And “an hiding place from the wind” is likewise a most expressive figure for Christ and his brethren. Winds of false doctrine drive about clouds of unstable people (Eph. 4:14; Jude 12), and destroying winds of war and commotion desolate the earth, and are specially to desolate His land at last (Dan. 7:2; Jer. 4:12; Rev. 7:1; Ezek, 38:9). And, if we come down from the greater to the less, literal wind and wave are subject to his omnipotent control in that day, much more than in the days of his flesh. In every way Christ, personal and multitudinous, is a hiding-place from the wind. No papal bulls, decrees of anti-Christian councils, or edicts of fanatical Kings, Sheiks, Mullahs, or potentates of any kind will be permitted to afflict mankind any more for 1,000 years; and after “the war of the great day of God Almighty,” the storms of battle will be silenced for the age. Truly “the perfect man” will be in the earth, and especially in the Holy Land and City, “as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest.” Robert Roberts, & Walker, C. C. (1907). The Ministry of the Prophets: Isaiah (478).
