Isaiah 56:5 Even to them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters… Again and again the Lord says "will I give," and " I will give." He is always giving; He lives to give. God so loved the world that He gave; His hands are outstretched in continual dispensation of blessing. Observe here the usual condition upon which great honour are promised. This is not an indiscriminate rain of benediction, clouds emptying themselves without regard to character; it is not a confusion of man with man; but there is a principle of discrimination, election, selection, or choice,, running,, through the whole action. (J. Parker, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. |
