Song of Solomon

From Bahai9
Jump to:navigation, search

Read online at Song of Solomon.

The bride and bridegroom are symbolic[edit]

"The divine Words are not to be taken according to their outer sense. They are symbolical and contain realities of spiritual meaning. For instance, in the book of Solomon's songs you will read about the bride and bridegroom. It is evident that the physical bride and bridegroom are not intended. Obviously, these are symbols conveying a hidden and inner significance. In the same way the Revelations of St. John are not to be taken literally, but spiritually. These are the mysteries of God. It is not the reading of the words that profits you; it is the understanding of their meanings. Therefore, pray God that you may be enabled to comprehend the mysteries of the divine Testaments."

('Abdu'l-Bahá, Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 459)
