Song of Solomon 8:10

I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.

I (am) a wall, and my breasts like towers. The Gentile Church's joy at its free admission to Gospel privileges (Acts 15:30). She is one wall in the spiritual temple of the Holy Spirit; the Hebrew Church is the other: Jesus Christ, the common foundation, joins them (Ephesians 2:11).

Breasts . . . towers - alluding to the silver palace which the bridal virgins proposed to build on her (). "Breasts" of consolation (); faith and love (): opposed to her previous state, "no breasts" (). Thus ; , was fulfilled, both Samaria and the Gentiles being joined to the Jewish Gospel Church. But the fullness of the accomplishment shall be when, at Israel's restoration, all the Gentile nations, as well as the Jews, shall suck and be satisfied with the breasts of Jerusalem's consolations, and so, in turn, shall themselves have breasts, becoming spiritual mothers to their children.

Favour - rather peace (cf. Romans 9:25). The Gentile Church, too, is become the Shulamite (), or peace-enjoying bride of Solomon - i:e., Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace (; ). Reject not those whom God accepts (Acts 15:8). Rather, superadd to such every aid and privilege ().
