9. horses in Pharaoh's chariots —celebrated for beauty, swiftness, and ardor, at the Red Sea ( Exodus 14:15 ). These qualities, which seem to belong to the ungodly, really belong to the saints [MOODY STUART]. The allusion may be to the horses brought at a high price by Solomon out of Egypt ( 2 Chronicles 1:16 ; 2 Chronicles 1:17 ). So the bride is redeemed out of spiritual Egypt by the true Solomon, at an infinite price ( Isaiah 51:1 ; 1 Peter 1:18 ; 1 Peter 1:19 ). But the deliverance from Pharaoh at the Red Sea accords with the allusion to the tabernacle ( Song of Solomon 1:5 ; Song of Solomon 3:6 ; Song of Solomon 3:7 ); it rightly is put at the beginning of the Church's call. The ardor and beauty of the bride are the point of comparison; ( Song of Solomon 3:7- : ) "run"; ( Song of Solomon 1:5 ) "comely." Also, like Pharaoh's horses, she forms a great company ( Revelation 19:7 ; Revelation 19:14 ). As Jesus Christ is both Shepherd and Conqueror, so believers are not only His sheep, but also, as a Church militant now, His chariots and horses ( Song of Solomon 6:4 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
