Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:31
The image of God bearing Israel 'as a man doth bear his son' reveals divine paternal care and sovereign providence. The Hebrew 'nasa' (carried/bore) conveys sustained support through trial. This metaphor anticipates the New Covenant reality where believers are adopted as sons (Galatians 4:5-7). God's fatherhood is not merely benevolent but covenantal—He commits to preserve His people through the wilderness until reaching the promised inheritance. This demonstrates the Reformed doctrine of perseverance of the saints.
