The third verse is definitely an allusion to several Biblical stories.
First is an unhappy, disgruntled angel, perhaps Lucifer himself. (I swung my fiery sword, I vent my spleen at the Lord). The next, with the "milk and honey" line is a reference to John the Baptist, and the mystery of faith (Jesus is the Lord, the Lord is Jesus). The last is the story of Cain and Abel - he'll walk through the wilderness, just like Cain, with nothing.

Well not quite nothing.
