Oftentimes in Scripture, God's Church's dwelling in Safety, out of the Reach of their Enemies, is represented by their dwelling on high, or being set on high; as Psal. lix.1. lxix.29. xci.14. cvii.41. Prov. xxix.25. Isai. xxxiii.16. The Children of Israel, in their Deliverance out of Egypt, from their cruel Task-Masters, that would fain have brought 'em into Bondage again, were said to be carried on Eagle's Wings, that is loftily in it's Flight, flies away towards Heaven; so that the Egyptians could not come at them: And they were protected by the Cloud that went with them; as the Witnesses are said to be caught up to Heaven in a Cloud. Compare this with Isai. iv.5. And the Lord will create upon every Dwelling-Place of Mount Zion, and upon her Assemblies, a Cloud and Smoke by Day, and the shining of the flaming Fire by Night; for upon all the Glory shall be a Defence.
