Verse 11. Then shall the children of Judah, and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head; and they shall come up out of the land: for great is the day of Izreel.
Verse 11. Then shall the children of Iuda, and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselues one head; and they shall come vp out of the land: for great is the day of Izreel.
In which words is contained a sweet consolation for all Gods afflicted children, taken from the flourishing estate of 1Gods Church, under the Kingdom and government of Jesus Christ. The which their prosperity and happiness, is first described in the 10. verse, and part of the 11. verse, and then magnified in the last words: for great is the day of Izreel. It is described by four arguments. The first is their multitude; that they should be in number numberless. The second is their dignity; that they should be not only Gods people, but also the sons of the living God. The third is, their unity and unanimity; that they should be gathered together, and appoint unto themselves one head, under whom they should jointly be governed. The last is, their liberty and full redemption; that they should come out of the land polluted with idolatry, and should be adjoined unto the true Church of God.
