ExplanationCommentary
Verse 35. The Lord is there. This name is here given to the city; that is, the Church of Christ; because the Lord is always with her till the end of the world. Matthew 28:20. Challoner.—He always adorns the Church triumphant; (Revelation 22) but has deserted the synagogue. Matthew 23:38. Worthington.—Jerusalem certainly never bore this name, nor is it requisite that she should, if the prophecy had been literally understood. It would suffice, if she could justly claim such a prerogative. See Isaiah 7:14 and 2 Kennicott. 12:25. The Church of Christ possesses God for ever. Calmet.
