Isaiah 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun… See, hence, what it is that makes a Church "terrible as an army with banners," to the powers of hell, and the wicked of the world. It is not carnal wisdom and policy; it is not a yielding to the humours of men in the matters of Christ; it is not a squaring our conduct according to the wisdom of this world: no, it is the presence of the Spirit of the Lord, and a following the standard of the Word, which He has given for "a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our paths." (F. Delitzsch, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. |
