Zechariah8:20
20 Thus saith the LORD of hosts , It shall yet come to pass , that there shall come people , and inhabitants of many cities.
This solemn attestation, that 'tis the Lord of Hosts who will do that great thing next promis'd, calls both for our heeding, and believing of it.
How low soever the State of my Church doth appear, and really is, yet a time shall come when it shall be more considerable.
People, that is, multitudes of People, for they shall be
Inhabitants of many and great Cities, which is added to explain what was more obscure in that one word, People, The Gentiles shall be added to the Church, and increase her greatly.
