Notes.
| "The scripture often
speaks of things at a great distance of time, as if they were now at
hand; to make us sensible of the inconsiderableness of time, and all
temporal things, in comparison of God, and eternal things; upon which
account it is said, that a thousand years are in God's sight but as one
day." |

with water by Jehovah; but the "new" deliverance shall be
attended with manifestations of God's power and love, eclipsing the old
(compare Isa
41:17-19)." |

| "The call for
Israel not to remember the former things is a call to Israel not to dwell
on the past as past, i.e. not to think of it as a past act
or possibly not to lament over it as a past that is no longer present. The
‘new thing’ that Yahweh does is in fact the ‘old thing’ in a new time and
place." |
