Spurgeon's Song of Song Survey
A Song of Songs – The Royal Pair in Their Glorious Chariot
As I continue to read Pastor Spurgeon’s sermons from the Song of Songs, the more interesting I find it that this beloved book is a revelation of the goings-on in heaven and eternity. This book must be read and taken from the perspective of the Godhead, not an earth-bound point of view. There is a great separation that exists in the things of heaven and earth. In this sermon, I am riding with my Lord Jesus in His glorious chariot, and am taken outside the chariot to view its emergence from the smoke of time, and takes His bride down the bridal path to the great altar of the Father’s throne and infinity.

Chapter Citation and Verse
Song of Solomon 3:6-11
“Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant? Behold his bed, which is Solomon’s; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night. King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon. He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem. Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.”
