The Shulammite Author: A Life-Dispensing Magazine:To Know Christ and the Power of His Resurrection vs. The Resurgence of Easter

by The Shulammite

Overview

This Life-Dispensing Magazine is a New periodic publication. Beginning with Volume 1, Set 2, we will cover the poignant, present circumstances of idol worship in today's Christendom. Excerpts from published ministry books, printable PDF gospel tracts, prayers, new book announcements, audio hymns, blogs, and other related website links will be the content in these periodicals.

As we approach yet another holiday season, we as believers in Christ need to be reminded once again of who we are and what we are before the Lord. Since we belong to the Lord, we should not be common as the world. By following the Lord and His purpose, our fellowship with the Him will neither be broken nor stagnated (1 John 1:6, 7, 9). In this way, our spirit, soul, and body will be preserved complete without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:23). However, if we become common and join ourselves in oneness to the worldly holidays, we will be with blame before Him. Thus, we will not be able to stand before Him at His return. But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17). Once we are joined to Christ in our initial salvation, we need to remain joined to Him in everything.

As the defeated believers go the way of the world, we need to be the overcomers giving Christ preeminence in all things. Christ is the Preeminent One! Therefore, Christ needs to be made preeminent and gain the preeminence in our daily Christian life. How desperately we need to give Christ the first place in our daily living. If we are to keep ourselves from defilement during these evil days, we should touch not the unclean idols of resurgent Easter. We need to remove the idols in our hearts and allow Christ to make His home there. He needs to make His home in our hearts by occupying our entire being, (the mind, emotion, and will). Give the all-inclusive Christ the preeminence in your mind, will, and emotion! How much we need to turn to God from idols to serve the true and living God (1 Thessalonians 1:9)! How we need to turn our heart to the Lord to seek Him, gain Him, know Him, and be found in Him! (Philippians 3:8-10)

About the Author

The Intrinsic Significance of The Shulammite Song of Songs is a history of love in an excellent marriage, a story of the love between the wise king Solomon, the writer of this book, and the Shulammite (Song of Songs 6:13), a girl of the countryside. As such, this book is a marvelous and vivid portrait, in poetic form, of the bridal love between Christ as the Bridegroom and His lovers as His bride (John 3:29-30; Revelation 19:7) in their mutual enjoyment in the mingling of His divine attributes with the human virtues of His lovers.

Song of Songs stresses not the Body of Christ corporately but the believer in Christ individually, unveiling the progressive experience of an individual believer’s loving fellowship with Christ in four stages. The correspondence between the progression in the poem and the progression in the experience of Christ’s lovers is the intrinsic revelation of the Holy Word of the omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God. The stages of such a progression should be landmarks to us in the course of our pursuing of Christ for His and our mutual satisfaction.

The Shulammite is the feminine form of Solomon, derived from the root meaning peace. The use of this name here indicates that at this point she has become Solomon’s duplication, counterpart, the same as Solomon in life, nature, expression, and function, as Eve was to Adam (Genesis 2:20-23). This signifies that in the maturity of Christ’s life the lover of Christ becomes the reproduction of Christ, the same as He is in life, nature, expression, and function (but not in the Godhead) to match Him for their marriage (2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 8:29). In the romance between the great king Solomon and the girl from the countryside, because the two did not match each other, the king became a “country man” in order to go to her village to court her, to gain her love. On the one hand, he made himself the same as the country girl; on the other hand, he made the country girl a queen. This is a type of the story of God’s romance with man. God as the Husband is divine, and the wife He desires to marry is human; the two do not match each other. To fulfill His heart’s desire God became a lowly man with humanity in incarnation.
