As the moon—“The law is fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit.”
Clear—Glorious, light-giving.
As the Sun—“Then shall the righteous shine forth as the Sun in the Kingdom of their Father.” “Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
And terrible—In the conquest of evil.
As an army with banners—To an opposing host.
6:11. I went down—Following the exaltation of the Bride. Christ speaks.
Into the garden of nuts—The heart-gardens of the Foolish Virgin class. A garden of nuts does not as quickly yield its treasures as a garden of spices, to which the Bride's heart garden is likened.
To see the fruits of the valley—Of the class that had not risen with the Bride to the Pisgah heights of faith and hope and love.
And to see whether—As a result of their experiences in the Time of Trouble.
The vine flourished—Their characters had been properly affected.
