Isaiah 6:13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them… 1. The seed, like the tithe, is but little in respect of the rest of the field. Yet — 2. It is a numerous seed, absolutely considered in itself (Revelation 7:9). 3. It is an honourable seed. 4. A costly seed unto our glorious Redeemer. 5. A flourishing and fruitful seed. 6. A troubled and persecuted seed in this world. 7. Yet a very durable seed (Psalm 89:28, 29). 8. In this world a scattered seed. 9. A holy seed. (E. Erskine.) Parallel Verses KJV: But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof. |
