AN ENSIGN ON AN HILL

 

"...till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as AN ENSIGN ON AN HILL." (Isaiah 30:17 KJV)

 

This verse describes the bride of Christ in the coming Kingdom Age. Normally, an ensign is an emblem or banner, lifted up on a pole, signifying national or tribal identity. God's glorified saints, reigning from mount Zion, will be His emblem, His raised banner, declaring His dominion throughout the earth.
