The Enlargement of the Church
Isaiah 60:5-8
Then you shall see, and flow together, and your heart shall fear, and be enlarged…


We are likewise told how the Church shall be affected with this increase of her numbers and enlargement of her borders.

1. She will be in a transport of joy upon this account (ver. 5).

2. There will be a mixture of fear with this joy. "Thine heart shall fear," as though it were a thing unlawful to join with the Gentiles, etc.

3. She shall be enlarged with Love, so as to leave room for all the Gentile converts.

4. She shall be struck with surprise and wonder, saying, "Who are these that fly?" etc.

(E. Erskine.)
