Who has ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is HIS name, and what is his SON'S name, if you can tell?
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
30:4," there is a prophetic notice of Him who came down from heaven to be our Instructor and Saviour, and then ascended into heaven to be our Advocate. The Messiah is here spoken of as a Person distinct from the Father, but HIS name as yet secret. The great Redeemer, in the glories of HIS providence and grace, cannot be found out to perfection. Had it not been for Christ, the foundations of the earth had sunk under the load of the curse upon the ground, for man's sin. Who, and what is the MIGHTY One that doeth all this? There is not the least ground to suspect anything wanting in the word of God; adding to his words opens the way to errors and corruptions."
I simply love this particular scripture because when I read it, I can think of only one Person....Jesus, the Messiah....the One and Only Son of God.....born in the flesh, lived among man, died on the cross to redeem us back to the Father, rose from the dead, ascended into heaven and sent The Holy Spirit to come live inside all who BELIEVE in HIM!
What more need we know? The Holy Spirit will teach us all things: if any lacks wisdom-ask God!
