Psalms 147:15

“He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth, etc.] Which Kimchi interprets of rain, which causes the wheat to grow; since afterwards mention is made of snow, and of hoar frost and ice. Aben Ezra understands it of the decree of God, which he executes on earth. The Targum, of the “Memra”, or Word of the Lord; the essential Word, the Messiah; whom the Lord sent on earth to perform the great work of redemption and salvation; and who came speedily, and tarried not when the fulness of time was come, as follows. It may design God’s word of providence, which answers to his word of power in the first creation of all things; and which orders everything done in the earth, and is instantly obeyed; which…”

“God's Word, as a swift messenger, executes His purpose, for with Him to command is to perform (Gen 1:3; Psa 33:9), and He brings about the wonders of providence as easily as men cast crumbs.”

“He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth - That is, with reference to the productions of the earth; to the changes which occur; to the seasons; to snow, frost, ice, cold, heat, wind; and he is universally and immediately obeyed. Nature everywhere yields a ready acquiescence to his will. His word runneth very swiftly - As if it hastened to obey him. There is no delay. Compare the notes at Psalms 33:9 : “He spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.” Snow, and frost, and ice, and cold, and heat, and wind, are entirely obedient to him. There is no reluctance in obeying him; there is no delay. return to 'Top of Page'”
