Remember we are in the third of the five Books of Hebrew Wisdom Literature.
Each is a Divinely Inspired insight on a facet of life.
1. In JOB, He is our Sure Redeemer. This book gives THE TRUTH FROM GOD ON SUFFERING.
2. In PSALMS, He is our Shepherd. This book gives THE TRUTH FROM GOD ON WORSHIP.
3. In PROVERBS, He is Wisdom Incarnate. This book gives THE TRUTH FROM GOD ON LIVING (principles, not promises).
4. In ECCLESIASTES, He is the only hope of contentment. This book gives THE TRUTH FROM GOD ON LIFE.
5. In SONG OF SOLOMON, He is our Beloved. This book gives THE TRUTH FROM GOD ON LOVING.
Some have said that Solomon’s three books may have arisen from the three stages of his life.
• Song of Solomon from the young man in love.
• Proverbs from the wisdom of a mature man at his zenith. And
• Ecclesiastes from an old and bitter man looking back on his wasted opportunities. . .
We are sure of Solomon’s vast reputation for wealth and wisdom.
His fleet was known to the ports of the world.
His commercial enterprises brought him vast and rare treasures.
Those ships in Eilat would wind their way from Gibraltar to Arabia and India.
Exotic goods of the fabled East and the jungles of Africa flowed into Jerusalem.
Vast caravans plied the trade routes east and west, bringing the world’s goods to his doorstep. Women from every corner of the world sought, and hundreds found his favor.
Romance and love flowed from this incredible man.
From this era flows the SONG OF SOLOMON.
