These are the blessed consequences of the reign of Jesus. His birth shall be as the dew-drops of the morning; and the Lord will give his people a name, in his house, better than of sons and daughters, Isaiah 56:5. If we translate the blessings spoken of, concerning temporal things, in reference to spiritual, then we shall have a clearer apprehension of the incalculable blessings in Jesus. Our sons, like plants, and our daughters, polished after the similitude of a palace, do not unaptly represent the children of Jesus, who are trees of the Lord's right-hand planting; and all the refreshing graces of the Holy Spirit are polished, as love, joy, peace, and every blessing of the covenant in Christ. These garners will be indeed opening an inexhaustible treasure of all that a regenerated soul in Christ can live upon. And the product of such grace in the heart will raise up everlasting revenues of praise to Jehovah, and happiness to the church, as thousands and tens of thousands of cattle figuratively set forth. Complaining will he done away, and the voice of sorrow and sin be heard no more in our streets. Oh! happy period of the church of God! Lord, hasten, it in thine own time, to thine own praise, and thy people's joy.

13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
14 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
