Isaiah 14:32 - Homilies By R. Tuck

Zion a safety for the poor.

Take Zion as a type of Christ's Church in all the ages. It should be a shelter for the poor in the following five senses which may be attached to the word.

I. In the sense of the ignorant .

II. In the sense of the meek .

III. In the sense of the yoking .

IV. In the sense of the persecuted .

V. In the sense of the doubting .

Every age is, in one form or another, a troublous age for all earnest souls. The Church is ever the abiding earth-shelter, type and suggestion of that soul-rest in God which the poor—in every sense—may always find.—R.T.
