“Death and Hell”

Brant Gardner

Jacob returns to the imagery of the monster, of death and hell. These allusions link to his earlier comments on the nature of the atonement (see verses 8 and 10). Thus Jacob very clearly links the mercy of God to the Atonement for Sin, for it is this aspect of the atonement that supplies the deliverance from the "devil... hell, and that lake..."
