Psalms 115:14 - Exposition

The Lord shall increase you more and more . This was the original blessing bestowed on Abraham ( Genesis 13:16 ; Genesis 17:4-6 ), and continually reiterated ( Genesis 18:18 ; Genesis 22:17 ; Genesis 28:14 , etc.). It is much dwelt upon by Isaiah ( Isaiah 49:8-12 , Isaiah 49:18-23 ; Isaiah 54:1-3 ; Isaiah 60:3-12 , etc.). The main fulfillment of the promise was through the conversion of the Gentiles, who, when converted, became the true "Israel of God." But, even apart from this, the lineal descendants of Abraham have "increased more and more," to an extent which is most extraordinary. You and your children . You yourselves shall increase; but your children shall yet more increase. The multiplying would begin at once, but would be greater and more striking afterwards.
