Christ's Heavenly Ministry
Most commentators see this verse as spoken by Christ, describing His activity while we await His return. The phrase 'until the day break' refers to the period before His second coming. He has gone to the 'mountain of myrrh,' which scholars like Spurgeon interpret as heaven, where the sweet aroma of His sacrifice and intercession continually rise before the Father.
