2:13. The fig tree—The Jewish nation.
Putteth forth—“Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; when they now shoot forth ... know ye that the Kingdom of God is nigh.”
Her green figs—Plans for re-establishment in Palestine.
And the vines—Of the Father's right hand planting.
With the tender grape—Bearing the precious fruitage of love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control.
Give a good smell—Yield a sweet perfume to the husbandman. “My Father is the Husbandman.”
Arise My Love—“Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead.”
My fair one—The queen in gold of Ophir, Daughter of the Great King.
And come away.—“Forget also thine own people and thy father's house.”
2:14. O my Dove—The Bride addresses her unseen Lord.
