Charles Spurgeon Commentary


Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence, as when fire kindleth the brushwood, [and] the fire causeth the waters to boil; to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!" — Isaiah 64:1-2 (ASV)
Or, much better, "as when the brushwood burns"; for if God only comes to his people, they are ready to catch the flame, like the dry heather which is soon ablaze; and his enemies also shall be like brushwood before the fire.
