And by the hinds—The things which you regard as most full of grace; therefore typical of your churches, colleges, hospitals, libraries and charitable institutions.
Of the field—The world, the present order of things.
That ye stir not up—Seek not to arouse.
Nor awake my Love—To take charge of earth's affairs.
Till He please—For when He does stand up to assume control, “there will be a Time of Trouble such as never was,” in which all these beautiful things upon which you have set your heart will be obliterated.
3:6. Who is this that cometh—The Lord's professed people thus speak of the evidences of the Lord's Second Presence.
Out of the wilderness—The Time of Trouble having come, they recognize that the long-promised Second Coming of the Lord is an accomplished fact.
Like pillars of smoke—Terrible in majesty, definite, personal, intangible. “I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.”
Perfumed with myrrh—Anointed with Wisdom.
And frankincense—Praise to Jehovah.
