Книга пророка Исаии, Глава 66, стих 12. Толкования стиха

Река Духа

Река (здесь) означает Дух Святой. И Он есть разливающийся поток (Ис 66:12), который согласно Закона иудеев проистек от Иисуса в их земли. И мы восприняли известие о том из уст пророка Исаии . Этот великий поток никогда не иссякает. И ведь Он разливается не только в границах одного внутреннего сво­его русла, но и в величественном изобильном и полноводном тече­нии за его пределами. Ибо, как на то указал царь Давид, Речные потоки веселят град Божий, святое жилище Всевышнего (Пс 45:5).

The text then reads: Because this is what the Lord says: See, I myself turn to them like a river of peace and like a wadi overflowing the glory of nations. Again, in this verse, he adds the phrase glory of nations to the new Zion and new Jerusalem spoken of above, and he compares the peace that will be given to the nations with a rushing river. The text speaks of this river in other passages: “The river of God was filled with water,” and: “The river’s strong currents make glad the city of God.” And the text says that a deep peace will flow over the church of God like a river or a powerful stream, for their children shall be carried on shoulders and comforted on knees.
And these things were stated in the promises above, indicating that “foster fathers” would support those in the church who are still infants and are nourished with milk. These “foster fathers” are perhaps teachers or those who legitimately preside over the church of God or perhaps divine and heavenly angels. For our Savior clearly stated this when he said: “Do not despise one of these little ones” in my church, “for their angels always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.” Therefore, the mighty will lift up the weak on shoulders, and they shall comfort them on knees.
