You got it, dear brother ZNPaaneah. You nailed it. That is exactly what I am saying and what the index in the USB4 is saying: It is not that Jesus and His apostles did not touch SofS, but rather they didn't touch the language or expressions of SoS. Well said.
I love it when we end on the same page!!
SofS was definitely part of the spiritual heritage of Jesus and His apostles, so SofS, like all of the OT, was always there in the background. SofS contributes greatly to the "lovey-dovey, touchy-feely, smoochy-woochy" collection of OT passages, so whenever Jesus or His apostles employ imagery along these lines, SofS is definitely part of the background - even though the language and expressions of SofS are never directly utilized.
