Song of Solomon 8:2

I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate. BRING THEE INTO MY MOTHER'S HOUSE. Her desire to bring Him into her home circle (). WHO WOULD INSTRUCT ME - rather, 'THOU wouldest instruct me;' namely, how I might best please thee (). The heavenly Bridegroom of Israel, literal and spiritual, shall cause all her children in the day of His return to Jerusalem in mercy to be "taught of the Lord" (). Then also the Gentile nations (Isaiah 2:2). Israel here sighs for His return and permanent abode in Jerusalem, "h...

1-4 The church wishes for the constant intimacy and freedom with the Lord Jesus that a sister has with a brother. That they might be as his brethren, which they are, when by grace they are made partakers of a Divine nature. Christ is become as our Brother; wherever we find him, let us be ready to own our relation to him, and affection for him, and not fear being despised for it. Is there in us an ardent wish to serve Christ more and better? What then have we laid up in store, to show our affection to the Beloved of our souls? What fruit unto holiness? The church charges all her children that they never provoke Christ to withdraw. We should reason with ourselves, when tempted to do what would grieve the Spirit....

Verse Song of Solomon 8:2. _WOULD - BRING THEE INTO MY MOTHER'S HOUSE_, WHO _WOULD_ _INSTRUCT ME_] She would teach me how to conduct myself towards thee, as she would how to nurse a young child. _TO DRINK OF SPICED: WINE_] Wine rendered peculiarly strong and invigorating. The bride and bridegroom on the wedding day both drank out of the same cup, to show that they were to _enjoy_ and equally _bear_ together the _comforts_ and _adversities_ of life....

WHO WOULD INSTRUCT ME - Or, thou shouldest teach me Isaiah 54:13. Some allegorists make the whole passage Song of Solomon 7:11-8 a prayer of the synagogue for the Incarnation of the Word, like Song of Solomon 1:2 (see note). Others, a prayer of the Church under both covenants for that complete union with the Incarnate Godhead which is still future....

EXPOSITION SONG OF SOLOMON 8:1 OH THAT THOU WERT AS MY BROTHER, THAT SUCKED THE BREASTS OF MY MOTHER! WHEN I SHOULD FIND THEE WITHOUT, I WOULD KISS THEE; AND NONE WOULD DESPISE ME. I WOULD LEAD THEE, AND BRING THEE INTO MY MOTHER'S HOUSE, WHO WOULD INSTRUCT ME; I WOULD CAUSE THEE TO DRINK OF SPICED WINE, OF THE JUICE OF MY POMEGRANATE. HIS LEFT HAND SHOULD BE UNDER MY HEAD, AND HIS RIGHT HAND SHOULD EMBRACE ME. The meaning seems to be this—Let our relation to one another be the highest and the purest and the most permanent possible. The sisterly relation is not merely one of affection, but one of blood. The bond between husband and wife may be broken by the caprice and weakness of human feeling, but nothing can destroy the bond of blood. "A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity" ...

I WOULD LEAD THEE, [AND] BRING, THEE INTO MOTHER'S HOUSE,.... The general assembly and church of the firstborn is mother to the church visible, to particular churches and believers, where they are born, educated, and brought up; for which they have a great affection, as persons usually have for the place of their nativity and education. And here the church desires to have Christ with her; either to consummate the marriage between them, Genesis 24:67; or to have the knowledge of him spread among her relations, those of her mother's house, who belonged to the election of grace; or to enjoy his presence there, with great delight and pleasure: the act of "leading" thither shows great familiarity with him, great love and respect for him, a hearty welcome to her mother's house; and was treating him becoming his majesty, great personages being led,...

CHAPTER 8 The last chapter of the Song is a review of the whole. There is unquestionably a recapitulation of the entire book. The bride's desires are once more given to be loved and caressed by Him. For the last time we have the charge to the daughters of Jerusalem and once more the coming is announced. “Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness leaning upon her Beloved?” She returns with Him. The Beloved is mentioned seven times in the book. There is the voice of the Beloved (Song of Solomon 2:8); the call of the Beloved (Song of Solomon 2:10); claiming the Beloved (Song of Solomon 2:16); opening the Beloved ...

SONG OF SOLOMON 6:13 TO SONG OF SOLOMON 8:4. THE DANCING BRIDE AND THE RAPTURE OF LOVE. This section also is probably composed of different lyrics, though it is difficult to separate them; we have first the description of the loved one or bride in the act of dancing, then the comparison of her figure to a date palm, and finally a song of love and spring, concluding with the repetition of Song of Solomon 2:6 f. In Song of Solomon 7:1 it is possible that we have a descriptive poem setting forth the charms of the bride and sung by a chorus of women at the wedding dance....

Song of Solomon 7:7 Chap. Song of Solomon 8:4. The King and the Shepherdess the last Assault We may suppose that after her attendants have completed the Shulammite's adornment, and have finished their fulsome praises of her beauty, she receives a new visit from the king. In Song of Solomon 7:7-9 he gives utterance to his admiration in more sensuous terms than ever, and in Song of Solomon 7:9 _b_she turns his talk aside, and dwells upon her lover. In Song of Solomon 7:10 she gives h
