Tony Evans Bible Commentary,
Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda.

This book calls itself “The Song of Songs, which is
Solomon’s” (verse 1:1), but the phrasing reflects
the ambiguity of the Hebrew words. It could be
understood as claiming that King Solomon is the
author, or it could indicate that it was written for
Solomon. The traditional position of the church is
that Solomon authored the book.
Song of Songs, Introduction, Author

Some critical Bible scholars believe Solomon’s
authorship impossible, pointing to words that
reflect Greek and Persian influence—which would
be problematic because those kingdoms didn’t
arise for hundreds of years after his death. They
claim that these words demonstrate that the
book was written after the exile—not during the
time of the monarchy of Solomon’s day.

The “evidence” to which they point, though, is
inconclusive. Other scholars have shown that
these words may actually come from other
Semitic languages contemporary with Solomon’s
day, and many words and descriptions in the book
actually favor a date during Israel’s monarchy.

Thus, we are on good ground to believe that
verse 1:1 refers to Solomon as the writer. True,
Solomon strayed significantly from the biblical
ideal for marriage, having hundreds of wives and
concubines (1 Kings 11:3). His sin, however, did
not prevent God from graciously using him to
reveal divine truth.

Historical Background
The book is an example of an ancient Near
Eastern love song. The closest parallel to it is
the Egyptian love poetry that existed during
Solomon’s time. Given his extensive
knowledge, Solomon would have been
familiar with such literature (1 Kings 4-29-
34).

Historical Background
The various place names mentioned in Song of
Songs were located in the northern part of
Solomon’s kingdom (e.g., Damascus, Shunem,
Tirzah, and Mount Hermon).
After the division of the kingdom into north (Israel)
and south (Judah), a poem about a king in Jerusalem
likely would not have included these locations.

Message and Purpose
Song of Songs is a book that is often
misunderstood, misapplied, or simply unread. It is
the lover’s song, a story about God’s love applied
to human relationships. God wants that love
expressed in romantic relationships; therefore,
Solomon is allowed to bring in a man and a
woman on their journey to and into their
marriage.

His telling includes the physical part of their
union—which is something that God himself
endorses. The Song of Songs is a very tender,
touching—and, yes, sensual—book given to us so
that we can understand not only how we can
relate to God, but how he wants us to relate to
one another within the context of marriage.
Message and Purpose

God doesn’t shy away from these matters. So,
because God gave us this book, let’s find out what
he has to say about tenderness, care, and love as
a reflection of his kingdom relationship with us.
Message and Purpose

Message and Purpose
Although this book is a rich celebration of the
beauty of human love and intimacy between a
husband and wife, it also points to the wonder of
divine love. God gives us gifts in the physical
world to teach us spiritual realities.

Message and Purpose
The intimacy possible in marriage points us to the
greatest intimacy of all: our eternal relationship
with our Savior. In fact, Paul says the mystery of a
one-flesh union between a man and a woman is
meant to preview the union of Christ and the
church (Ephesians 5:29-31).

Catch the foxes for us ... that ruin the vineyards
(verse 2:15)
This is a vivid way of addressing the fact that little
things can wreck a relationship. Marriages aren’t
usually destroyed by major issues or events. Rather,
they are harmed by the little things that go
unaddressed. Over time, they will grow and cause a
relationship to decay. So, deal with them early. Seek
counseling together, if necessary, to identify and
catch your own “foxes” before it’s too late.

4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and
seal the book until the time of the end;
many shall run to and fro, and knowledge
shall increase.”
Daniel 12:4 NKJV

The Book of Daniel was sealed up until End
Time. The Book of Revelation and the Book
of Daniel have a relationship one that of a
padlock and a key.
Daniel, the Book of Daniel, is the key that
unlocks the Book of revelation. Without
unlocking the Book of Revelation from its
key, the book remains a mystery to us.

Much of what Daniel wrote was fulfilled (has
come to pass) but the entire future is fully
prophesied and presented in the Book of
Daniel, and Daniel pictures fully paint the
book of Revelation.

In how to study the bible, the Book of
Revelation is the last book to study because
it only puts all Old Testament Revelations of
Jesus together as well as putting together all
future prophesies from the Old Testament.

The Apostle John pulls out all the strings of
the Old Testament and puts them together in
poetry to give us the entire Revelation of
Jesus. If you have no knowledge and
understanding of the Books of the Old
Testament, you cannot understand the Book
of Revelation reason the book comes last in
the bible.

Before the End Time, people could not fully
understand the Book of Daniel because it
was sealed up and even we see Daniel clearly
stating that he could not understand. Daniel
12:8 And I heard, but I understood not.

But now, End time, we (Christians) fully
understand the book. Realize that the Book
of Daniel was written around 600 B.C., before
Jesus’ first coming to the world, before the
End Time.

Daniel was presented with the
entire End Time prophetically but
instructed to seal it up until the End
Time when knowledge shall
increase.

9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the
words are closed up and sealed till the time of the
end.
10 Many shall be purified, made white, and
refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and
none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise
shall understand.
Daniel 12:9-10 NKJV

Yes! Only the purified, made white and wise
are the only people to understand the Book
of Daniel not the wicked. The Book of Daniel
is only for the true Bride of Christ, true
Christians, not hypocrites. The Book of
Revelation written in the End Time throws
more light to the Book of Daniel, the Book of
Daniel being the key to unlock the Book of
Revelation.

The Reason the Book of Daniel was sealed:
One reason the Book of Daniel was
sealed is because it contains the
Revelation of Jesus Christ and Jesus had
not revealed Himself to humanity when
the book was written; He had not yet
come to the world to be with man and
establish His kingdom.

After Jesus revealed Himself to man,
being a man and staying in the world
with man, He fully revealed Himself to us
in the Book of Revelation. The Book of
Revelation is the Revelation of Jesus
Christ.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave
unto him…. (Rev 1:1). If you cannot understand
the Book of Daniel, you cannot understand the
Book of Revelation. And ask yourself, ‘Am I a
true Christian or a hypocrite?’ …and none of
the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall
understand (Dan 12:10).

10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words
of the prophecy of this book, for the time is
at hand. 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust
still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he
who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he
who is holy, let him be holy still.”
Revelation 22:10-11 NKJV

We see in the Book of Revelation God clearly
instructing the writer, Apostle John, to seal not
the book; to unseal.
If you keenly look at the words in the verse, they
are the same words in Daniel 12:4, 9 -10.
Yes! Daniel sealed; John unsealed.
Daniel sealed up; John unsealed:

Song of Solomon 2:15-3:5
Relational Foundations

Thru The Bible with J. Vernon McGee.

Her Brothers
15 Catch us the foxes,
The little foxes that spoil the vines,
For our vines have tender grapes.
Song of Solomon 2:15 NKJV

In that day, vineyards were surrounded by stone
walls to keep the animals from destroying the
grapes. But little foxes would find a way to weasel
through the crevices and gnaw on the tender vines
within. Thus, the shepherd-king says to his bride,
"Watch out for the little foxes—those subtle things
that will sneak in, gnaw on the vine, and destroy
your fruit.“ It was a word of warning to the bride,
but she didn't catch it, for watch what happens
next…

They could put up a fence or a wall that would keep
out the big foxes, but they had trouble with the little
foxes. Those little fellows could sneak through. They
were the ones that would sneak in and destroy the
grapes and tear up the young vines. This has a message
for us. "Foxes" are both subtle sins and fox-like men
who corrupt others. Both were resolutely dragged into
the light of day by John the Baptist. Regarding the
subtle sins, he said, "...He that hath two coats, let him
impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat,
let him do likewise....

Exact no more than that which is appointed you.... Do violence
to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with
your wages" (Luke 3:11, 13-14). Then John the Baptist pointed
his finger at Herod whom our Lord called "that old fox" (Luke
13:32) and told him that he had no right to be married to
another man's wife. I tell you, a preacher doesn't make
himself popular when he says that kind of thing! Old Herod
had John the Baptist killed by chopping off his head.
However, it is the young foxes that get into the contemporary
church and cause trouble.

The little sins spoil the fellowship among believers and spoil a
Christian's life. For example, there are the little sins of
omission. "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and
doeth it not, to him it is sin" (James 4:17). Here is one of those
little foxes. This is the sin of omission. How often do we see
something that we should do for God, but we didn't do it?
How often have we sinned in this way? We are told that the
Lord Jesus went about doing good.
It is very disconcerting to me that I am so easily satisfied with
just going about.

How often we have intended to write a letter, but we
didn't write it. How often we have intended to do
something for missions, but we neglected to do it. How
many times we should have been praying for someone,
but we neglected to pray. We think of the words of the
prophet Samuel: "...God forbid that I should sin against
the LORD in ceasing to pray for you..." (1 Samuel 12:23).
These are little sins of omission.

Here is another of those little foxes: "...whatsoever is
not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23). How often do we
take a step on our own, but we try to call it a step of
faith? We know it is not really faith; we know we just
want to have our way. That is a sin. It is a little fox. It
gets in and spoils the work of God. We have a tendency
to lean on that very lame and broken reed and try to
hold ourselves up with it and maintain a pious attitude.
We say, "I am doing this because God is leading me,"
when we know it is not true.

We say it so lightly. Romans tells us that whatever we
do that is not of faith is sin. Showing partiality is
another little fox that is seen among God's people.
James lowers the boom on that: "But if ye have respect
[show partiality] to persons, ye commit sin, and are
convinced of the law as transgressors" (James 2:9). I
have had this happen to me just as James described it. I
went to a certain church just to visit, not wanting to be
recognized. I wanted to hear the preacher. When I went
in, the usher was absolutely insulting to me.

He said, "You wait right here." Then he came back and
said, "Well, I don't have a seat for you. You'll have to
stand here in the back." He looked at me for a moment,
then said, "Oh, you're Dr. McGee! I'll get a chair and let
you sit right here!" How tragic it is to see in some
churches a well-known or a wealthy man
acknowledged in the service and some poor man, who
probably is more godly, absolutely ignored. That is a
little fox that really wrecks God's work in our day.

Then there is the little fox of not giving freely to God.
It is not the amount of the giving that is the only thing
that is wrong about it. It is the attitude of giving, the
hypocrisy of it all. We sing songs such as, "Were the
whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far
too small" -- then we put a quarter into the collection
plate! We actually sing lies. We pretend we have given
ourselves and all that we have to the Lord. Oh, my
friend, it is the little foxes that are destroying a lot of
the grapes today.

The next wonderful statement follows closely after the
song of the bridegroom's return, which is symbolic of
the Rapture, that is, Christ's coming again for the
church.

Terraces necessary for many vineyards.
This has to do with those located on the hillsides.
A series of low stone walls above each other, are
constructed along the side of the hill, to keep the
soil in place, and at the right level for growing
grapes. Remains of old terraces in various places
indicate that this custom has been practiced for
many centuries.

A hedge or wall usually built around a vineyard.
An Eastern vineyard is usually surrounded with a
ditch, and the earth from the digging of it is thrown
along the inner side of the ditch, and upon this a
fence of posts, branches, and twigs is built with
thorn-branches on top. Oftentimes a wall of either
stones or sun-dried mud takes the place of the
fence. This serves as protection from foxes, jackals,
or other animals, as well as from any thieves.

In the parable of Jesus, the owner of the vineyard
"hedged it round about" (Matthew 21:33). The Psalmist
recounted what would happen to a vineyard whose
hedges were broken down: "Why hast thou then broken
down the hedges, so that all they which pass by the way
do pluck her? The boar out of the wood doth waste it,
and the wild beast of the field doth devour it" (Psalms
80:12-13). The lover in the Song of Solomon speaks of
"the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines" (Song of
Solomon 2:15).

The beloved rather than the lover may well be the
speaker here. She was probably speaking poetically
about their relationship rather than about literal
foxes and vineyards. Foxes were noted for their
destructive tendencies in crop fields, so her
reference to those animals probably suggested
metaphorically some problems in their relationship.
The beloved was asking her lover to take the
initiative in solving the problems that were
potentially harmful to their relationship.

"The foxes represent as many obstacles or temptations as
have plagued lovers throughout the centuries. Perhaps it is
the fox of uncontrolled desire which drives a wedge of
guilt between a couple. Perhaps it is the fox of mistrust
and jealousy which breaks the bond of love. Or it may be
the fox of selfishness and pride which refuses to let one
acknowledge his fault to another. Or it may be an
unforgiving spirit which will not accept the apology of the
other. These foxes have been ruining vineyards for years
and the end of their work is not in sight" (S. Craig
Glickman, A Song for Lovers, pp. 49-50).

Even in ideal courtships and marriages most
couples encounter some potentially destructive
problems. Their willingness to solve them
together is an evidence of their maturity.

The Shulamite
16 My beloved is mine, and I am his.
He feeds his flock among the lilies.

ThruThe Bible with J.Vernon McGee.
The bride didn't heed the warning of her
beloved, nor did she respond to his
invitation.

Instead, she rolled over in bed and said,
"My beloved is mine. I'm safe in the
position that I have, secure in our
relationship. So go ahead and keep
running on top of the mountains,
skipping over hills. I'll see you later in the
day."

How indicting! How much that's like me. The
Lord wakens me sometimes before the day
begins to break and my natural inclination is to
say, "Oh, Lord, I'm so thankful You're mine. It's
so good to be linked to Your grace, Your mercy,
Your lovingkindness. Go ahead and run on the
mountains—and I'll join You in a little while."

When it's dark outside or cold inside,
when you have been up late the night
before or have a full day ahead, how easy
it is to roll over and take a rain check on
the Lord's invitation to rise up.

This Song of Solomon expresses the highest
spiritual state of the relationship between the
Lord Jesus Christ and the believer. There is no
other book of the Bible which portrays this
relationship any better than this little book,
and there is no higher plane than this right
here: "My beloved is mine, and I am his."

This is one of the deepest, most profound of
all theological truths which our Lord Jesus
put into seven simple words: "...ye in me, and
I in you" (John 14:20).
The bride says, "My beloved is mine, and I
am His."

The Lord Jesus said in effect, "Down here
I took your place when I died on the
cross. I am in you. Now you are to show
forth My life down here in this world." (Of
course, we can only do that in the power
of the Holy Spirit.)

But we are in Him up there -- seated in
the heavenly places, accepted in the
Beloved, joined to Him, risen with Christ.
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek
those things which are above, where
Christ sitteth on the right hand of God"
(Colossians 3:1).

How wonderful! Oh, my friend, if you are
a child of God, why don't you tell Him
that you love Him?
You and I live in a day when we may not
have very much of this world's goods; yet
we are rich.

We don't glory men; we glory in Christ.
"Therefore let no man glory in men. For all
things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos,
or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or
things present, or things to come; all are
yours; And ye are Christ's; and Christ is
God's" (1Corinthians 3:21-23).

We belong to Christ. He is ours. He belongs
to us. He is our Savior. He is our Shepherd.
We ought to draw very close to Him and
appropriate these wonderful spiritual
blessings that are ours. It is a high level of
spiritual life when you and I can say, "My
beloved is mine, and I am his."

"He feedeth among the lilies." This again
refers to the flower-strewn couch upon
which He reclines at the banqueting
table. It speaks of satisfaction, of
fellowship, of joy, of everything that is
wonderful. This world is seeking these
things.

This world is looking for a good time. This
world wants to "live it up." Well, let's
have a good time and live it up by sitting
at Christ's table and rejoicing in Him. This
is a high spiritual level. I'm afraid that
many of us do not "...attain unto it" (I
can’t take it all in) (Psalms 139:6).

Therefore, we have to cry out as the
bride did, "Draw me, we will run after
thee." We can't run, we cannot run the
race that is set before us until we not
only see Jesus but appropriate His power
in our lives. "My beloved is mine, and I
am his."

There are things He desires to say,
revelation He wants to give, places He
longs to take us—but so often we're like
the bride as we say, "I'm so thankful that
You're mine, Lord. I'll see You later."
That's a dangerous thing to do. For, as
the bride will discover, by the time she
rises, her shepherd-king will be gone.

(To Her Beloved)
17 Until the day breaks
And the shadows flee away,
Turn, my beloved,
And be like a gazelle
Or a young stag
Upon the mountains of Bether.

We come back to that picture of Christ as
the hind of the morning. Remember that
we saw Him on that bright morning
standing on the mountain peak in
triumph. All during the night the hunters
had been after His life, and the fierce
dogs had been leaping at Him.

How terrible it was! He went down
through the doorway of death, but He
came up through the doorway of
resurrection. Now, in light of that,
although you and I are presently living in
a dark world, we can look forward to the
daybreak.

My friend, let the redemption that you
have in Christ and all that He has done
for you be meaningful to you. Rest upon
that. Let that be your comfort; let that be
the pillow for your head during the dark
hours of this life -- "until the day breaks,
and the shadows flee away."

As we begin chapter 3 we are still in the
second song, but I would say that we
have come to the second stanza of it.
However, this does begin a new section,
which is set in an altogether different
scene.

At the beginning of this book we were up
in the hill country of Ephraim where we
saw a girl and her family who were
tenant farmers. Now Solomon has won
her heart and has brought her back with
him to Jerusalem.

Though they had some problems in their
relationship (see comments on v. 15), the beloved
knew that her lover belonged to her and she
belonged to him. They were committed to each
other. She could rest in the shepherd-like quality
of his love despite the struggles they shared.
The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of
the Scriptures by Dallas Seminary Faculty.

She said he browses (lit., "he pastures" his flock)
among the lilies (cf. 6:3). Speaking to herself
(using the personal pronouns mine, his, and he) in
2:16, it is likely that verse 17 is also a soliloquy.
Her thoughts of their mutual possession of each
other naturally led to her desire for physical
intimacy.

So, in her mind she invited him to turn (i.e., to
her) with the strength and agility of a gazelle or...
young stag (cf. v. 9; 8:14). Rugged hills (hārê
b̠āt̠er) is literally, "hills or mountains of separation
or cleavage."

Some say this refers to actual mountains—
perhaps "hills of Bether" (niv marg.), though the
location of such a site is unknown. In that case
the hills separated the couple, but this seems
unlikely since he was already at her wall and
lattice (2:9).

It seems preferable to take this as a subtle
reference to her breasts (cf. 4:6), thus an inner
longing that they consummate their marriage. If
that is the meaning, then she wanted that
intimacy to last during the night till the day breaks
(lit., "breathes") at dawn and the night shadows
vanish.

When their marriage was consummated, they did
this (see 4:5-6). As already stated, in expressing
their love in their courtship, the beloved and her
lover used restraint. Yet because of their deep
love and commitment to each other they longed
for their wedding day to come.

A Troubled Night
The Shulamite
1 By night on my bed I sought the one I
love;
I sought him, but I did not find him.

The bride sought her shepherd-king but
couldn't find him because she had missed
the moment when he had given an
invitation to her to come into spectacular
territory with him. Now it's night and
she's alone, wondering where he was.

Have you ever had that experience? Have
you ever wondered, "Where is the Lord?
What's happening? What's going on?
Could it be that when I turned over and
buried my face in the pillow that He
left?"

2 “I will rise now,” I said,
“And go about the city;
In the streets and in the squares
I will seek the one I love.”
I sought him, but I did not find him.

A skydiver must jump when the
instructor says "Jump!" A hang glider
must take off when the air current is
right. A surfer must hit the waves when
the sets are coming in. There are certain
things we cannot postpone.

Many of us are learning that one of them
is responding to the voice of the Lord
when we hear Him say, "Arise. Come
away. I've got some things I want to talk
to you about. I have some things I want
to show you."

It might be a Saturday afternoon, a
Tuesday evening, or an early Thursday
morning. Whenever it is—respond to the
Lord's invitation or you'll miss an
incredible moment and window of time!

3 The watchmen who go about the city
found me;
I said,
“Have you seen the one I love?”

The watchmen were unable to help the
bride locate her lord. In Scripture,
watchmen are symbolic of those
watching over the city. They're leaders.
And yet even they were unable to help
her.

Sometimes we think, "If I could just get
some counseling. If I could just get help
from a leader then I could find the Lord
once again." That's not necessarily the
case.

You need to seek the Lord personally.
"And you shall seek Me and find Me
when ye shall search for Me with all your
heart," the Lord says (Jeremiah 29:13).
It's when you are serious about seeking
the Lord yourself that you will find Him.

The watchmen seem to have been
helpful in directing her to the Beloved. At
least, it was only a short distance from
them that she found Him.

4 Scarcely had I passed by them,
When I found the one I love.
I held him and would not let him go,
Until I had brought him to the house
of my mother,
And into the chamber of her who
conceived me.

When the bride finds her shepherd-king,
she doesn't wait to bring him across town
to their house but takes the first
opportunity possible and the first place
available to be with him.

It's always a blessing when we see people
studying the Word in the park or at the
beach. They're not waiting for a Sunday
service or a Wednesday study. They're
just seeking the Lord even on a Tuesday
or Saturday.

5 I charge you, O daughters of
Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the
field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.

This last part of the chapter is a little gem
in itself. It depicts the return of the king
for his bride. This little Shulamite girl had
waited a long time for the return of the
shepherd to whom she had given her
heart.

One day she is out in the vineyard
working. Down the road there comes a
pillar of smoke, and the cry is passed
along from one group of peasants to
another, "Behold, King Solomon is
coming! (The King is coming!)" -- but she
has work to do.

Then someone comes to her excitedly,
saying, "Oh, King Solomon is asking for
you!" Mystified, she says, "Asking for
me? I don't know King Solomon!" But
when she is brought into his presence,
she recognizes that he is her shepherd-
lover who has come for her.

He places her at his side in the royal
chariot and the procession sweeps on,
leaving the amazed country folk
speechless at the sudden change in the
position of her who had been just one of
them.

How beautifully this pictures the glorious
reality of the return of Christ, our
Beloved, when He comes for His own.

"For the Lord Himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and the
dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are
alive and remain shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in
the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord"
(1Thess. 4:16-17).

John 3:16-17 NKJV
16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His
Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the
world through Him might be saved.”

23a For the wages of sin is death,
• Death in this life (the first death) is 100%.
• Even Jesus, the only one who doesn’t deserve death, died in this
life to pay the penalty for our sin.
• The death referred to in Romans 6:23a is the “second death”
explained in Revelation 21:8.

Revelation 21:8 NKJV
8 “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually
immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the
lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
• Anyone who’s lifestyle is one or more of the sins listed in Revelation
21:8, will experience the “second death,” if they do not repent.
• To Repent means to turn around, to go in the opposite direction, to turn
away from sin and believe in Jesus.

be his God and he shall be My son.”
• In Romans 10:9-10 it’s explained to us how to be
overcomers.

Romans 10:9-10 NKJV
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and
believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.
Romans 10:13 NKJV
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
