And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
Righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins - (Revelation 1:13; Revelation 19:11.) The antitypical High Priest (Exodus 28:4).
Faithfulness the girdle of his reins. A zeal for justice and truth shall energize Him in executing His great work of judging and reigning for God the Father at His advent. The girdle secures firmly the rest of the garments (1 Peter 1:13). So 'truth' gives firm consistency to the whole character (Ephesians 5:14). In Isaiah 59:17 "righteousness" is His breastplate.
