Every story in the Bible is either a story that did happen or will happen. But there is one story that most believe is some sort of metaphor symbolizing God’s love for the church. Why? Because someone else said so? The book itself gives no indication that it’s meant to be treated as a metaphor. In fact when you really read into it it seems quite silly to think of it as metaphor. I’m talking about song of Solomon.
SOS 4:11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue. The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon
you really think that this is how God would express his love for you? 🤨
Song of Solomon is a story meant to be taken literally. And if this was a story that already happened then we would know who these two individuals are and their significance to God. But we don’t, therefore it must be prophetic. And the only two people who have been prophesied to come who has not come yet are the two witnesses.
And there are two major clues within the story that indicate that this story could only occur in our time.
SOS 3:1-2 All night long on my bed I looked for the one my heart loves; I looked for him but did not find him. I will get up now and go about the city, through its streets and squares; I will search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but did not find him.
tell me how someone in ancient times would look for someone while not leaving their bed? In ancient times this is impossible and silly. But in our time in the age of social media and smartphones these verses make sense.
SOS 5:6 I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone. My soul failed me when he spoke. I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he gave no answer.
He nocked but by the time she answered he was already gone. Then he said something that saddened her. How is it that he’s able to speak to her while not being there? In ancient times not possible. But in our time with cell phones this is possible.
Song of Solomon is a story of the two witnesses meeting, falling in love, being separated for a time, then the world witnesses them reunite and marry.
If you read my former post you know that I claim that Cain is one of the two witnesses. As for who she is unfortunately the Bible doesn’t give as many clues for her as it did for Cain. But as I said in my former post my insights come from God. And based on what God told me I can say that this woman is Eve and the Virgin Mary. These two have played every role there is to play in each others lives. They’ve been twins, mother and son, father and daughter, in this life they’re best friends. And husband and wife.
I’m guessing you’re not Christian
raised mormon! but alas, youre correct. when i dug into the origins it fell apart as all religions do.
whats funny about mormons/scientology… those founders were documented fakers. they told people they were going to create religions for their own benefit, and then did so! fortunately it happened recently enough we have that documentation. personally, i dont see any real difference between them and all the rest.
reminds me of that line; 'out of 10,000 religions that man has created mine, this one, is real!"
That’s funny. Atheism fell apart for me for the same reason.
haha theres only one “not believing”… your religion is one of many, many thousands which are little more than stories crafted by human beings. there is zero equivalency.
if all religions and knowledge of them suddenly disappeared tomorrow not one would be recreated ‘as is’, which is not the same for atheism.
were all atheists until some human convinces us to believe their stories.
That’s cool. Let me know when you come up with a convincing narrative for how everything was created without a Creator.
who created your creator again? i forget
The creator 😉
so its just creators all the way down?
it seems like youre saying so its ok to not know where the unimaginably complex OG creator came from, as you clearly dont… but its not ok to apply that same rational to the unimaginably complex universe?
again, the only difference between those 2 things are that one of them was a story created by man, and the other is the environment in which we find ourselves.
you dont even trust me, why would you trust the words some guys wrote in an ancient novel?
You’re thinking linearly. Time is a circle. There is only one Creator and he created himself. He was not created by another creator.
That’s your assumption.
I know God. I trust God.
Then reality would be God since creation is a conscious action.
