6 " Lift up your eyes to the sky , Then look to the earth beneath e ; For the sky will vanish like smoke , And the earth will wear out like a garment And its inhabitants will die in like manner ; But My salvation will be forever , And My righteousness will not wane .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 51:6
Commentary on Isaiah 51:4-8
(Read Isaiah 51:4-8)
The gospel of Christ shall be preached and published. How shall we escape if we neglect it? There is no salvation without righteousness. The soul shall, as to this world, vanish like smoke, and the body be thrown by like a worn-out garment. But those whose happiness is in Christ's righteousness and salvation, will have the comfort of it when time and days shall be no more. Clouds darken the sun, but do not stop its course. The believer will enjoy his portion, while revilers of Christ are in darkness
