And truly his own people do not know him nor magnify him, nor set him up, as they ought, by sanctifying him in their hearts, by trusting in him, and waiting for him; 1so much is implied in that promise: Israel shall cry unto me, My God I know thee. Israel had thought she had known God before, but she did not; Israel shall cry, My God I know thee.

- 1Isa. 8. Hosea. 8.2.
Thus that God may be known in the world, both by friends and foes; that the Enemies may know him, to their Confusion, and Israel may know him, to their Consolation; That God may be Somebody in the world; God hath times to Arise for the rescue and deliverance of his people:
Now will I Arise, Now will I be Exalted, Now will I lift up my self.
