Psalms 87:4 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

This verse throws great light upon the glorious things spoken of before. For the words are as if Jehovah had said, I will cause it to be remembered by them, who knew me in Rahab and Babylon, here was the man born. And who but Christ could be the man born in Zion, to be the Saviour of his church, which is his body, whether called from Rahab and Babylon, Philistia or Tyre? So Jehovah declared, when proclaiming it a light thing to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel, I will also give thee, said Jehovah, for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation, unto the ends of the earth. Isaiah 49:6.
