Bible Comments

Thus saith the Lord, the same God of the covenant who has spoken in the foregoing powerful appeals, Keep ye judgment, equity or righteousness in living in conformity with the demands of the covenant with Jehovah, and do justice, following the ordinances of His will, the admonition presupposing a neglect in this respect on the part of the Lord's people; for My salvation is near to come and My righteousness to be revealed, namely, in the glories of the Messianic revelation. It is the same message which was proclaimed by John the Baptist: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. " Matthew 3:8; Matthew 4:17.
