Song 6:13 | MHM | STEP | v. 13 : The church is called “Shulamite” and is invited to return: Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee (Song of Solomon 6:13 ). Christ and all who love Him want the church to come back with confidence and joy. She is asked to show her face, to be bold and cheerful in God’s presence. When asked, What will you see in the Shulamite? the answer is, As it were the company of two armies . This can mean the church is both beautiful and strong, like two armies ready for victory. It may also show the struggle between grace and sin inside believers, or the unity of saints and angels together. In every way, the church is precious and glorious in Christ’s eyes (Genesis 32:2 ).
