3. The salvation of Israel will be glorious, in respect of the continuance of their happiness, when once this great work is brought unto perfection.
Justly how long this glorious day shall continue, is not for us to say, for therein the Scripture is silent; Only it is evident, that it will be for Generations one after another. If you look into that place in the Prophet, from whence the Apostle taketh the words of my Text (viz. Isa. 59.20, 21.) you will see that the saved state of Israel must continue at least for three Generations. See also Ezek. 37.25. yea this glory will continue for many Generations, Isa. 60.15. Hence the new heavens and the new earth, which God will create when the salvation of all Israel shall be consummate, is said (not to be for a while, and so to pass away, but) to remain before him, Isa. 66.22. Yea this glorious state and condition of Israel is said to l•st for ever, partly because they shall never more be brought into the hands of any oppressors, and partly because this their glory will be of very long continuance, Joel 3.20.
