What does this difficult book teach us? There are four enduring views: 1. It sets forth the 'glory of wedded love'; declaring the sacredness of marital relationship, and that marriage is a divine institution. 2. It sets forth the love of Jehovah for Israel. The prophets spoke of Israel as the wife of Jehovah. These two interpretations have been set forth by the Scribes and Rabbis of Israel, and have been accepted by the church. However, there are two other interpretations. 3. It is a picture of Christ and the Church. The Church is the bride of Christ, a familiar figure of Scripture (2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5:27; Rev. 21). 4. It depicts the communion of Christ and the individual believer. The soul's communion with Christ is here set forth.
