SPIRITUAL GEMS: November 17-23, 2025, THE SONG OF SONGS 6-8, Answers.

Let's look for hidden gems (10 mins.)

Song of Solomon 8:6. Why does the Bible refer to true love as “the flame of Jah”? (w15 1/15 29 par. 3).

True love is called “the flame of Jah” because Jehovah, in creating us, gave us the ability to love and the capacity to feel true love. When Adam first saw Eve, he was so impressed that a poem flowed from his lips to her, and Eve felt a deep connection to him. This demonstrates that this powerful bond between a man and a woman comes from God.

The Bible refers to true love as “the flame of Jah” because Jehovah himself is the source of that love. He created humans with the capacity for deep affection and loyalty. Like a flame that burns constantly, true love remains strong even in the face of trials.

The Song of Songs 7:7. King Solomon, in ancient Israel, poetically likened the stature of a beautiful Shulamite woman to that of a date palm. The Hebrew word for date palm is tamar. For the Jews, it became a symbol of grace and elegance, and was frequently used as a woman's name.
