Genesis 15:14

Gen 15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

Ver. 14. Afterward shall they come out, &c. ] All the saints’ abasements are but in order to their advancement. As God brought forth his Israel with jewels, and other wealth; so the "afflicted" Church, and "tossed with tempest," shall build her walls and "lay her foundations with sapphires and agates". Isa 54:11-12 See Isaiah 62:3-4 .
