WORDS OF CURRENT INTEREST

[The words in this issue are related to the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly designated to be read in Christian Science churches on July 25, 1965.]

Salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks (Isa. 26:1)

The Hebrew word yeshu'ah (salvation) is of deep and varied significance, including such concepts as welfare, safety, prosperity, deliverance, and victory. In many passages using the word, stress is laid on "salvation by God, primarily from external evils, but often with added spiritual idea," as Brown, Driver, and Briggs express it in their Hebrew Lexicon. Moffatt renders the present passage, "Ours is a strong, sure city, safe with walls and ramparts set by Him"; while Smith suggests, "A strong city is ours; for safety he sets up walls and bulwarks."

I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all These things (Zech. 8:12)
