Isaiah52:12
12. not ... with haste--as when ye left Egypt (Ex 12:33, 39; De 16:3; compare Note, see on Is 28:16). Ye shall have time to cleanse yourselves and make deliberate preparation for departure.
Lord--Jehovah, as your Leader in front (Is 40:3; Ex 23:20; Mi 2:13).
rereward--literally, "gather up," that is, to bring up the rear of your host. The transition is frequent from the glory of Messiah in His advent to reign, to His humiliation in His advent to suffer. Indeed, so are both advents accounted one, that He is not said, in His second coming, to be about to return, but to come.
