The Son of His Love, Agur's Challenge (Proverbs 30:4): Appendix B (30:4)


PRO 30:4

He it is Who met, and more than met, the challenge of Agur (Prov. 30:4), speaking prophetically to Ithiel and Ucal, “Who hath ascended up into the heavens, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in His fists? Who hath bound the waters in a mantle? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name?-if thou knowest."

It is God, not man, Who can take up this challenge; but it is God become man-yea, the Son of man. For “no one has gone up into heaven save He Who came down out of heaven, the Son of man Who is in heaven." See also Eph. 4:8-10.
