Commentary
Translate, "I will be to you in the relation of a Father, and ye shall be to me in the relation of sons and daughters." This is a still more endearing relation than (Co2 6:16), "I will be their God, and they . . . My people." Compare the promise to Solomon (Ch1 28:6; Isa 43:6; Rev 21:3, Rev 21:7; Jer 31:1, Jer 31:9). Lord Almighty--The Lord the Universal Ruler: nowhere else found but in Revelation. The greatness of the Promiser enhances the greatness of the promises. Next: 2 Corinthians Chapter 7
