On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Let our hope of the stability and perpetuity of the church be hereby encouraged. "From what we have seen, compared with what we have heard, in the city of our God, we may conclude that God will establish it for ever." This was not fulfilled in Jerusalem (that city was long since destroyed, and all its glory laid in the dust), but has its accomplishment in the gospel church.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
