Song of Solomon 2:10
Song of Solomon 2:10
My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
Christ having made so near an approach to his church, as to come to her very wall, nay, to look in at the windows, and shew himself to her through the lattice, calls aloud to her to arise from her sleep, and come away with him; which she distinctly heard and understood, and therefore relates the very words he said to her, which she might be capable of; for if she could say it was the voice of her beloved, when he was a great way of, at a distance from her, upon the hills and mountains; she must needs know and understand distinctly what he said now, when he was so near her. These then are the words of the church, giving an account of what her beloved said to her, when he made her this kind and indulgent visit; in which may be considered,
I. The preface to the following discourse; "my beloved spake, and said unto me."
II. The exhortation which he presses a compliance to; rise up, and come way."
III. Some affectionate titles which he gives her: "my love, my fair one."
