Dictionary of Biblical Words
:
An expression taken from
Matt. 23:18
18
And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. (Matthew 23:18)
, where
the
Lord
’s presence is promised to two or
three
gathered to His
name
. The small
number
doubtless refers to
times
when no more than
this
can
be found thus to assemble together; to such this promise is very precious, giving as it does to those thus assembled
all
the
power
of the
assembly
(1 Con, 5.). The
name
spoken of doubtless refers to Matt. 16, when
Jesus
expressly takes the name of
Christ
no longer as the Jewish
Messiah
, but as the foundation of the
church
He was
about
to build, and which is referred to in chap. 18.
