But the gates of the church of God are always open to receive the arrivals, and they receive also the godly kings drawn there by the teaching of the holy apostles.…The Babylonians hardly idolized Jerusalem, whereas the majority of the members of the Gentiles adore the church of God and that is particularly true of their offspring. When the parents have reached the end of their life, their children, having learned the truth from them, present worship to the Savior by carrying out their acts of worship in the houses of prayer.… For the earthly Jerusalem received another name, when the Roman kings called it Aelia. How then can the accuracy of the prophecy be shown unless one understand \"Zion\" more in a spiritual sense?… The church of God demonstrates the truth of this prediction. It continually receives royal gifts and welcomes that which is brought forth from the nations as it sings the praises of the One who is the cause of all these.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Isaiah 19:60.11-16</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"8927c2d3b4404f8d2db92aadb354d8d55198904d3839f3d862cc06698eb20c36","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":7770,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"d1d6943335ff434f894dabfa1004a6ba097e780cc97eede4801aac17cb75de39","translator":null,"work":null}
