Jump to Previous AriseBeautifulBelovedDarlingFairFriendLoveLovedRespondedRiseSpeaksJump to Next AriseBeautifulBelovedDarlingFairFriendLoveLovedRespondedRiseSpeaksSong of Solomon 2 1.the mutual love of Christ and his church8.The hope10.and calling of the church14.Christ's care of the church16.The profession of the church, her faith, and hopeMy beloved calls to meThis phrase highlights the intimate and personal nature of the relationship between the speaker and the beloved. In the context of the Song of Solomon, this can be seen as a representation of the love between Christ and the Church. The call signifies an invitation to a deeper relationship, echoing the call of Christ to His followers in passages like Matthew 11:28, where Jesus invites those who are weary to come to Him for rest. The beloved's voice is one of authority and love, reminiscent of John 10:27, where Jesus says, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." Arise, my darling
The command to "arise" suggests a call to action or a change in state. It can be seen as an invitation to leave behind the old life and embrace a new one, similar to the call of Christ to rise from spiritual slumber (Ephesians 5:14). The term "darling" indicates a deep affection and chosen status, reflecting the special relationship between God and His people, as seen inDeuteronomy 7:6, where Israel is described as a treasured possession. Come away with me
This invitation to "come away" implies a journey or a transition to a new place or state of being. It suggests leaving behind distractions and focusing on the beloved, akin to the call of Jesus to His disciples to leave everything and follow Him (Mark 1:17-18). The phrase can also be seen as a call to intimacy and seclusion with God, reminiscent of the wilderness experiences where God often met with His people, such as Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 24:12). my beautiful one
The term "beautiful one" signifies the beloved's worth and value in the eyes of the caller. It reflects the transformative power of love, where the beloved is seen as beautiful and cherished. This mirrors the way Christ views the Church, as described inEphesians 5:27, where the Church is presented as a radiant bride, without stain or wrinkle. The beauty here is not just physical but also spiritual, indicating purity and holiness bestowed by the relationship with the beloved. Persons / Places / Events 1. The BelovedIn the Song of Solomon, the beloved is often interpreted as Solomon or a representation of Christ in allegorical readings. He is the one who speaks tenderly to his love. 2. The DarlingThe darling, or the Shulammite woman, represents the bride or the church in allegorical interpretations. She is the recipient of the beloved's affection and invitation. 3. The SettingThe Song of Solomon is set in a pastoral and romantic landscape, often interpreted as a metaphor for the intimate relationship between God and His people. 4. The InvitationThe event described is an invitation to rise and come away, symbolizing a call to deeper relationship and communion. 5.

Teaching Points The Call to IntimacyJust as the beloved calls the darling to arise and come away, God calls us to a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him. This requires us to leave behind distractions and focus on His voice. Responding to God's InvitationThe passage encourages believers to respond to God's invitation with eagerness and readiness. It is a reminder to prioritize our spiritual journey and relationship with God. Spiritual RenewalThe change in season signifies a time for spiritual renewal and growth. Believers are encouraged to embrace new beginnings and allow God to transform their lives. The Beauty of the ChurchThe beloved's description of the darling as "beautiful" reflects how God sees His church. It is a reminder of our identity in Christ and the beauty of being part of His body. Living in ExpectationThe invitation to "come away" suggests living with an expectation of God's presence and work in our lives. It challenges us to be attentive and responsive to His leading. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Song of Solomon 2
What defines knowing someone in a romantic context?
What themes are explored in the Song of Solomon?
Does the romantic language throughout Song of Solomon 2 conflict with traditional interpretations of divine or covenantal themes elsewhere in the Bible?
In Song of Solomon 2:8-9, how can we reconcile the depiction of the lover 'leaping' over mountains with literal geography or biology?Verse 10. - My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. The word "spake" Conveys the meaning in answer to a person appearing, but not necessarily in answer to a voice heard. We most suppose that Shulamith recognized her beloved, and made some sign that she was near, or looked forth from the window. As the soul responds, it is more and more invited; the voice of the Bridegroom is heard calling the object of his love by name, "I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine" ( Isaiah 43:1).
