Psalms 81:14-15. I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him; but their time should have endured for ever.
"Their time" - the time of his own people - "should have endured for ever." They might have been always conquerors, always kings, always favored of God, always walking in the light, as God is in the light. So might it be with us if we would first hearken to God, and next, walk in his ways. The mark on the ear and the mark on the foot are two of the tokens of Christ’s sheep: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." May we all have both the ear-mark and the foot-mark!
