33. To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old. Before, he was described in his earthly manifestations as marching
through the desert; now, in his celestial glory, as riding in the heavens of
the primeval ages. Long before this heaven and earth were made, the loftier
abodes of the Deity stood fast; before men or angels were created, the
splendors of the great King were as great as now, and his triumphs as glorious.
Our knowledge reaches but to a small fragment of the life of God, whose “goings forth were of old, even from everlasting.” Lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. Was
there a thunderclap just then heard in heaven? Or, did the poet’s mind flash
backward to the time when from the heaven of heavens the voice of Jehovah broke
the long silence and said, “Light be,” and light was? The Gospel, which utters and reveals his word, is the
power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes. Our voices are fitly
called to praise him whose voice spoke us into being, and gives us the
effectual grace which secures our well-being.
