O my lord. — This is addressed to “the angel that talked with me,” or, perhaps, in me, according as we regard him as discharging the office of the Virgil of Dante, or the Daimon of Socrates (but, see Lawes’ History of Philosophy). LXX., ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοί. This is the angel-interpreter, whose office it was to interpret the visions (Zechariah 1:18; Zechariah 2:3; Zechariah 4:1; Zechariah 4:4; Zechariah 5:5; Zechariah 6:4), and who is often referred to simply as “he.”

I will shew thee. — viz., by the word of “the man who stood among the myrtles.”
