1A To say that we are the same as God in the Godhead is a great blasphemy, but if we say that we cannot be the same as God in life, nature, expression, and function, this is unbelief; the Bible tells us repeatedly that God's intention is to be one with us and to make us one with Him (21:2; 22:17a; cf. Heb. 4:2).
2B The Shulammite is likened to the dance of two camps, or two armies (Heb. mahanaim), in the sight of God; after Jacob saw the angels of God, the two armies of God, he named the place where he was Mahanaim and divided his wives, children, and possessions into "two armies" (S.S. 6:13; Gen. 32:1-2):
31 The spiritual significance of the two armies is the strong testimony that we more than conquer, we "super-overcome," through Him who loved us, according to the principle of the Body of Christ (Rom. 8:37; 12:5).
42 God does not want those who are strong in themselves; He wants only the feeble ones, the weaker ones, the women and children (1 Cor. 1:26-28; 2 Cor. 12:9-10; 13:3-5).
53 God needs a people who are one with Him, a people who are submissive to Him, signified by the plaited hair (S.S. 1:11), and obedient to Him with a flexible will, signified by the neck with strings of jewels (v. 10).
75 When we consider how to arrive at the highest peak of the divine revelation, we should not trust in ourselves but depend on the Lord as love, power, and mercy to make us vessels of mercy, honor, and glory (Rom. 9:16, 21-23; S.S. 8:5-6).
