"Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Gather my saints together unto me,.... These words are spoken by Christ to the heavens and the earth; that is, to the angels, the ministers of the Gospel, to gather in, by the ministry of the word, his elect ones
among the Gentiles; see Mat 24:30 ; called his "saints", who had an interest in his favour and lovingkindness, and were sanctified or set apart for his service and glory; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice; or, "who have made my covenant by, or on sacrifice" (s); the covenant of grace, which was made with Christ from everlasting, and which was confirmed by his blood and sacrifice; this his people may be said to make with God in him, he being their head, surety, and representative: now these covenant ones he will have gathered in to himself by the effectual calling, which is usually done by the ministry of the word; for this is not to be understood of the gathering of all nations to him, before him as a Judge; but of his special people to him as a Saviour, the "Shiloh", to whom the gathering of the people was to be, Gen 49:10 . (s) So Pagninus.
