This book is speaking of the spiritual marital love relationship which exists between Christ and His Church. He is the Bridegroom; she is the Bride. This relationship of marriage between a man and a woman is expressly spoken of as a "mystery" in Ephesians Chapter 5, verse 32.

So let us ask ourselves now, a couple of important questions. 1st of all – Who are these virgins and what are the ointments which they are so pleased with? 2nd Question – Why is His name to them as ointment poured forth?
