First of all, there is the potential that it is very badly translated by persons who frankly didn’t know what it was about and so their toilet minds did the best they were capable of.
Some have wondered if it wasn’t about Christ and His bride. But there is another possibility that seems more likely - - that it is a treatise on the ordinance of resurrection:
A glorious woman is described - - in all her fairness. It talks about her waking her loved one. Then it talks about how fair he has become, like a “young hart...skipping upon the hills.”
Some key points:
- There is an allusion to Mary anointing Jesus for His burial and resurrection in 1:12 ”While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.”
- There is a reference to a hand clasp ”His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. “His” right hand is actually the feminine - should be “her” right hand and “embrace” is better understood as “clasp.”
- There is the charge to the “daughters of Jerusalem” to not “stir up, nor awake” one’s loved one until the time is right, said several times, including 2:7
- “For lo, the winter is past” and then talk of Spring.= a rebirth theme
- Mentions of “myrrh and frankincense” and hair dripping with “dew” - - these are all pertinent to resurrection
- ”Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him.” Yes, she crowned him in the same manner that the Great Lady “crowned” the Son when she gave birth to Him in the holy of holies. This is how Sons of God are made - - they are crowned by their mother in eternity (what the HofH represents).
The theme is probably that of the resurrection - - the woman bringing forth the man and causing him to rise in a similar manner to how Isis brought back Osiris. If so, it’s little wonder the priests and scribes miss it entirely.
