16. Awake —literally, "arise." All besides is ready; one thing alone is wanted—the breath of God. This follows rightly after His death ( Song of Solomon 6:12 ; Acts 2:1-4 ). It is His call to the Spirit to come ( John 14:16 ); in John 3:8 , compared to "the wind"; quickening ( John 6:63 ; Ezekiel 27:9 ). Saints offer the same prayer ( Psalms 85:6 ; Habakkuk 3:2 ). The north wind " awakes, " or arises strongly, namely, the Holy Ghost as a reprover ( Habakkuk 3:2- : ); the south wind " comes " gently, namely, the Holy Ghost as the comforter ( Habakkuk 3:2- : ). The west wind brings rain from the sea ( 1 Kings 18:44 ; 1 Kings 18:45 ; Luke 12:54 ). The east wind is tempestuous ( Job 27:21 ; Isaiah 27:8 ) and withering ( Isaiah 27:8- : ). These, therefore, are not wanted; but first the north wind clearing the air ( Job 37:22 ; Proverbs 25:23 ), and then the warm south wind ( Job 37:17 ); so the Holy Ghost first clearing away mists of gloom, error, unbelief, sin, which intercept the light of Jesus Christ, then infusing spiritual warmth ( 2 Corinthians 4:6 ), causing the graces to exhale their odor. Let my beloved, c.— the bride's reply.

She owns that the garden is His, and the fruits in her, which she does not in false humility deny ( Psalms 66:16 ; Acts 21:19 ; 1 Corinthians 15:10 ) are His ( John 15:8 ; Philippians 1:11 ). return to ' Top of Page ' Song of Solomon Sng 3 Song of Solomon Sng Song of Solomon Sng 5 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are a derivative of an electronic edition prepared from text scanned by Woodside Bible Fellowship.
