Commentary on Isaiah (420)

And I will select, says the Lord, priests and Levites from among them, so that those who are saved may proclaim the message to the nations. Of whom one spoke: Thus let a man consider us as ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God (I Cor. IV, 1). And Luke the evangelist says: Just as they handed down to us, who from the beginning saw and were ministers of the word. Of whom we also read above: You shall be priests to me, says the Lord (Isaiah LXI, 6).

The new heavens - The new state of the church to be raised up under the Messiah. Remain - As I intend that shall abide, so there shall be a daily succession of true believers for the upholding of it.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Old things have passed away, behold all things have become new ( 2 Cor. v. 17 ), the old covenant of peculiarity is set aside, and a new covenant, a covenant of grace, established, Heb. viii. We are now to serve in newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter, Rom. vii.
