On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And the more we are acquainted, and the more intimately we converse, with the glory of God in these three branches of it, the more commanding influence will divine revelation have upon us and the more ready shall we be to submit to it, which is the thing aimed at in prefacing the prophecies of this book with these visions.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

"Let those who said, We shall have peace though we go on, know that our God is a consuming fire, whom they cannot stand before." That this vision had a reference to the destruction of Jerusalem seems plain from ch. xliii. 3 , where he says that it was the vision which he saw when he came to destroy the city, that is, to prophesy the destruction of it.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

the bow . . . in . . . rain--the symbol of the sure covenant of mercy to God's children remembered amidst judgments on the wicked; as in the flood in Noah's days (Re 4:3). "Like hanging out from the throne of the Eternal a fing of peace, assuring all that the purpose of Heaven was to preserve rather than to destroy.
