Song of Songs 8:10
_ _ The Gentile Church’s joy at its free admission to gospel privileges (Acts 15:30, Acts 15:31). She is one wall in the spiritual temple of the Holy Ghost, the Hebrew Church is the other; Jesus Christ, the common foundation, joins them (Ephesians 2:11-22).
_ _ breasts ... towers — alluding to the silver palace, which the bridal virgins proposed to build on her (Song of Songs 8:9). “Breasts” of consolation (Isaiah 66:11); faith and love (1 Thessalonians 5:8); opposed to her previous state, “no breasts” (Song of Songs 8:8; 2 Thessalonians 1:3). Thus Ezekiel 16:46, Ezekiel 16:61 was fulfilled, both Samaria and the Gentiles being joined to the Jewish gospel Church.
_ _ favour — rather, “peace.” The Gentile Church too is become the Shulamite (Song of Songs 6:13), or peace-enjoying bride of Solomon, that is, Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace (Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:14). Reject not those whom God accepts (Numbers 11:28; Luke 9:49; Acts 15:8, Acts 15:9). Rather, superadd to such every aid and privilege (Song of Songs 8:9). |
Song of Songs 8:10
I am — These seem to be the words of the Jewish church. O Lord, by thy grace I am what thou wouldst have my sister to be, and therefore humbly hope, according to thy promise to her in that case, thou wilt build upon me a palace of silver. Towers — Which stand out from and above the wall, and are an ornament and defence to it. Then — When by his grace I was made a wall, he was well — pleased with me, and with his own workmanship in me. |

Song of Songs 7:7-8 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters [of grapes]. ... I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
