In Deuteronomy 22 “If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found, 29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.
There was a principle that if a man meets a virgin not betrothed and seizes her and lies with her, he had a high price to pay for this. So, this is why in songs of Solomon, Solomon is advised not to awaken love until the time is right. TWICE. So, there is a timing for love much like the time Jesus returns for his bride.
Songs of Solomon 3 vs 4 says I charge you daughters of Jerusalem not to awaken love until the time is right. why it has consequences, as Deuteronomy shows. so, we see Jesus as with Solomon coming out of the wilderness, and Solomon was perfumed with myrrh and frankincense and pillar of silver, bottom gold. The very same gifts given to Jesus when he was young. And Solomon was young and inexperienced when he got these gifts.
He then entreats in Song of Solomon 4: 7 that I am all fair and there is no spot in me (purity), Song of Solomon 5: 2 undefiled woman is what Solomon was seeking for. So, if Solomon a king could choose and seek for a pure bride, why won’t Jesus come for a pure bride unblemished bride. We see Philippians 2:15
so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world. Purity and Holiness matter to God, even Jesus was a spotless and harmless lamb. We can ascribe for those without putting one another down.
