It&#8217;s the third of three books composed by legendary King Solomon, the son of David and the builder of the first temple of God in Jerusalem.  It is neither a book of history, law, prophecy or gospel as are nearly all of the other books of the Old Testament; rather, it is a book of poetry &#8211; a beautiful poetic story of the love and romance between a great and mighty king and a poor and lowly country maiden.  How are we to understand such a book?  The key is to realize that this book is a book of figures and symbols.<\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Song of Songs (Program #1)\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-05-11T06:05:20-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Song of Songs (Program #1) - An Introductory Word and Drawn to Pursue Christ for Satisfaction (1)\r\n\r\n&quot;The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's.\r\nLet him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!\r\nFor your love is better than wine.\r\nYour anointing oils have ...\" \/><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Songofsongs\/Song_01.mp3\" \/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"15.4\" \/><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_9564\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Songofsongs\/Song_01.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('9564','http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Songofsongs\/Song_01.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/powerpress\/play_audio.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" width=\"23px\" height=\"24px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Songofsongs\/Song_01.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/?powerpress_pinw=6192-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsmradio.com\/audio\/mp3-files\/Songofsongs\/Song_01.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"Song_01.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/podcasts\/Religion--Spirituality-Podcas\/Bible-Study-Radio-p959109\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_tunein\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on TuneIn\" rel=\"nofollow\">TuneIn<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/biblestudyradio.org\/?feed=podcast\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Song of Songs (Program #1) &#8211; An Introductory Word and Drawn to Pursue Christ for Satisfaction (1) &#8220;The Song of Songs, which is Solomon&#8217;s.
