16. 0:44we have a full course on this book. I
17. 0:47think the book uh A Song of Songs is
18. 0:50really really really really helpful. A
19. 0:52really vital book. And I hope that
20. 0:54today's episode is going to be a value

24. 1:02those of you who have done the reading,
25. 1:05you just read a whole sex scene. So,
26. 1:07here we go. Let's break it down. Okay.
27. 1:09I'm going to give you context clues. I'm
28. 1:11going to give you nerdy nuggets. And I'm
29. 1:13always going to leave off with a
30. 1:14timeless truth. And you know, my
31. 1:16timeless truth is really going to help
32. 1:18the fellas today. I I don't really have
33. 1:20any I don't have any I don't have a lot
34. 1:22of timeless truths for the ladies today,
35. 1:24BUT I DEFINITELY GOT SOME TIMELESS
36. 1:25TRUTHS FOR THE GUYS. ALL RIGHT, it's
37. 1:26going to be fantastic. You want to make
38. 1:28sure you stick around for the end of the
39. 1:29episode if you want the my timeless
40. 1:31truth for all the gentlemen. All right,
41. 1:33context clues. What is the correct title
42. 1:36of this book? Let's start with that. Is
43. 1:37it Song of Songs or is it Song of
44. 1:40Solomon? Okay, so uh I know that may
45. 1:43sound like such a nerdy little detail,
46. 1:46but I think it's really really
47. 1:47important. So, Song of Songs. So, what
48. 1:50does Song of Songs even mean? Well,
49. 1:52already in the Bible, you've seen this
50. 1:54exact combination of words. Okay? Holy
51. 1:58of Holies, King of Kings, right? What
52. 2:01what does that mean? The Holy of Holies
53. 2:04was the holiest place amongst other holy
54. 2:07places. It is the best, the summit of
55. 2:11holiness. The King of Kings is the king
56. 2:13who is king over other kings. He is the
57. 2:17most kingly of all kings. He is the
58. 2:20best. The summit of kingship. Okay,
59. 2:22that's what it means. That's what king
60. 2:23of kings, lord of lords, holy of holies
61. 2:26means. So this song right here, this
62. 2:28collection of poems, this song is the
63. 2:31song that is above all other songs. It
64. 2:35is the best, the summit of all songs.
65. 2:38This title is simply saying this is the
66. 2:40greatest song ever written. Now I know
67. 2:42what a lot of you may be thinking. You
68. 2:44may be thinking that's a bold statement
69. 2:46givingven that scripture contains many
70. 2:50many songs, lots of songs in the Bible.
71. 2:54Okay, this is a there's a whole book OF
72. 2:56SONGS AND A COUPLE OF BOOKS AGO WE
73. 2:58looked at Psalms. Are you telling me
74. 3:01that the Song of Songs in the scriptures
75. 3:03is not Psalm 119? Are you saying that
76. 3:07this book right here, Song of Songs, is
77. 3:09superior to all the Psalms that we've
78. 3:12studied? What about all the songs of the
79. 3:13prophets or the song of Moses? The title
80. 3:17actually claims superiority over all of
81. 3:20them. And there's more to it than that.
82. 3:22There's a rabbitical saying that went,
83. 3:23"All scripture is holy." But the song of
84. 3:26songs is the holy of holies. Such was
85. 3:30the esteem that this song had amongst
86. 3:32the Jewish people, which is surprising,
87. 3:35but is another fascinating insight into
88. 3:38how different the worldview is between
89. 3:40ancient Judaism and modern Christianity.
90. 3:43Okay, though I I I cannot iterate this
91. 3:45enough. The world view difference
92. 3:48between ancient Judaism and modern
93. 3:50Christianity couldn't be could not be
94. 3:54further than each other. The mindset of
95. 3:56ancient Judaism is wealth is fantastic.
96. 4:00Wealth is great. It's like it's like
97. 4:03proof that like the blessing and FAN OF
98. 4:05THE GOD is on your life. Whereas
99. 4:08monochristianity, you're like
100. 4:09villainized for being a wealthy person.
101. 4:11I I mean it's just I mean pretty
102. 4:15basswards if you ask me. So another, you
103. 4:19know, just big difference between
104. 4:20ancient Judaism and modern Christianity
105. 4:23is the celebration of sex. Purity
106. 4:26culture would not even be fathomable in
107. 4:30ancient Judaism. For the church, this
108. 4:32song is something that has to be dealt
109. 4:34with somehow. Like for modern
110. 4:36Christianity, you got to like deal with
111. 4:38it. its erotic content has to be
112. 4:41allegorized away or its edge taken off
113. 4:44through scholarly, you know,
114. 4:46hermeneutical backflips and jumping
115. 4:49through all these hoops. But for the
116. 4:51Jewish people, the erotic content, the
117. 4:53sexual union between man and woman was
118. 4:55something that was celebrated. This was
119. 4:58not something dirty, sinful, or
120. 5:00embarrassing, but the heart of all
121. 5:03humanity. like none of us would be here
122. 5:05had like our parents not you know done
123. 5:08what they needed to do. Okay. So when
124. 5:11God looks at Adam and Eve and he says
125. 5:13multiply be fruitful. He is telling them
126. 5:16to like go at it like have fun like
127. 5:19explore each other's bodies like let's
128. 5:22let's do the dang thing. Okay let's go.
129. 5:25And so ancient Judaism just has a
130. 5:28totally different mindset when it comes
131. 5:31to lots of things but sex is one of
132. 5:34them. Now the second part of the first
133. 5:37line of the book shows its connection to
134. 5:39Solomon. So let's like why do some
135. 5:41people call it the song of Solomon? The
136. 5:43song of songs which is Solomon's this
137. 5:46later is shortened and people begin to
138. 5:48call it the song of Solomon. The title
139. 5:50reflects a traditional association with
140. 5:53with King Solomon and the connection
141. 5:56between Solomon in these poems. He is
142. 5:58seen to be the author of them and is
143. 6:01there as an overriding story within the
144. 6:04poems. Then he is traditionally seen to
145. 6:06be the beloved, the king who falls in
146. 6:09love with a country girl. Okay, there
147. 6:11are tons of ways to interpret that one
148. 6:14word of. And let me give you five ways
149. 6:16that we can interpret it. When we say of
150. 6:19Solomon, okay, it can either mean these
151. 6:21are Solomons because he wrote them.
152. 6:23These are Solomons because he was the
153. 6:25patron of the author, which means he
154. 6:27paid the author. Okay, these are
155. 6:30Solomons because they are dedicated to
156. 6:32him. These are Solomns because they are
157. 6:34written in his style or written about
158. 6:36him. These are Solomon's because these
159. 6:39poems are a gift to him. Added to this
160. 6:42are the different opinions of whether
161. 6:44there's even a story here. Is Solomon
162. 6:46the hero or is he the villain? Is he the
163. 6:50king that falls in love with the country
164. 6:51girl or is he the king who attempts to
165. 6:53steal the girl away from her shepherd
166. 6:56lover? If we're just wondering, let's
167. 6:58just consider who in the world Solomon
168. 7:00even is. Okay, if there's anybody who's
169. 7:03famous for marriage, ding ding ding,
170. 7:05it's this guy. Okay, his name is
171. 7:07Solomon. We are told that by the end of
172. 7:09his life, he had 700 wives and 300
173. 7:11concubines. In these poems in chapter
174. 7:146:8, we read that there are 60 queens
175. 7:18and 80 concubines and virgins without
176. 7:21number who are a part of the procession
177. 7:23to come try to get the girl that he's in
178. 7:25love with now. Not quite a thousand, but
179. 7:28it does mean that if Solomon is the hero
180. 7:31that he marries and marries this girl,
181. 7:33then she will be one of 141 women in his
182. 7:37life. Which begs the question, how can
183. 7:39an author of a series of poems that
184. 7:42celebrates true romantic love within the
185. 7:44confines of marriage be a credible
186. 7:47source when he already has been married
187. 7:4960 times and has 80 concubines? If the
188. 7:53beloved is Solomon or if Solomon is
189. 7:55writing this, then this perfect picture
190. 7:58of love is just one amongst many. And
191. 8:02I'm not saying that's not possible. I'm
192. 8:04just saying we have to like take into
193. 8:06account if Solomon is like the author in
194. 8:09a traditional sense when we have to
195. 8:12really think is Solomon really a
196. 8:15credible source for like erotic love
197. 8:18poetry between a man and a wife. Okay.
198. 8:20Uh now God could be using Solomon in
199. 8:23spite of things that would disqualify
200. 8:26him. That's totally fair and that's
201. 8:28totally an option and that's totally up
202. 8:30to you to decide. Okay, if that's the
203. 8:31route you want to go down, if that's the
204. 8:33interpretive route you'd like to take.
205. 8:36Now, if there's no story, if we abandon
206. 8:39the dramatic approach, which would try
207. 8:42to string together a story, then perhaps
208. 8:45we have a situation where maybe one of
209. 8:48these poems is written by Solomon. I
210. 8:51also think that there's an element here
211. 8:53where Solomon's the villain. I I
212. 8:56actually think some bold person was was
213. 8:59courageous enough to write something
214. 9:01where Solomon's the villain. I would go
215. 9:04with there's a shepherd who's in love
216. 9:07with this this country girl and
217. 9:09Solomon's trying to steal her away. I do
218. 9:11think that first Kings 11:es 1-4 is very
219. 9:16clear that it was the many marriages of
220. 9:18Solomon and his large herum that stole
221. 9:21his heart from Yahweh. And actually, I
222. 9:24would contend that Song of Songs is just
223. 9:27a poetic approach to telling us the
224. 9:30facts that we find in First Kings 11:es
225. 9:331-4. Okay? So that I I would match up
226. 9:37his villain role in Song of Songs with
227. 9:39what First Kings 11:es 1-4 say about
228. 9:43Solomon and say I don't know that he
229. 9:45wrote this content. Maybe he wrote one
230. 9:47of the 34 poems that we find here. But
231. 9:51what I am comfortable saying is that the
232. 9:54same boldness that it took to write
233. 9:57first kings chapter 11 verses 1-4 is the
234. 9:59same boldness that it would take to
235. 10:01really critique Solomon's like marriage
236. 10:04choices by centering an entire book of
237. 10:08the Bible on one man, one woman for one
238. 10:12lifetime and to celebrate the edenic
239. 10:14ideal in the midst of Solomon like
240. 10:18veering away from that eenic ideal.
241. 10:22Okay. All right. That's a lot of
242. 10:24context.
243. 10:26Let's dive into some nerdy nuggets.
244. 10:28Okay, family. The wait is over. My brand

344. 14:29gonna, you know, be the most
345. 14:30titillating. Okay? That's not how he
346. 14:32leads. You know, words of affirmate,

349. 14:38THERE, GENTLEMEN. And I I won't steal my

351. 14:42Truth is going to be good today. It's
352. 14:43going to be fantastic. All right. Next
353. 14:44thing I need you to see. Okay. First of
354. 14:46all, the words of affirmation. Okay. Uh
355. 14:49sex is not just some silent thing that
356. 14:53you do like no no there's words. Part of
357. 14:57the sexual experience is talking. Okay,
358. 15:00words. And one of the harmful effects of
359. 15:04purity culture is that you just you you
360. 15:06feel so awkward about sex that you're
361. 15:10not good at like talking
362. 15:13like like talking with someone. And and
363. 15:17I do think that, you know, communicating
364. 15:21someone's physical beauty is very very
365. 15:23important and uh gets the engine going.
366. 15:25You know what I'm saying? You're not
367. 15:26trying to drive a cold car. Okay? You
368. 15:28got to get the engine going. All right?
369. 15:30And that happens with words. Okay? It's
370. 15:33important. Okay? Number two, the number
371. 15:35the second things that I want to tell
372. 15:36you is that garden imagery is
373. 15:38everywhere. Okay? Go with me to chapter
374. 15:404:12. You are a garden locked up, my
375. 15:43sister, my bride. You are a spring
376. 15:45enclosed, a sealed fountain. Now, now
377. 15:48there's a euphemism happening here. And
378. 15:50I don't know a better way to say this.
379. 15:52It just mean ain't nobody wet yet. That

482. 20:20gentleman. And it's this one thing is
483. 20:22going to help your sex life, and that is
484. 20:25your phone. Okay, this thing right here.
485. 20:27This is either going to be the thing
486. 20:29that destroys your relationship with
487. 20:31your wife, or this the thing that's
488. 20:33going to mean that your relationship
489. 20:34with your bride is is hot and steamy.
490. 20:38This thing right here. Now, I get it.
491. 20:40I'm a guy, okay? For me to be ready to
492. 20:44rock and roll when it comes to sex
493. 20:46takes, I don't know.5 seconds. Like 30
494. 20:49seconds, man. No warm-up time necessary.
495. 20:52I could be thinking about video games,
496. 20:54basketball, coffee, and then if my wife
497. 20:56is like, "Hey, you down to go? Let's
498. 20:58go." I no warm up. But for all the
499. 21:02gentlemen, I need you to know that's not
500. 21:03how women operate. Okay? So, if you have
501. 21:06this expectation that you're going to
502. 21:07come home from work and your wife's just
503. 21:09going to be chilling on the couch with
504. 21:11some lingerie on and she's just going to
505. 21:13be ready to like attack you, that that
506. 21:16is going to that's possible, but it's
507. 21:19going to take you sending words of
508. 21:22affirmation to her throughout the day.
509. 21:25And and you may want to get take a page
510. 21:27right out of right out of song
511. 21:30of songs chapter 4 verse one. you may
512. 21:33want to just rip this page out because
513. 21:35the way that this brother is talking to
514. 21:36this woman, that's the way you want to
515. 21:38start talking to her. And if you trying
516. 21:40to get freaky with your wife at 10:00
517. 21:43tonight, you should start warming up
518. 21:45that engine at 10:00 this morning. She

520. 21:51like warming it up, warming it up,
521. 21:53warming it up. And and here's the deal.
522. 21:56Tell her she's beautiful, but please
523. 21:58like be freaky, bro. like say stuff that
524. 22:02you know is going to get that engine
525. 22:04going because sex is on your mind all
526. 22:07day. And now you may have married a
527. 22:10woman who's just like, "Hey man, you
528. 22:13know, I'm a lady in the streets but a
529. 22:14freak in the bed." Like you you I don't
530. 22:16know. I don't know. You may have married
531. 22:17somebody like that. But for the average
532. 22:20woman, they're not thinking about sex
533. 22:22all day long non-stop. That's just not
534. 22:24what they're thinking about. They're not
535. 22:26They're not like men. They're not every
536. 22:29waking moment isn't kind of connected to
537. 22:31sex in some way. So that means that
538. 22:34you're either going to be on this phone
539. 22:36looking at porn or like on Reddit or on
540. 22:39Twitter or X like looking at stuff
541. 22:42that's getting you sexually stimulated
542. 22:44and excited and then you're using that
543. 22:46sexual energy in ways that are taking
544. 22:48away from your marriage. or you're going
545. 22:51to be on this phone sending your girl
546. 22:54stuff that's getting her engine going
547. 22:57because by the time you do get home,
548. 22:59especially if she's got kids, if you
549. 23:01guys got small kids, or if she's got a
550. 23:03job, like I I I'm sorry to burst your
551. 23:06bubble, but you're just going to have to
552. 23:08get over yourself and know that you're
553. 23:10not the center of her universe. But if
554. 23:13but if you are going to be an important
555. 23:15part of her life and if sex is going to
556. 23:17be important and I would say that sex is
557. 23:19a very very important of a thriving
558. 23:22flourishing sexual relationship then
559. 23:24you're going to have to put sex on her
560. 23:26mind. You are going to have to be the
561. 23:28person who is wound her up so that when
562. 23:32you do get home that she is like I'm
563. 23:35ready to pounce on this man. But you're
564. 23:37going to have to do the work of getting
565. 23:39her to that place. And now there are
566. 23:42some husbands this does not apply. And
