Solomon gives to us some very wonderful and unique ideas concerning the bride of Christ. It is possible Solomon did not understand the full extent of what he is saying about the bride of Christ. In poetry, however, there are many levels of understanding. The Song of Solomon is not the kind of book ...read more

The Bride And The Other Woman

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026

Revelation contrasts two postures of faith: faithful love that waits for Christ, and religious power that bargains, manages, and uses God instead.
