Whither is thy Beloved turned aside—We realize that He has entirely withdrawn Himself from us.
That we may seek Him with thee—Show us in the Word how He is now to be found. “All that a man hath will he give for his life.”
6:2. My Beloved—The Foolish Virgin class, now thoroughly aroused to the facts, explain to the Lord's professed children in nominal Zion.
Is gone down—His Second Advent is accomplished.
Into His garden—He has taken His Bride to Himself.
To the beds of spices—To accept from her heart-garden the fragrant and sweet ingredients of the Holy Spirit.
To feed in the gardens—To receive to Himself the precious fruits love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control.
And to gather lilies—To take the humble sweet ones home; to gather the wheat class into the Heavenly garner.
6:3. I am my Beloved's—The Great Company can not forget that they are precious in the Lord's sight.
And my Beloved is mine—“Fade, Fade, each earthly joy, Jesus is mine.”
