matthew Henry, and NIV Study Bible
    Song of Solomon Notes Studies completed with Joe Focht, Chuck Smith, Damian Kyle, Jon Courson, Warren Wiersbe, Matthew Henry, and NIV Study Bible. Introduction: One of the favorite and most controversial books of the Bible. - Charles Spurgeon and D.L. Moody listed Song of Solomon as their favorites. - Watchman Nee said “Song of Solomon is the capstone of the Bible.” - Song of Solomon is often called “The Holy of Holies of the Bible.” There are 4 main interpretations of this book: 1. An erotic love story of Solomon and one of his wives. The Talmud and rabbis wouldn’t let Jewish males read it until they were in their 30’s. Sex was God’s idea; “Be fruitful and multiply.” (Gen. 1:26; 2:18) But sex is not only for procreation – this is one of the main themes of Song of Solomon. Certainly, Song of Solomon extols marital love, but it also speaks of a deeper love. 2. The covenant love story between God and the nation Israel. There are numerous places in the Bible (ie. Hosea) where Jehovah is spoken of as the husband and Israel as the wife. 3. The NT love story of Christ and His Bride, the Church. Ephesians 5:22-33 speaks of a marriage between a husband and wife as a picture of Christ’s relationship to the Church. The name, Shulamite, is the feminine form of the male name, Solomon. 4. The marriage between the Shulamite and her shepherd- husband which is being assaulted by the seduction of Solomon, who is a type of the world.

  • Song of Solomon Commentaries
    Song of Solomon Commentaries ECCLESIASTES ISAIAH SONG OF SOLOMON RESOURCES Commentaries, Sermons, Illustrations, Devotionals Introduction: The discerning reader should be aware that many of the commentaries on Song of Solomon interpret this book allegorically (See Interpretative Approach). The "danger" is that allegory searches for a hidden spiritual meaning that transcends the literal sense of the sacred text. For example, the respected commentator Matthew Henry (1662-1714) states that the Song of Solomon "is an allegory" and goes on to add "that after the title of the book (Song of Solomon 1:1) we have Christ and His church, Christ and a believer, expressing their esteem for each other." This is not the literal, natural meaning but an allegorical interpretation which begs the question of whose "allegory" or hidden meaning is correct, a problem which is not faced when one interprets the text literally. Commentaries that take a predominantly allegorical approach to the Song of Solomon are (with a few exceptions) not included in this list. It is also notable that there is a paucity of preaching on this book. I have tried to include sermons that interpret the text literally, but as I read through or listened to these sermons (a sampling), there were frequent points of disagreement. Therefore be very discerning as you read/listen to sermons on the Song of Solomon. For example, out of my respect for the "prince of preachers" all of Spurgeon's sermons are included even though they are predominantly non-literal. Babylonian love poem, eighteenth

  • Song of Songs 1:1 - 2:7
    SONG OF SONGS 1:1 - 2:7 7 Song of Songs The Title (1:1) 1The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s. The title ‘Song of songs' is an indication of the esteem which the editors held for this book. They are claiming that it has a preeminent place among all the other ‘songs’ at- tributed to Solomon. In the Book of Kings we read: Solomon composed three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered a thousand and five. – 1Kings 4:32 The link with 'Solomon' associates the Song with Proverbs and Ecclesiastes in the Hebrew Bible and Wisdom in the Greek Septuagint Bible – all linked to the man whom tradition saw as the wisest of men. God gave Solomon very great wisdom, discernment, and breadth of understanding as vast as the sand on the seashore. – 1Kings 4:29 King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. – 1Kings 10:23 We find this tradition present in the New Testament. The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and see, something greater than Solomon is here! – Matthew 12:42 The editors are claiming that the Song of Songs offers authoritative wisdom that ex- ceeds the wisdom found in other books. Since the subject of the book is love between a woman and a man, with the primary perspective being that of the woman, the link with Solomon, and so with Wisdom, prepares us for a song that will offer us wisdom in rela- tion to sexual love.
