THE LESSER SHEEPFOLD & THE END-TIME DELIVERANCE OF THE ELECT AT BOZRAH BY THE RETURNING MESSIAH. The Breaker is come up - (gone up) before them; they have broken up (Broken through) and have passed the gate, and have gone forth The image is not of conquest, but of deliverance. They break through, not to enter in but to pass through the gate and go forth. The wall of the city is ordinarily broken through, in order to make an entrance Psalm 80:13; Psalm 89:41; Isaiah 5:5; Nehemiah 2:13, or to secure to a conqueror the power of entering in Proverbs 25:28; 2 Kings 14:13; 2 Chronicles 25:23; 2 Chronicles 26:6 at any time, or by age and decay 2 Chronicles 32:5. But here the object is expressed, to go forth. Plainly then, they were confined before, as in a prison; and the gate of the prison was burst open, to set them free. It is then the same image as when God says by Isaiah; I will say to the North, give up; and to the South, Hold not back Isaiah 43:6, or, Go ye forth of Babylon, Say ye, Yahweh hath redeemed His servant Jacob Isaiah 48:20; or, with the same reminiscence of Gods visible leading of His people out of Egypt Depart ye, depart ye; for ye shall not go out with haste, nor yet by flight, for Yahweh Elohim shall go before you, and the Elohim of Israel will be your reward; or as Hosea describes their restoration (Hosea 1:11, (Hosea 2:2, Hebrew)); Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together and appoint themselves one Head(Yahweh), and they shall go up out of the land. Elsewhere, in Isaiah, the spiritual meaning of the deliverance from the prison is more distinctly brought out, as the work of our Redeemer. I will give Thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles, to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house Isaiah 42:6-7; and, the Spirit of Yahweh our Elohim is upon Me, because Yahweh hath anointed Me(The Messiah) to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound Isaiah 61:1.
