The Gentile Church's joy at its free admission to gospel privileges (Acts 15:30-31). She is one wall in the spiritual temple of the Holy Ghost, the Hebrew Church is the other; Jesus Christ, the common foundation, joins them (Ephesians 2:11-22).
breasts . . . towers—alluding to the silver palace, which the bridal virgins proposed to build on her (Song of Solomon 8:9). "Breasts" of consolation (Isaiah 66:11); faith and love (I Thessalonians 5:8); opposed to her previous state, "no breasts" (Song of Solomon 8:8; II Thessalonians 1:3). Thus Ezekiel 16:46, Ezekiel 16:61 was fulfilled, both Samaria and the Gentiles being joined to the Jewish gospel Church.
favour—rather, "peace." The Gentile Church too is become the Shulamite (Song of Solomon 6:13), or peace-enjoying bride of Solomon, that is, Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace (Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:14). Reject not those whom God accepts (Numbers 11:28; Luke 9:49; Acts 15:8-9). Rather, superadd to such every aid and privilege (Song of Solomon 8:9).
