  • Nevermore Mazongo on Song of Solomon 5 - 12 years ago
    1. Verses 1 to 6 provide us with a testimony of how some people find themselves too comfortable and too wealthy and too busy that they do not see why they should worship God.
    Although many opportunities present themselves to them to accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour, they feel uncomfortable and embarassed in their social circles to accept Jesus Christ in their lives.

    2. Later on in life when they find themselves in trouble or in a crisis they try to turn to Jesus Christ but they fail to connect to him because of their sinful and selfish intentions.No matter how hard they try the spirit of sin flowing in their blood blocks them from receiving Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

    3.Verse 7 is quite interesting.Listen carefully.
    The watchmen are people who saveguard the interests of earthly sinful beings.These are 'worldly people'.The self righteous.Those who are wise in their own eyes and are more concerned with worldly affairs than worshipping God and living in righteousness.

    Note: Song of Solomon 3:3.
    At first the watchmen see a sinner looking for Jesus Christ and they tell the sinner they have never seen him.
    The sinner finds Jesus Christ just soon afterwards and they do not have the power to stop the sinner from accepting Jesus Christ.One thing to note here is that the 'watchmen will never and cannot lead you to Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

    Now, listen very carefully, when the saved person backslides then all hell breaks loose.
    The 'watchmen' readily embrace the backslider and encourages him/her to sink deeper into sin than before.If you were into drugs before the 'watchmen' buy you more and more drugs and even introduce you to harder ones.If you were into fornication they encourage you even more.They encourage you to sleep around and to marry more wives for sexual pleasure.If you were into alcohol they invite you to more and more parties.This is how the 'watchmen' kill you both physically and spiritually.
    This happens because you would have taken away God's protection.Just like if you throw away your umbrella in rain you surely get wet.So my dear ones, this verse is much more loaded than your precious time will allow me to elucidate.

    Just imagine the progical son in Luke 15:11-32 deciding to leave his father for the second time.

    4.Verses 8 and 9 talk of the daughters of Jerusalem.Who are the daughters of Jerusalem? These are people who persue and seek worldly power, wealth,influence, fame and personal pleaure.They are spiritually bankrupt and they lack righteousness.They detruct people from worshipping God.They detract people from following Jesus Christ, the Messiah.They enslave people through fornication,sex,alcohol,drugs,tobacco,gambling,entertainment,divination,witchcraft,fortunetelling, magic,false,religion,politics,cults,sorcery,astrology,observing times,formenting wars for business,spreading of deadly diseases for money, fake researches,misinformation, you name it.

    In verse 9 these daughters of Jerusalem ask those who backslide what is so special about your Beloved, there are so many women out there.

    This happens when someone tells you there is nothing special about Jesus Christ, the Messiah.Someone will tell you there are many prophets or many religions out there so why do you have to seek only Jesus Christ, the Messiah?

    5.Verses 10 to 16 gives an explanation of why the Word of God, Jesus Christ, the Messiah is far much superior than any other doctrine or prophet ever sent from God.These verses show us that there is none on earth like Jesus Christ, the Messiah and people can and will only get salvation through accepting Jesus Christ as the Messiah and as their Saviour.

    6. My humble question to my Moslem brothers and sisters all over the world.

    If Song of Solomon 5:16 refers to prophet Muhammad (pbuh) do you then take the Holy Bible as the true word of God?
    Do we cherry pick verses in the Bible for our convenience?
    You have two choices.
    1.Either you accept the Bible as the word of God and follow what it says.or
    2.You disregard the Bible totally and do not quote any verse in the Bible to support your religion.Because in your eyes the Bible is not authentic.

    Glory be to God All Mighty.The Creator of the heavens and earth.The God of Abraham.The God of Israel.The One and Only.The Alpha and the Omega.
    The Creator of everything that was, that is, and that will ever be.

    Peace and Love and Mercy of God be upon us.
