"Hearken unto Me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart
is My law; fear not the reproach of men, neither be afraid of their revilings.
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them
up like wool; but My righteousness shall be forever, and My salvation
from generation to generation.
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in the
ancient days, in the generation of old. Art Thou not it that hath cut
Rahab, (Egypt) and wounded the dragon (Pharoah)?
Art Thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep;
that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing into Zion;
and everlasting joy shall be upon their head; then they shall obtain gladness
and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away."
(Isaiah 51:7-11)
"The remnant, thus set in their place, are revealed by the Spirit of prophecy, as
owned of Jehovah. The same Spirit speaks by the mouth of the remnant, to implore
His intervention in power, and to claim the loving-kindness of Jehovah, and
the assured salvation of His redeemed ones, as well as the
re-establishment of Zion (Israel) in everlasting joy.
The remnant thus encouraged, the Spirit turns to Zion, and even as "Awake! Awake!"
had been addressed to the arm of Jehovah, so now it is to Zion herself,
oppressed and trodden under the foot of strangers.
As if to say it was Zion that had need to awake, not the Lord, for salvation
was there. The cup shall now be given to those that afflicted her again.
"Awake! Awake!" is once more addressed to her, that she may stand up and clothe
herself in strength and glory. For Jehovah has made bare His holy arm in the eyes
of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of Israel's God."
