Song of Songs: The Bible Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2020
- Watch our Introduction video on the book of Song of Songs, which outlines the book's main theme and how it is fulfilled in Jesus.
Song of Songs tells a story about love, longing, passion, and waiting through a collection of songs about a bride and a groom. People often think this book is only about sexual intimacy or only a metaphor for our relationship with God. The beauty of this song, and why it is the called the greatest song ever written, is that it is about both. Only when we are intimate with God can we be properly intimate with anyone else. Only when we give holy love to others are we truly living in God's holy love for us.
Ultimately, though, Song of Songs is about absence and longing. There are constant warnings to not awaken love until the proper time mixed with seasons of the groom's absence that leave the bride desperate and alone. This longing is meant to frame what is our common experience of God's presence. Yes, there are times of beautiful intimacy where we feel close to God. But there are also seasons that seem to interrupt that intimacy with doubt, absence, and a sense of longing.
We hope this introduction to Song of Songs helps you understand and appreciate this important book. We also hope it validates your sense of longing and feelings of absence, showing you that God knows they exist and is drawing near to you to bring healing and satisfaction in the person of Jesus.

I think the first time I ever realized the true meaning of sex was when I watched Outlander. Clair and Jaime get married and they didn’t know each other that well. They spend hours getting to know eachother, and reveal their feelings for eachother and then do it. It shows the change from friendship to love and the sacredness of marriage. It was so beautiful, and then I finally understood why sex should only happen in marriage; marriage is a protection of the heart, and it keeps the heart safe. To show your whole self to someone takes a lot of trust, and for someone to marry you is their oath. Divorce was never meant to exist, and I know that people have reasons for divorce; what I’m saying is that before sin there was no reason for divorce, because there was no brokenness in a marriage. Divorce can happen for good reasons, and that is not something I doubt. I’m just saying that since marriage is a promise, that is why sex is meant to only happen in marriage. As much as someone can love you, if they haven’t made those vows yet then you should not give your whole self to them yet; because they have not made an oath to stay no matter what yet. You are worth the wait my dear, and if someone isn’t willing to put into law their oath then they are not worth your all. Don’t give yourself away until you two make that oath. Sex is fun, but when you are married you can be at ease because they have pledged themselves to you.
This!!!
@@frenne_dilley Who directed this film? I’d like to look i to it.
Beautifully said ❤️🙏🏿❤️!!
Thank you for your beautiful comment. Yes, eros is one of the strongest powers, and we should only have access to it when it has become intertwined and in service of a greatest power, the Power of Love, a Love which is acknowledging to be one only thing with another soul, which determines the reason to get united in the body too. I only disagree with one point: in the early Christian age marriage was not a promise. The idea of marriage implying a vow and a promise is very late, it only comes up within Catholicism in the Middle Ages. When a mother gives birth to her baby she doesn't promise she'll love it, feed it, watch over it and take care of it. She simply naturally does that out of her own need and pleasure to do that. So do true lovers.
For myself, my daughters and grandchildren
Everytime I go to church on Sunday and I listen to the church sing and worship Christ, this exact video represents how I feel in that moment. The church is like a woman waiting for her husband and anticipating his return.
This was absolutely beautiful. I started crying around 5:16, when it started talking about our desires to be desired and loved perfectly. Sundays have been a little hard for me over the past half year or so; my boyfriend and I broke up in January, but we're still attending the same church. We both genuinely believed we were going to get married-- he actually proposed a few months before the breakup, and I was engaged very briefly before I realized we really needed to work through more things first. And then it turned out there was a /lot/ of stuff going on below the surface that I had been blinding myself to. I only started fully seeing it after my boyfriend thankfully ended things. While the relationship was going, I pretty much /had/ to blind myself, because I felt like the decision had already been made-- we'd agreed we would get married, I was my beloved's and my beloved was mine-- and if this was the man God had for me, then I had to just be content and accept the way things were, because I really couldn't expect more.
I am definitely at peace with how things turned out-- I thank God almost daily that He didn't let us go through with it-- but it still hurts. This was the man I thought I would be spending the rest of my life with, and while I'm glad now that I won't, I still care about him and miss him. Even after we've started talking a little more now, it's hard seeing him on Sunday and knowing that I am no longer his and he is no longer mine.
But thank God that there is a greater love waiting for me. Thank God that I don't have to settle for less because I think I don't deserve more. Thank God that He cared for and /wanted/ me so badly that He was willing to die to get me, and He will never just tolerate me or make me feel like I'm difficult to love; He will not remain distant, He will not make me constantly chase after Him, but He will pursue me like a bridegroom who will never, ever let me go.
Marriage is a covenant, I am glad he allowed things to happen so you won’t feel like you are stuck and being married to someone for the motion! Everything happens for a reason , Roman’s 8:28. He loves you and he wants someone who loves him and will completely love you for who you are no matter what ! Praying for your healing ! God is close to the broken hearted and he has a man of God out there who will fulfill your hearts desire ! Blessing
Saturday is Sabbath. Satan and the world has deceived many into thinking it’s on Sunday. there will be a petition for Sunday worship - deny it and do not sign for it is of the antichrist to come.
trust in Jesus Christ. for his plans are greater than ours and he wants the best for us. i was in a 5yr relationship that ended 3yrs ago. i am now getting over it and Jesus hasn’t given up on me. he never has. i had a lot to work on. i lost myself in that relationship. i was putting her first - waking up, going throughout my day, and going to bed talking to her on the phone. Jesus is a jealous God, he loves us so much it’s unimaginably impossible to fully comprehend. therefor why shouldn’t he come first above all else? put him first ALWAYS! for we are not here on earth for long, but with Jesus Christ for eternity if we are welcomed into his kingdom.
God bless you. don’t lose hope - your hope is in Jesus Christ
I cried for Jesus how much he loves us and how romantic marriage love is beautiful thing to work together.
Quit throwing random talk, get real
This is about Jesus and his bride the church. The passion of Jesus and his deep love , longing for his bride, the church waiting for the bridegroom,Jesus. Jesus is the lover of all lovers, Jesus is better then the son of men, he is more beautiful then thousands and thousands, he is my beloved and I am his.
It is about Yahusha and His people, Israel. It has no mention of the church.
Church is new israel
@Jay Cee but that is the Church tho, the Church is the bride, aka the people. "Church" in this context has nothing to do with the building or the sunday gatherings.
Well, well, said and true.
@@jaycee9752 we are one body .the body of Christ.
Wow such depth I kept thinking before it was said “we look for love to fill us but theirs always a void that only Jesus our bridegroom fills” that fills us completely with His Love that is true Love. Let the bride say “even so Yeshua, come ❤️🔥” this is beautifully done, Praise God and glory be to Him 📖🔥🙏🏼 I honestly cried just thinking of Jesus and such profound truth. Amen halleluyah!
Sister Marie, you just explained exactly how I feel and what I'm getting from this
Jesus is our Bridegroom! 🙏🏻❤️
OUR bridegroom. Does this mean, it’s a one bridegroom, many brides situation?
This was absolute deep. I love it so much, it showed a wonderful explanation of that chapter. This made me smile.
I cried again. With a heavy heart, we shall all await.
Even though we wait for Jesus we can still experience his presence without limits and live in it even here on earth continually 🔥💯✝️
I went to a Catholic High School. During Bible class I would sneak and read Song of Songs instead of the assigned verses we were studying. I always thought the poetry was so beautiful; and loved the intimacy of the lovers. Reading the Song of Songs made me desire someone who loved me that much. Now 20+ years later I finally see that someone did love me that much...Jesus. I guess I'm finally seeing that my bridegroom was there all along. Just not who I thought.
Wow! That was really powerful! As someone who is longing for a spouse, this really spoke to me. I loved the portrayal of Jesus as the Heavenly bridegroom. Soo beautiful. Wow! To think Jesus loves me that much is incredible.
When I read Song of Songs and think through the things this video illustrates, sometimes I have such longing for the Beloved that I almost don’t want any other lover. If it isn’t His perfection, I don’t want it, unless it helps me see His perfection more.
Forgive me Lord God for not understanding this book of your Word as it was meant to be conveyed.
My You Version study said for today, "no posted content. Read a verse of your choice."
I didn't search for this video, i was looking for something else but i found Spoken Gospel's intro to Romans, which i watched.
Then this came up next. I am so glad, and blessed that I saw it. I never before thought of the Song of Songs as a message about Jesus of Nazareth.
Amen!
Thank you Spoken Gospel for all your hard work bringing these messages to people like me.
Jaw dropping. Compliments especially to the choreographer, the set designer with the doors, kingly bed and garden wall and to the DANCERS! Again you nail casting and the leads captures so much emotion…
I never thought of the book like this.
Can't wait!!! Ecclesiastes and Proverbs and Job was amazingly explained with the skits praise God!
I pray this comment depicts how much love & gratitude I feel from watching this video!🤎🙏 I know this was God because I was in this very book of The Holy Bible this morning!! To receive a notification that this video was made to give me a visual to what I JUST was studying makes me all the more pleased & joyful in God! I love you guys for doing God's Work!🥰🥰🥰🥰✝️✝️✝️✝️
Well I didn't plan on crying like a 2 year old today but here I am...such a beautiful video 🧡
Waow. This is amazingly made and through dance which is my passion. I must admitt I cried lol thank you for this great way of explaining the Bible.
Me too I cried! lol wow it is profoundly amazing. Glory be to God in the highest, only Jesus satisfies the soul ♥️
@Priki 85
I watched this yesterday for the first time and couldn‘t stop crying. On the one hand, because it moved me so much, on the other hand, because I remembered, how I was in Jesus arms and how beautiful it was to be safe, to have a home. I felt so left alone, that I couldn‘t handle the pain anymore. The pain of being left alone so many times, failed so many times, always pushed around but never fully accepted.
Every time I thought I had found someone that would satisfy this yearning, this longing to be wanted, to be loved, to be needed, to be desired not as something you just play with and then after a few months it is said: „Well, we don't need you anymore. You can go.“
Once again I'm pushed away, pushed aside; used, but not wanted, taken, but then thrown away.
Oh my goodness this video made me cry happy tears, thank you to everyone that had a hand in making it! I've been researching Song of Songs and the different interpretations of it recently but this is just so, SO soaked with hope and clarity and understanding ❤️
Wow this was so beautifully explained. It definitely reminded me of what I went through with a past relationship, and how it was when I came to experience all of God's love. His love that that you can always depend on and trust, knowing He will never hurt you nor forsake you. Thank you for making this. God bless
This is intimate, deep, and so freeing 😭🔥❤️
A beautiful message told by beautiful dancers!!❤❤
My God, this is beautiful 😭
Glory to God🙌🏾

Wow This was such a blessing to watch Thank you to everyone that followed the lead of the Holy Spirit in making this beautiful anointed video!

So good! God be praised!!
I watched this masterpiece many times. It always leaves me feeling a little more closer to Jesus . Thank you for all you do. From New York.

My beloved is the most beautiful among thousands and thousands. Yeshua 🙏this video is loaded with deep truths and secrets of the Love of God in the Spirit 😭❤️.
I come back here every few months🥲
Bravo. Praise God.
The part of almost giving up on love because of the way we often experience it hit home, but the portrayal of Jesus as that genuine lover we've been looking for gives me hope. It also taught me that even if we don't have what we desire at the moment, hope itself is a beautiful light that glows our spirit. Such a beautiful masterpiece
The most beautiful LOVE story ever!! ❤️
DEEP. DEEP. DEEP. DEEP. DEEP......ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT, IN THE NAME OF JESUS! THANK YOU, AND GOD BLESS YOU.
I cry every time I watch these videos 😭 so beautiful.
Beautiful depiction of Christ love for the Church (Bride) and our wait/longing for His Return!

So beautiful 💖
Beautiful!
Thank you so much for this amazing video this was my first time watching one of your videos and I really felt every word said thank you for the explanation. As I read the book I thought of it as waiting for the right person which is true but the right person is Jesus Christ because he is never going to change he always loves us and can’t wait to be reunited with us and that is what makes this book so amazing. From both the intimacy of having a spouse and also Jesus’s love for us and the Love we should have for him
Spectacular! Rewarding!
May God bless you
I love watching these videos!!

Thank you!
Thank you. I am preaching this book soon and have found little help understanding this book. You did great job putting to words what I have been feeling this book says. Thank you again!
So glad to be part of your research for your sermon! Praying the Lord speaks boldly through you. 🙏
And now I’m crying. Wow.
Thank you for making this video! Previously a science student, I'm now studying "Songs of Song" in a theology school. I felt so lost in the classes when the lecturer explained the literature features of the poems as I struggled to figure out the plot of the chapters and the whole book. My assessment essay will be due next month but I have no idea where and how to start. I just know I need to put aside my logical thinking and open up my heart to FEEL what the song is all about first.
While watching your video, I'm so touched by the dancers (actresses) and for the first time I have the thought that: Oh! The Shir Hashirim is not just about the Bride's (and Bridgroom's) desire and experience of love. How about the Daughters of Zion / Jerusalem? How about me myself?
And the second thought that came up was that I felt being invited to join those daughters and, from their perspective, to go through each chapter and the whole book again. Thanks once again 😊
