Толкование Книга пророка Исаии 61 глава 7 стих - Экзегет

Instead of their double shame, and instead of dishonor, their portion shall rejoice. To the holy apostles he says these things: Do not be vexed when you are persecuted and tortured and receive reproaches from all and endure countless forms of death; for through your sufferings the nations will obtain salvation and will become of the portion of those who rejoice. Therefore they shall inherit their land a second time. And showing the manner of the inheritance, he added: And everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. For the earth shall be released from its former curse and shall be new, putting off the corruption |178 b| with which it is now clothed. For so also the divine apostle said: ‘And creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.’ Therefore, he called the future life a second inheritance.
