Song of Solomon 6:9

9 Chorus to Groom: Who is she, who advances like the rising dawn, as beautiful as the moon, as elect as the sun, as terrible as an army in battle array? ^{▼▼6:9The maidens seek further knowledge of the bride, whom they admire and seek to imitate and follow, from the groom. +Those not yet mature in the Faith seek further knowledge of the Church. They realize that the Church is advancing in holiness like the rising sun. Even in a time of darkness in the world, the Church is like the radiant moon, giving light throughout the night.(Conte)
,} ^{▼▼6:9 Who is she, etc: Here is a beautiful metaphor describing the church from the beginning. As, the morning rising, signifying the church before the written law; fair as the moon, showing her under the light of the gospel: and terrible as an army, the power of Christ’s church against its enemies.(Challoner)}
