Two Views of "Glorious Within"
Scholars offer two main interpretations of the bride being "all glorious within." Some, like Albert Barnes and Charles Ellicott, see it literally: she is magnificently dressed within her father's palace, awaiting the wedding. Others, including John Gill and Matthew Henry, see a spiritual meaning: the Church's true glory is her inner holiness, the work of God's Spirit in the hearts of believers.
