Song of Songs 2:4
_ _ Historically fulfilled in the joy of Simeon and Anna in the temple, over the infant Savior (Luke 2:25-38), and that of Mary, too (compare Luke 1:53); typified (Exodus 24:9-11). Spiritually, the bride or beloved is led (Song of Songs 2:4) first into the King’s chambers, thence is drawn after Him in answer to her prayer; is next received on a grassy couch under a cedar kiosk; and at last in a “banqueting hall,” such as, Josephus says, Solomon had in his palace, “wherein all the vessels were of gold” (Antiquities, Song of Songs 8:5, Song of Songs 8:2). The transition is from holy retirement to public ordinances, church worship, and the Lord’s Supper (Psalms 36:8). The bride, as the queen of Sheba, is given “all her desire” (1 Kings 10:13; Psalms 63:5; Ephesians 3:8, Ephesians 3:16-21; Philippians 4:19); type of the heavenly feast hereafter (Isaiah 25:6, Isaiah 25:9).
_ _ his banner ... love — After having rescued us from the enemy, our victorious captain (Hebrews 2:10) seats us at the banquet under a banner inscribed with His name, “love” (1 John 4:8). His love conquered us to Himself; this banner rallies round us the forces of Omnipotence, as our protection; it marks to what country we belong, heaven, the abode of love, and in what we most glory, the cross of Jesus Christ, through which we triumph (Romans 8:37; 1 Corinthians 15:57; Revelation 3:21). Compare with “over me,” “underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27). |
Song of Songs 2:4
Banquetting house — The places in which believers receive the graces and blessings of Christ. His banner — By the lifting up whereof I was invited to come to him, and to list myself under him. Love — The love of Christ crucified, which, like a banner, is displayed in the gospel. |
