And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Translate, 'I will be to you in the relation of a Father, and ye shall be to me in the relation of sons,' etc. This is a still more endearing relation than (2 Corinthians 6:16), "I will be their God, and they shall be my people." Compare the promise to Solomon (1 Chronicles 28:6; Revelation 21:3; Revelation 21:7; Jeremiah 31:1; Jeremiah 31:9).
Lord Almighty - The Lord the Universal Ruler ( Pantokratoor (G3841): Hebrew, Shaday (H7706)): only found in Revelation. The greatness of the Promiser enhances the greatness of the promises.
