Lowth, is the great increase and flourishing state of the church of God, by the conversion and accession of the heathen nations to it; which is set forth in such ample and exalted terms, as plainly shew that the full completion of this prophecy is reserved for future times. This subject is displayed in the most splendid colours, under a great variety of images highly poetical, designed to give a general idea of the glories of that perfect state of the church of God, which we are taught to expect in the latter times; when the fulness of the Gentiles shall come in, and the Jews shall be converted and gathered from their dispersions, and "the kingdom of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ."thy gatesNehemiah 13:19; Revelation 21:25 forcesor, wealth, Isaiah 60:5 *marg.ReciprocalJoshua 2:5 - of shutting; 10:24 - put your feet; Psalm 2:10 - O; 45:9 - Kings'; 45:12 - rich; Song of Songs 8:8 - what; Isaiah 2:2 - and all; 26:2 - Open; 49:23 - kings; 61:6 - ye shall eat; 62:2 - all kings; Ezekiel 48:31 - General; Daniel 7:27 - the kingdom and Verse 12Isaiah 41:11, 54:15; Psalm 2:12; Daniel 2:35, 2:44, 2:45; Zechariah 12:2-4, 14:12-19; Matthew 21:44; Luke 19:27; Revelation 2:26, 2:27ReciprocalJoshua 10:24 - put your feet; 2 Samuel 22:44 - head; Ezra 6:12 - destroy; Psalm 2:9 - General; 29:1 - Give; Isaiah 2:2 - and all; Jeremiah 12:17 - if; Daniel 2:34 - which; 7:14 - that all; 7:18 - the saints; 7:27 - and all; Micah 4:3 - and rebuke; Haggai 2:22 - overthrow; Zechariah 9:10 - his dominion; 12:3 - in that; 14:9 - the Lord; 14:17 - that Verse 13The gloryThat is, the cedar; and as the choice timber of Lebanon beautified Solomon's temple, that footstool of Jehovah; so shall the peculiar advantages of every nation, and of every description of men, concur to beautify the church of Christ, which He has determined to make glorious. The language then becomes more energetic, and the images employed more grand and magnificent; and nothing can answer to the glorious description but some future exalted state of the church on earth, or the church triumphant in heaven; though several expressions seem to limit it to the church below.
