1. In Judah is God known. If unknown in all the
world beside, he has so revealed himself to his people by his deeds of grace
that he is no unknown God to them. His name is great in Israel. To be
known, in the Lord’s case, is to be honored: those who know his name admire the
greatness of it. Although Judah and Israel were unhappily divided politically,
yet the godly of both nations were agreed concerning Jehovah their God; and
truly whatever schisms may mar the visible church, the saints always “appear as one” in magnifying the Lord
their God. Dark is the outer world, but within the favored circle Jehovah is
revealed, and is the adoration of all who behold him. The world knows him not
and therefore blasphemes him, but his church is full of ardor to proclaim his
fame unto the ends of the earth.
