(28) Terrified.--The original word is strong--starting, or flinching, like a scared animal. Which (that is, your fearlessness) is . . .--This fearlessness, in the absence of all earthly means of protection or victory, is a sign of a divine "strength made perfect in weakness" (2Corinthians 13:9)--not a complete and infallible sign (for it has often accompanied mere fanatic delusion), but a sign real as far as it goes, having its right force in harmony with others. The effect which it had on the heathen themselves is shown even by the affected contempt with which the Stoics spoke of it, as a kind of "madness," a morbid "habit," a sheer "obstinacy." (See Epictetus, iv. 7; Marc. Aurelius, Med. xi. 3.) And that of God.--These words apply to the word "token," and so derivatively both to "perdition" and "salvation." The sign is of God, because the gift of spiritual strength is of God, but it may be read by both sides. Like the pillar of God's presence, it is "a cloud and darkness" to the one, but "light by night" to the other.
