Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Song of Solomon 3:6
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
6. New scene ( :- ). The friends of the Bridegroom see a cortege approach. His palanquin and guard. cometh out —rather, "up from"; the wilderness was lower than Jerusalem [MAURER]. pillars of smoke —from the perfumes burned around Him and His bride. Image from Israel and the tabernacle (answering to "bed," :- ) marching through the desert with the pillar of smoke by day and fire by night ( Exodus 14:20 ), and the pillars of smoke ascending from the altars of incense and of atonement; so Jesus Christ's righteousness, atonement, and ever-living intercession. Balaam, the last representative of patriarchism, was required to curse the Jewish Church, just as it afterwards would not succumb to Christianity without a struggle ( Exodus 14:20- : ), but he had to bless in language like that here ( Numbers 24:5 ; Numbers 24:6 ). Angels too joyfully ask the same question, when Jesus Christ with the tabernacle of His body (answering to " His bed, " Song of Solomon 3:7 ; John 1:14 , "dwelt," Greek "tabernacled," John 1:14- : ) ascends into heaven ( John 1:14- : ); also when they see His glorious bride with Him ( Psalms 68:18 ; Revelation 7:13-17 ). Encouragement to her; amid the darkest trials ( Revelation 7:13-66.7.17- : ), she is still on the road to glory ( Revelation 7:13-66.7.17- : ) in a palanquin "paved with love" ( Revelation 7:13-66.7.17- : ); she is now in soul spiritually "coming," exhaling the sweet graces, faith, love, joy, peace, prayer, and praise; (the fire is lighted within, the "smoke" is seen without, Acts 4:13 ); it is in the desert of trial ( Acts 4:13- : ) she gets them; she is the "merchant" buying from Jesus Christ without money or price ( Isaiah 55:1 ; Revelation 3:18 ); just as myrrh and frankincense are got, not in Egypt, but in the Arabian sands and the mountains of Palestine. Hereafter she shall "come" ( Song of Solomon 3:6 ; Song of Solomon 3:11 ) in a glorified body, too ( Philippians 3:21 ). Historically, Jesus Christ returning from the wilderness, full of the Holy Ghost ( Luke 4:1 ; Luke 4:14 ). The same, "Who is this," c. ( Isaiah 63:1 Isaiah 63:5 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
