15. So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord. Mercy within the church is
soon perceived by those without. When a candle is lit in the house, it shines
through the window. When Zion rejoices in her God, the heathen begin to
reverence his name, for they hear of the wonders of his power, and are
impressed thereby. And all the kings of the earth thy glory. The
restoration of Jerusalem was a marvel among the princes who heard of it, and
its ultimate resurrection in days yet to come will be one of the prodigies of
history. Oh that we might see in our day such a revival of religion that our
senators and princes might be compelled to pay homage to the Lord, and own his
glorious grace. This cannot be till the saints are better edified, and more
fully builded together for an habitation of God though the Spirit.
