Song of Songs 2:9
_ _ he standeth — after having bounded over the intervening space like a roe. He often stands near when our unbelief hides Him from us (Genesis 28:16; Revelation 3:14-20). His usual way; long promised and expected; sudden at last: so, in visiting the second temple (Malachi 3:1); so at Pentecost (Acts 2:1, Acts 2:2); so in visiting an individual soul, Zaccheus (Luke 19:5, Luke 19:6; John 3:8); and so, at the second coming (Matthew 24:48, Matthew 24:50; 2 Peter 3:4, 2 Peter 3:10). So it shall be at His second coming (1 Thessalonians 5:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:3).
_ _ wall — over the cope of which He is first seen; next, He looks through (not forth; for He is outside) at the windows, glancing suddenly and stealthily (not as English Version, “showing Himself”) through the lattice. The prophecies, types, etc., were lattice glimpses of Him to the Old Testament Church, in spite of the wall of separation which sin had raised (John 8:56); clearer glimpses were given by John Baptist, but not unclouded (John 1:26). The legal wall of partition was not to be removed until His death (Ephesians 2:14, Ephesians 2:15; Hebrews 10:20). Even now, He is only seen by faith, through the windows of His Word and the lattice of ordinances and sacraments (Luke 24:35; John 14:21); not full vision (1 Corinthians 13:12); an incentive to our looking for His second coming (Isaiah 33:17; Titus 2:13). |
Song of Songs 2:9
Like a roe — In swiftness. He is coming to me with all speed and will not tarry a moment beyond the proper season. He standeth behind — And while he doth for wise reasons forbear to come; he is not far from us. Both this and the following phrases may denote the obscure manner of Christ's manifesting himself to his people, under the law, in comparison of his discoveries in the gospel. The window — This phrase, and that through the lattess, intimate that the church does indeed see Christ, but, as through a glass, darkly, as it is said even of gospel — revelations, 1 Corinthians 13:12, which was much more true of legal administrations. |
Song of Songs 2:9
My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he (e) standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, gazing himself through the (f) lattice.
(e) For as his divinity was hidden under the cloak of our flesh.
(f) So that we cannot have full knowledge of him in this life. |

Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
