Introduction: The Song of Solomon is a Biblical love story. It is probably written about King Solomon and his beloved Abishag, but best understood as an allegory of Christ and His beloved, the church

“It is a book of deep mystery, not to be understood except by the initiated. This book stands like the Tree of Life in the midst of the Garden, and no one will ever be able to pluck its fruit and eat of it until he has been brought by Christ past the sword of the cherubim and led to rejoice in the love that has delivered him from death.” (Charles Spurgeon)

Song of Solomon 4:16 — As the fragrance of the spice tree lies latent until the wind blows filling the earth with the spice’s fragrance, so also the fruit of the Spirit lies latent until the wind of the Spirit blows filling the earth with the saint’s sweet smelling savor.

Song of Solomon 5:16 — In the incredible miracle of the Incarnation, He who is altogether lovely appeared without comeliness. (Isaiah 53:2)
