Psalms87:6
1. The time referred to. "When he writeth up", &c.; when all the true Israel is saved.
2. The account to be taken: "When he writeth up", &c., i.e. revises and reenters the names in the Lamb's Book of Life. Compares the called with the chosen.
3. The test to be applied.
(a) Their being in Zion, or having the means of grace.
(b) Their being born there.
4. The completion of their number: "The Lord shall count." An exact number of stones in a perfect building and of members in a perfect body. So in Christ's Church. All make one bride.
5. The notice taken of each one: "This man was born there." Men fell as a whole; they are saved individually. —G.R.
