INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
CHAPTER 1
“Those that outdo their predecessors in sin may justly expect to fall under greater & sorer judgments than any of their predecessors knew.” “It is just with God to take away those comforts which are abused to luxury & excess” “Those that will not be roused out of their security by the word of God shall be roused by his rod” “Sanctify a fast; let some time be set apart from all worldly business to be spent… in the expressions of repentance & other extraordinary instances of devotion.” “With all the marks of sorrow & shame sin must be confessed & bewailed, the righteousness of God must be acknowledged, & his favour implored.” “When God says, You shall fast, it is time to say, We will fast.” “When we cry in our affliction we must cry to the Lord; this is fasting to him, Zechariah 7:5.” “In time of trouble we must not only pray, but cry, must be fervent & importunate in prayer; & to God, from whom both the destruction is & the salvation must be, ought our cry to be always directed.” Matthew Henry's Commentary: Isaiah to Malachi, Mac Donald, pgs. 1202 - 1207.
