EU 28:12{When the wise men opened their treasures, they brought out gold and frankincense and myrrh. When Jehovah opens unto us His good treasure, we shall see greater things than these. The context of this rich promise seems to make the Heaven the treasure house; and in its primary and literal sense, the fertilizing rain is the first outpouring of the opened treasure, soon after expanded into beautiful details of "the precious things of heaven and... the precious things of the earth." But the spiritual blessings are closely interwoven with the temporal in the whole passage, and the faithful Israelites who did not "look only for transitory promises" may well have claimed the opening of heavenly treasure through this promise.
Nor withhold we glad thanksgiving for His mercies ever new,
Precious things of earth and Heaven, sun and rain and quickening dew;
Precious fruits and varied crowning of the year His goodness fills,
Chief things of the ancient mountains, precious things of lasting hills.
