54. And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary. He conducted them to the frontier of the Holy Land, where he intended
the tabernacle to become the permanent symbol of his abode among his people. He
did not leave them halfway upon their journey. Even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. Nor did he leave them then, but still
conducted them till they were in the region round about Zion, which was to be
the central seat of his worship. This the Lord had purchased in type of old by
the sacrifice of Isaac, fit symbol of the greater sacrifice which was in due
season to be presented there. That mountain was also redeemed by power when the
Lord’s right hand enabled his valiant men to smite the Jebusites and take the
sacred hill from the insulting Canaanites. Thus shall the elect of God enjoy the
sure protection of the Lord of hosts, to the border land of death and through
the river up to the hill of the Lord in glory.
