Verse 6: v. 6a - set me as a seal upon your heart = (A) protected and guarded emotionally. (B) the deep intermingling of personhood. v. 6b - set me as a seal upon your arm = protected and guarded physically . v. 6a & b - There is a clear progression in the text that is borne out in life; emotional infidelity precedes physical infidelity. The case of physical infidelity without a preceding emotional failure is exceedingly rare. v. 6c - because love is as strong as death = death is inescapable. v. 6d - it's jealousy...Sheol = the grave is so possessive that it does not yield those whom it overtakes. This is a possessive love. (Cf. "The Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.") v. 6e & f - Its flashes...flame of the LORD = the nature of this love is revealed; it is a gift that reflects the great love God has for His people. Verse 7: 7a & b - Many waters...floods drown = the ancient Israelites were not a sea-faring culture. For them water was indicative of chaos. (Cf. Genesis 1.2). This is a love that perseveres, even over life's most chaotic circumstances. Where is Jesus In The Text? Christ is the One who has graciously bestowed, through His common grace to all men, the gift of romantic love. He is to be honored more greatly than the gift, because he is both is source and it's giver. Christ is also the perfect example of holy, jealous, possessive love, which overcomes every obstacle and hinderance, pursuing his Beloved relentlessly, and loving us and serving us with a holy jealously that means to do us good.
