Commentary
Matthew Henry Concise
Summary
The Holy Spirit, both in the Old and the New Testament, spoke of a general turning from the faith of Christ, and the pure worship of God. This should come
during the Christian dispensation, for those are called the latter days.
Reflection
We find exercise for watchfulness and self- denial, in attending to the requirements of God's law, without being tasked to imaginary duties, which reject what he has allowed. But nothing
justifies an intemperate or improper use of things; and nothing will be good to us, unless we seek by prayer for the Lord's blessing upon it.
