Bible Note: Dear Doc, Thank you for your time spent for helping me out. I have also read John Calvin's commentary. Though I find his a strong argument, I still have trouble in understanding as per below:- If the verse renders the meaning as a weak woman stands for the Israelite under captive and the mighty man the "Babylon", and being regarded as a sort of revolution, this I would agree with John Calvin's notion saying it a wonderful thing. But I don't see it a new thing created. Then how should I rightly understand the phrase "the Lord HAS CREATED a NEW THING..." ? Please let me know if I did not make my question clear. Again, thanks for your patience. Shalom Azure |
