The climax of the Song. Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm. The seal is the mark of permanent possession, the impression of the one to whom something belongs. The Bride asking to be sealed is the OT form of Ephesians 1:13's sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.
For love is strong as death, azah ka-mavet ahavah. Love that matches death in its strength. The jealousy, qin'ah, is fierce as Sheol. Its coals are coals of fire. Its flame is shalhevetyah, the flame of YAH.
Hidden in the final word for flame is the divine name. Shalhevetah, blazing flame, plus YAH, the short form of YHWH, the name of the covenant God. The love the whole book has been describing is not human sentiment. It is divine fire. Thread 1 is in the shalhevetyah: the reaching that cannot stop is not a human trait imported into theology. It is the fire of God himself: unquenchable, unkillable, fierce as Sheol, strong as death.
Many waters cannot quench this love. Floods cannot drown it. No amount of human wealth can purchase it, if a man offered everything he had for love it would be utterly scorned. The love that is divine fire cannot be bought, cannot be coerced, cannot be extinguished. Thread 4 is the third anti-coercion refrain: I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, do not stir up love until it pleases. Thread 7 is the final word of the book, the Bride's last line: flee, my beloved, be like a gazelle upon the mountains of spices. The book that opened with draw me closes with make haste, come quickly. The Bride who asked to be drawn is now urging the Bridegroom's return. This is Revelation 22:17 and 22:20 in its OT form: the Spirit and the Bride say come. Even so, come Lord Jesus.
Love is strong as death, the coals thereof are the flame of YAH, shalhevetyah: the divine name hidden inside the word for flame; the love that drives the whole book is not human sentiment but divine fire.
