Isaiah 66:12
12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
THE RIVER OF PEACE
‘Behold I will ertend peace to her like a river.’
The peace of God’s Church resembles a river—
I. In its source.
II. In its course.—A river is (a) quietly progressive; (b) exceeding deep; (c) fertilizing and enriching; (d) clean and cleansing.
