(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
he shall stand - that is, persevere: implying the endurance of His kingdom [Calvin]. Rather, His sedulous care and pastoral circumspection, as a shepherd stands erect to survey and guard His flock on every side (Isa 61:5) [Maurer].
feed - that is, rule: as the Greek word similarly in Mat 2:6, Margin, means both “feed” and “rule” (Isa 40:11; Isa 49:10; Eze 34:23; compare 2Sa 5:2; 2Sa 7:8).
in the majesty of the name of the Lord - possessing the majesty of all Jehovah’s revealed attributes (“name”) (Isa 11:2; Phi 2:6, Phi 2:9; Heb 2:7-9).
his God - God is “His God” in a oneness of relation distinct from the sense in which God is our God (Joh 20:17).
they shall abide - the Israelites (“they,” namely, the returning remnant and the “children of Israel previously in Canaan) shall dwell in permanent security and prosperity (Mic 4:4; Isa 14:30).
unto the ends of the earth - (Mic 4:1; Psa 72:8; Zec 9:10).
