How do we know the Song of Solomon points to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Song of Solomon points to Christ through its allegorical framework, depicting the deep, covenantal love between Christ and His elect.

The references to love, longing, and spiritual union within the Song of Solomon serve as a rich allegory for Christ's relationship with the church. Key passages illustrate this connection, revealing how the love between the Bridegroom and the bride mirrors the love of Christ for His people. As the church expresses her desire for intimacy with her Savior, it encapsulates the essence of salvation and the believer's response to Christ's love. Moreover, various biblical commentators have historically understood this book as primarily pertaining to the redemptive love of Christ, emphasizing the covenantal relationship bestowed upon those united to Him.
