Isaiah 24

15. We glorify God in a high manner when we suffer for God, and seal the Gospel with our blood (John 21:18-19): When you shall be old, another shall gird you and carry you where you would not: This he spoke, signifying by what death he should glorify God. God's glory shines in t…

But 1. the footstool for the soles of Christ's feet (Isaiah 66:1; Matthew 5:35). 2. A footstool of clay far from the throne of glory, the office house of sin (Isaiah 24:5). The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof (chapter 26:21).
