Bible Commentaries

Job 37:1-24 — 3. lo dirige—Sea como fuere el zigzag del relámpago; o más bien, se aplica al retumbar del trueno. El todo comprensivo poder de Dios. los fines—Lit., alas, o polleras, siendo la tierra habitable comparada a un manto tendido (38:13; Isaías 11:12). 4. El estrépito del trueno sigue instantes después del relámpago. no los detiene—Eso es, los relámpagos (v. 3), cuando se oye el trueno (Maurer.) Más bien, entiéndase que “los” indica los usuales fenómenos concomitantes del trueno, a saber la lluvia,

Isaiah 52:13 — indirect allusions to it still more clearly prove the Messianic interpretation; so universal was that interpretation, that it is simply referred to in connection with the atoning virtue of His death, without being formally quoted (Mark 9:12; Romans 4:25; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 1:19; 1 Peter 2:21-25; 1 John 3:5). The genuineness of the passage is certain; for the Jews would not have forged it, since it is opposed to their notion of Messiah, as a triumphant temporal prince.

Jeremiah 1:1-19 — los reyes durante cuyos reinados profetizó el profeta, están frecuentemente especificados en el título general. Véase referente a esto reyes y la vida de Jeremías mi Introducción. décimotercio de su reinado—(cap. 25:3). el mes quinto—( 2 Reyes 25:8). 4-10. Llamamiento de Jeremías al oficio profético. a mí—La Versión Reina-Valera quizás represente el verdadero texto hebreo; en otros manuscritos se lee “a él”. Pero esta inscripción es sin duda del mismo Jeremías. 5. te conocí te aprobé como mi instrumento

Lamentations 2:1-22 — CAPITULO 2 (II ELEGÍA) Vers. 1-22. Alef, א. 1. Cómo—El título de la compilación se repite aquí y en la Elegía 4:1. oscureció en su furor—esto es, con las tinieblas de la ignominia. derribó del cielo a la tierra—( Mateo 11:23). La lanzó desde la más alta prosperidad a la más abyecta miseria. la hermosura de Israel—su hermoso templo (Salmo 29:2; Salmo 74:7; Salmo

Daniel 9:25 — weeks. As the seventieth week is separated from the rest as a period of revelation, so it may be with the seven weeks. The number seven is associated with revelation; for the seven spirits of God are the mediators of all His revelations (Revelation 1:4; Revelation 3:1; Revelation 4:5). Ten is the number of what is human; for example, the world power issues in ten heads and ten horns (Daniel 2:42; Daniel 7:7). Seventy is ten multiplied by seven, the human moulded by the divine. The seventy years of

Hosea 7:1-16 — grande que excluía toda esperanza de recuperación. Luego enumera las maldades de Judá: “Viene el ladrón (entrando sigilosamente adentro), y la tropa de bandidos despoja de fuera” (con abierta violencia). 2. No dicen (consideran) en su corazón—(Salmo 14:1) los rodearán sus obras—como tantos testigos en su contra (Salmo 9:16, Proverbios 5:22). delante de mí—(Salmo 90:8.) 3. Sus príncipes, en vez de restringírlos, tienen agrado en los que hacen tales crímenes ( Romanos 1:32). 4. cesará de avivar—más

Obadiah overview — fourth among the minor prophets according to the Hebrew arrangement of the canon, the fifth according to the Greek. Some consider him to be the same as the Obadiah who superintended the restoration of the temple under Josiah, 627 B.C. (2 Chronicles 34:12). But Obadiah 1:11-16; Obadiah 1:20 imply that Jerusalem was by this time overthrown by the Chaldeans, and that he refers to the cruelty of Edom towards the Jews on that occasion, which is referred to also in Lamentations 4:21; Lamentations 4:22; Ezekiel

Matthew 5:5 — find rest unto your souls" (Titus 3:1-56.3.7- :); and the apostle besought one of the churches by "the meekness and gentleness of Christ" (Titus 3:1-56.3.7- :). In what esteem this is held by Him who seeth not as man seeth, we may learn from 1 Peter 3:4, where the true adorning is said to be that of "a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price." Towards men this disposition is the opposite of high-mindedness, and a quarrelsome and revengeful spirit; it "rather takes wrong,

Luke 21:1-38 — LAS DOS BLANCAS DE LA VIUDA. 1. Mirando—Se había “sentado Jesús delante del arca de la ofrenda” (Marco 12:41), probablemente para descansar, porque había continuado enseñando largo tiempo, de pie en el patio del templo (Marco 11:27), y “mirando, vió”, como en el caso de Zaqueo, no del todo casualmente. a los ricos, etc.—“cómo el pueblo echaba dinero en el

Romans 3:1-31 — ventaja principal] ciertamente, que la palabra de Dios les ha sido confiada—Esta notable expresión, que significa “comunicaciones divinas” en general, se usa con respecto a las Escrituras para expresar su carácter autoritativo, divino y dogmático. 3, 4. ¿Pues qué si algunos de ellos han sido incrédulos?—Es la incredulidad de toda la nación como tal, lo que el apóstol señala; pero como era suficiente para el argumento expresar la suposición de una manera suave, emplea la palabra “algunos” para ablandar

1 Timothy 3:15 — 15. But if I tarry long—before coming to thee. that—that is, I write (1 Timothy 3:14) "that thou mayest know," c. behave thyself—in directing the Church at Ephesus (1 Timothy 3:14- :). the house of God—the Church (Hebrews 3:2 Hebrews 3:5; Hebrews 3:6; Hebrews 10:21; 1 Peter 4:17; 1 Corinthians 3:16, "the temple of God"; 1 Corinthians

Hebrews 11:2 — giving their powerful testimony to the reasonableness and excellence of faith ( :-). Not merely the ancients, as though they were people solely of the past; nay, they belong to the one and the same blessed family as ourselves (Hebrews 11:39; Hebrews 11:40). "The elders," whom we all revere so highly. "Paul shows how we ought to seek in all its fulness, under the veil of history, the essential substance of the doctrine sometimes briefly indicated" [BENGEL]. "The elders," as "the fathers," is a title

Hebrews 2:17 — deserving wrath by "sins." Mercy is a prime requisite in a priest, since his office is to help the wretched and raise the fallen: such mercy is most likely to be found in one who has a fellow-feeling with the afflicted, having been so once Himself (Hebrews 4:15); not that the Son of God needed to be taught by suffering to be merciful, but that in order to save us He needed to take our manhood with all its sorrows, thereby qualifying Himself, by experimental suffering with us, to be our sympathizing High

1 Peter 3:7 — honor to the woman is, because God gives honor to both as fellow heirs; compare the same argument, :-). He does not take into account the case of an unbelieving wife, as she might yet believe. grace of life—God's gracious gift of life (1 Peter 1:4; 1 Peter 1:13). that your prayers be not hindered—by dissensions, which prevent united prayer, on which depends the blessing.

2 Peter 1:4 — 4. Whereby, c.—By His glory and virtue: His glory making the "promises" to be exceeding great His virtue making them "precious" [BENGEL]. Precious promises are the object of precious faith. given—The promises themselves are a gift: for God's promises

2 Peter 3:4 — 4. (Compare Psalms 10:11; Psalms 73:11.) Presumptuous skepticism and lawless lust, setting nature and its so-called laws above the God of nature and revelation, and arguing from the past continuity of nature's phenomena that there can be no future interruption

Revelation 1:20 — . candlesticks—in apposition to, and explaining, "the things which thou hast seen," governed by "Write." Mystery signifies the hidden truth, veiled under this symbol, and now revealed; its correlative is revelation. Stars symbolize lordship (Numbers 24:17; compare Numbers 24:17- :, of faithful teachers; Revelation 8:10; Revelation 12:4; Judges 1:13). angels—not as ALFORD, from ORIGEN [Homily 13 on Luke, and Homily 20 on Numbers], the guardian angels of the churches, just as individuals have their

Revelation 21:1-27 — preparatoria para la nueva; pero “día” se usa muchas veces para denotar todo un período que comprende eventos íntimamente relacionados, como son la segunda venida del Señor, el milenio, así como la conflagración general y el juicio. Véase Génesis 2:4, referente al uso amplio de “día.” El alma del hombre se redime por la regeneración del Espíritu Santo ahora; el cuerpo del hombre será redimido en la resurrección; la morada del hombre, su herencia, la tierra, será redimida perfectamente en la creación

Revelation 3:18 — to advantage; then, listen to My counsel (for I am "Counsellor," Isaiah 9:6), buy of ME" (in whom, according to Paul's Epistle written to the neighboring Colosse and intended for the Laodicean Church also, Colossians 2:1; Colossians 2:3; Colossians 4:16, are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge). "Buy" does not imply that we can, by any work or merit of ours, purchase God's free gift; nay the very purchase money consists in the renunciation of all self-righteousness, such as Laodicea

Revelation 8:7 — characterizes the inflictions of the first four, those elements which had been abused punishing their abusers. mingled with—A, B, and Vulgate read, Greek, ". . . IN blood." So in the case of the second and third vials (Revelation 16:3; Revelation 16:4). upon the earth—Greek, "unto the earth." A, B, Vulgate, and Syriac add, "And the third of the earth was burnt up." So under the third trumpet, the third of the rivers is affected: also, under the sixth trumpet, the third part of men are killed. In Zechariah
