This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Son_8:10 I [am] a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
Ver. 10. I am a wall; and my breasts like towers.] If she be a wall, saith Christ. I am a wall, saith this Church of the Gentiles; I will carefully keep the doctrine of truth committed unto me, I will stand firm in the faith, being founded upon the rock of ages. And whereas lately I was looked upon as breastless, {Son_8:8} now my breasts are fashioned, {Eze_16:7} yea, they are grown far greater than those of mine elder sister’s; so that they look "like towers." The Church of the Gentiles, though little at first, and scarce considerable, yet after Christ’s ascension, was marvellously increased and multiplied; so that she herself stood amazed to see her children come from far, flying to her as a cloud, most swiftly, and in such flocks, as if a whole flight of doves, driven by some hawk or tempest, should scour into the columbary, and rush into the windows. {Isa_60:8}
Then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.] Heb., Peace: even as that Jerusalem Shulamite; nothing inferior to the old Church; yea, before her in this, that she for present is fallen off, and "through her fall, salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy." {Rom_11:11} But when God shall have united these two sticks, {Eze_37:19} and made way for those kings of the east, {Rev_16:12} then it shall be said of Jacob and Israel, "What hath God wrought?" {Num_23:23}
