Psalms 37:1-40 — Los justos no deben inquietarse por la prosperidad de los inicuos, porque es pasajera, y el fin de ellos, indeseable. 3. espera—o, vive tú, reposa tranquilo. serás alimentado—o, aliméntate de la verdad, de la promesa de Dios (36:5; cf. Oseas 12:1). 4. peticiones—deseos expresados ( Oseas 20:5; Oseas 21:2), lícitos y justos, verdaderamente buenos ( Oseas 84:11). 5. encomienda, etc.—( Proverbios 16:3.) Las obras: lo que debes hacer y no puedes, expresado como una carga. espera—Confía en él. El hará

Song of Solomon 5:1 — 1. Answer to her prayer (Isaiah 65:24; Revelation 3:20). am come—already (Revelation 3:20- :); "come" (Revelation 3:20- :). sister . . . spouse—As Adam's was created of his flesh, out of his opened side, there being none on earth on a level with him, so the bride out of the pierced Saviour

Isaiah 40:1-31 — la pronta terminación de la cautividad, cuyo conductor será el propio Jehová. pueblo mío … vuestro Dios—expresiones correlativas (Jeremias 31:33; Oseas 1:9). La base de su intervención en su favor, después de haberlos castigado por an tiempo (cap. 54:8), es la relación debida al pacto celebrado con su pueblo y a la palabra de la promesa dada a sus antepasados (v. 8) 2. Hablad al corazón—no meramente al intelecto. Jerusalem—Bien que estaba entonces en ruinas, Dios la contempla como a punto de ser

Isaiah 42:1-25 — EL MESIAS ANTITIPO DE CIRO—Descripción del carácter de aquél por Dios (vv. 1-4). Dios se dirige directamente a él (vv. 5-7). Habla al pueblo para que preste atención al asunto (vv. 8, 9). Llamada dirigida a todos, especialmente a los expatriados dos judíos, para que se regocijen por la venidera liberación (vv. 10-25). 1. mi siervo—La

Isaiah 7 overview — Chronicles 28:5). Their object was probably to unite the three kingdoms against Assyria. Egypt seems to have favored the plan, so as to interpose these confederate kingdoms between her own frontier and Assyria (compare Isaiah 7:18, "Egypt"; and 2 Kings 17:4, Hoshea's league with Egypt). Rezin and Pekah may have perceived Ahaz' inclination towards Assyria rather than towards their own confederacy; this and the old feud between Israel and Judah (2 Kings 17:4- :) occasioned their invasion of Judah. Ahaz,

Jeremiah 33:1-26 — hizo—mejor, el hacedor de ella, esto es, la profecía que Jeremías está a punto de proferir tocante al regreso de Israel, un suceso que ahora se considera imposible, pero que el Todopoderoso ha de efectuar. que la formó—a saber, a Jerusalén (cap. 32:44). [Calvino]. Más bien, que formó, esto es que amoldó sus propósitos en debida forma como para ejecutarlos ( Isaías 37:26). Jehová es su nombre—( Éxodo 3:14). 3. Clama … y te responderé—(Cap. 29:12; Salmo 91:15). Dios exhorta a Jeremías como a representante

Jeremiah 7:1-34 — Jerusalén. La profecía que se da aquí en detalle está allí brevemente aludida. La nación, después que hubo muerto Josías, debido a la pésima influencia de Joacim, volvió a caer en la idolatría, cuyas prácticas se combinaron con el culto rendido a Jehová (vv. 4, 10). 2. puerta—esto es, la puerta del atrio de Israel dentro del de las mujeres. Aquellos a quienes Jeremías se dirige penetraban por la puerta que conducía al atrio de las mujeres, y por la puerta que conducía al atrio exterior de los gentiles. (Deahí

Ezekiel 11:16 — Although—anticipating the objection of the priests at Jerusalem, that the exiles were "cast far off." Though this be so, and they are far from the outer temple at Jerusalem, I will be their asylum or sanctuary instead (Psalms 90:1; Psalms 91:9; Isaiah 8:14). My shrine is the humble heart: a preparation for gospel catholicity when the local and material temple should give place to the spiritual (Isaiah 57:15; Isaiah 66:1; Malachi 1:11; John 4:21-24; Acts 7:48; Acts 7:49). The trying discipline of the exile

Amos 9:12 — Lord, and all the Gentiles," c. For "all the heathen" nations stand on the same footing as Edom: Edom is the representative of them all. The residue or remnant in both cases expresses those left after great antecedent calamities (Romans 9:27 Zechariah 14:16). Here the conversion of "all nations" (of which the earnest was given in James's time) is represented as only to be realized on the re-establishment of the theocracy under Messiah, the Heir of the throne of David (Amos 9:11). The possession of the

1 Corinthians 12:1-31 — CAPITULO 12 EL USO Y EL ABUSO DE LOS DONES ESPIRITUALES, ESPECIALMENTE EL DON DE PROFECIA Y EL DON DE LENGUAS. Este es el segundo tema correctivo que el apóstol dirige a las asambleas corintias: el primero ya fué discutido (cap. 11:18-34). 1. acerca de los dones espirituales—Que eran una señal de la continua y eficiente presencia del Espíritu en la iglesia, que es el cuerpo de Cristo, el complemento de su encarnación, así como el cuerpo es el complemento de la cabeza. Por el amor que

1 Corinthians 2:1-16 — evitar el ofender a los eruditos paga nos y judíos. La persona de Cristo y el oficio de Cristo constituyen la esencia del evangelio. 3. Y estuve yo con vosotros—Es decir, “Yo, el predicador”. El v. 2 describe el tema: “Cristo crucificado,” y el v. 4, la manera en que fué predicado: no “con palabras persuasivas … mas con demostración … de poder.” con flaqueza—personal y corporal ( 2 Corintios 10:10; 2 Corintios 12:7, 2 Corintios 12:9; Gálatas 4:13). y temblor—(comp. Filipenses 2:12). No miedo

1 Timothy 6:20 — coming heresies. keep—from spiritual thieves, and from enemies who will, while men sleep, sow tares amidst the good seed sown by the Son of man. that which is committed to thy trust—Greek, "the deposit" (1 Timothy 1:18; 2 Timothy 1:12; 2 Timothy 1:14; 2 Timothy 2:2). "The true" or "sound doctrine" to be taught, as opposed to "the science falsely so called," which leads to "error concerning the faith" (2 Timothy 2:2- :). "It is not thine: it is another's property with which thou hast been entrusted:

Hebrews 12:3 — of comparison with yourselves, so the Greek. contradiction—unbelief, and every kind of opposition ( :-). sinners—Sin assails us. Not sin, but sinners, contradicted Christ [BENGEL]. be wearied and faint—Greek, "lest ye weary fainting." Compare Isaiah 49:4; Isaiah 49:5, as a specimen of Jesus not being wearied out by the contradiction and strange unbelief of those among whom He labored, preaching as never man did, and exhibiting miracles wrought by His inherent power, as none else could do.

Hebrews 13:25 — 25. Paul's characteristic salutation in every one of his other thirteen Epistles, as he says himself, 1 Corinthians 16:21; 1 Corinthians 16:23; Colossians 4:18; 2 Thessalonians 3:17. It is found in no Epistle written by any other apostle in Paul's lifetime. It is used in Revelation 22:21, written subsequently, and in CLEMENT OF ROME. Being known to be his badge, it is not used by others in his lifetime. The Greek here is, "The grace (namely, of our Lord Jesus Christ) be with you all."

1 Peter 5:7 — along with humble submission to God. careth for you—literally "respecting you." Care is a burden which faith casts off the man on his God. Compare Psalms 22:10; Psalms 37:5; Psalms 55:22, to which Peter alludes; Luke 12:22; Luke 12:37; Philippians 4:6. careth—not so strong a Greek word as the previous Greek "anxiety."

2 Peter 1:14 — 14. shortly I must put off—Greek, "the putting off (as a garment) of my tabernacle is speedy": implying a soon approaching, and also a sudden death (as a violent death is). Christ's words, John 21:18; John 21:19, "When thou art old," &c., were the ground of his "knowing," now that he was old, that his foretold martyrdom was near. Compare as to Paul, 2 Timothy 4:6. Though a violent death, he calls it a "departure" (Greek for "decease," 2 Peter 1:15), compare Acts 7:60.

2 Peter 3:17 — before—the event. led away with—the very term, as Peter remembers, used by Paul of Barnabas' being "carried," Greek, "led away with" Peter and the other Jews in their hypocrisy. wicked—"lawless," as in 2 Peter 2:7. fall from—(grace, Galatians 5:4: the true source of) "steadfastness" or stability in contrast with the "unstable" (2 Peter 3:16): "established" (2 Peter 1:12): all kindred Greek terms. Compare Judges 1:20; Judges 1:21.

Revelation 13:4 — 4. which gave—A, B, C, Vulgate, Syriac, and ANDREAS read, "because he gave." power—Greek, "the authority" which it had; its authority. Who is like unto the beast?—The very language appropriated to God, :- (whence, in the Hebrew, the Maccabees took

Revelation 21:22 — was "His sanctuary," so He is to be their sanctuary. Means of grace shall cease when the end of grace is come. Church ordinances shall give place to the God of ordinances. Uninterrupted, immediate, direct, communion with Him and the Lamb (compare John 4:23), shall supersede intervening ordinances.

Revelation 6:14 — 14. departed—Greek, "was separated from" its place; "was made to depart." Not as ALFORD, "parted asunder"; for, on the contrary, it was rolled together as a scroll which had been open is rolled up and laid aside. There is no "asunder one from another"
