I called Him—“Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter in.”
But He gave me no answer—No hope of being His Bride and Joint-heir.
5:7. The watchmen—Watchmen in nominal Zion, the clergy of the nominal church.
That went about the city—Christendom.
Found me—Observed my course in accepting Present Truth and withdrawing from their systems.
They smote me—“With arrows, even bitter words.”
They wounded me—Wounded my reputation.
The keepers—Civil authorities.
Of the walls—The Governments, the bulwarks of Christendom.
Took away my veil from me—Were instigated to destroy me, to cause me to pass into death.
