With sweet smelling myrrh—A knowledge of all the precious things of Present Truth.
Upon the handles—The lines of prophetical evidence.
Of the lock—The time features of the Lord's Plan.
5:6. I opened to my Beloved—After the Harvest work was finished.
But my Beloved—True to His word.
Had withdrawn Himself—“And they that were ready went in with Him to the marriage.”
And was gone—And the door was shut.
My soul failed when He spake—I lacked the love, faith and hope to obey promptly.
I sought Him—“Many shall strive to enter in but shall not be able when once the Master of the House hath risen up and shut to the door.”
But found Him not—“I am He that shutteth and no man openeth.”
