Isaiah 61:9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them… The children of these persons themselves, that are now the blessed of the Lord, or their successors in profession, the Church's seed, shall be "accounted to the Lord for a generation" (Psalm 22:30). 1. They shall signalize themselves, and make their neighbours to take notice of them. They shall distinguish themselves by the gravity, seriousness, humility, and cheerfulness of their conversation, especially by that brotherly love by which all men shall know them to be Christ's disciples; and they thus distinguishing themselves, God shall dignify them by making then the blessings of their age, and instruments of His glory; and by giving to remarkable tokens of His favour, which shall make them eminent, and go them respect from all about them. 2. God shall have the glory of this, for eve:." one shall attribute it to the blessing of God. ( M. Henry.) Parallel Verses KJV: And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed. |
