In the New King James Version of the Bible, the word “Beloved” is found 37 times in the Song of Songs. According to the Biblical Meaning of Numbers, this number 37 represents “Jesus, as The Word of God”. Coincidence? I think not.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the manifested Word of FATHER in the flesh and He encapsulates Wisdom from Above. As we shift our view of the Scripture from lower levels of understanding to the higher, we begin to uncover mysteries hidden for centuries. We only have to look to church history to see how such shifts occur. Consider how life was before Martin Luther came to the realization the the “just shall live by faith”. On 31 October 1517, Luther wrote his ninety-five theses which eventually turned the prevailing belief system on its head. We must not assume our past understanding is complete and fully perfected. The unveiling of revelation continues and will culminate when the close of this age fully occurs. In the meantime, we will continue to seek FATHER’S Face with all our being.
The word “Shulamite” means "the perfect" or "the peaceful". It is actually only found in one Scripture:
Song 6:13 Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.
It happens that the number 613 is also the total number of laws and statutes in the LAW. Coincidence? I think not. When the Law is perfect and peaceful, at what point does this state exist? When the revelation of Love is at its full maturity. Jesus associated wisdom with the revelation of Love as He responded to the scribe in Mark chapter 12:
28 Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?”
29 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one.
30 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
32 So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.
33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”
Jesus noted that “doing” offerings and sacrifices was not the purpose of the Law. Love is the purpose and fulfillment of the Law. If you pursue the fullness of this revelation, as Jesus said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”
Let us put away our carnal thinking and pursue Agape Love. Ponder and dwell on this Truth. It will change you.
