The Song of Solomon, or Song of Songs, describes the experience of seekers of the Lord Jesus through several progressive stages. As seekers, we are drawn by Christ’s love, delighted by His name, and enamored by His person so we can pursue Him and be led into corporate life as His body in the church.
Then the seeker is called to embrace the cross for the fulfilling of our Bridegroom’s purpose for us in the divine life. Next, the seeker is summoned to live in ascension life in the heavenlies and to even enter within the veil for a deeper work of the cross to become one with the Lord spirit-to-Spirit.
The first section of the Song of Solomon is focused on individual transformation. The second section depicts the seeker becoming part of corporate life and a co-worker with her Bridegroom King. Finally, the seeker becomes transformed into the wonderful Shulammite, who, as the expression of Solomon, is the greatest and ultimate figure of the many-membered New Jerusalem and the Bride of Christ.
