Isaiah 54:3

Isa 54:3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

Ver. 3. For thou shalt break forth, ] i.e., Bring forth abundantly, and beyond belief. Margaret Countess of Henneberg, brought forth at a birth in Holland three hundred and sixty-five children, one skull whereof I have seen, saith mine author, no bigger than a bead or bean. a The Church brought forth three thousand at one birth, Act 2:41 and some whole nations at another. Isa 66:8 Rom 10:18

And thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles. ] Shall spiritually become lords of the world, peopling it with a new and holy generation of such as "seek God’s face, this is Jacob." Psa 24:6 This text the Jews and millenaries carnally construe.
