The Shulammite Author: A Life-Dispensing Magazine, Vol. 2, Issue 1:The Throne of God's Divine Authority vs. Monolithic Christendom's Insubordination

by The Shulammite

Overview

God today has a desperate need to be accomplished before the consummation of this evil age. The all-inclusive and Preeminent Christ, as the embodiment of the Triune God, is the centrality and universality of God's divine administration with His Throne.

According to His divine administration, God created man in His own image and after His own likeness as a tripartite being that man might partake of the Tree of life to receive the Triune God's uncreated divine life into his tripartite being. If man partook of the Tree of life, he would have dominion over all the earth with God's divine authority (Genesis 1:26). God is Triune and man is created tripartite.

Unfortunately, Chapter 3 of Genesis depicts the fall of man and God's promise that the seed of the woman will bruise the head of the serpent and the serpent's seed will bruise Christ on the heel. Indeed, the Seed of the woman is Christ Himself. The seed of the serpent are all the unsaved sinners who follow Satan, that is, the children of the devil (1 John 3:10). According to Genesis 3:15 the enmity between the woman and the serpent is between Satan and all God's redeemed people. Thus, the serpent's hatred and conflict against God's people was initiated by Satan who instigated and provoked Cain to murder his brother Abel (Genesis 3:3-9). This provocation and conflict will continue to reverberate throughout all the generations until Satan is cast into the lake of fire for all eternity as revealed in the book of Revelation.

However, God's need, according to His divine economy is still for man to receive His life and nature. God's will for man is unchanging, immovable, and steadfast. To accomplish His eternal purpose in His economy, God sent His Son as the Seed of the woman, that is, Mary, to carry out God's plan. Christ, as the Seed of the woman, did indeed bruise the head of the serpent on the Cross and accomplished judicial redemption.

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.
