Philip Schaff

“ The ascent of the Lord—the raising up of man, who is taken from earth to heaven. In the Psalm: “Who ascendeth above the heaven of heavens to the east.” [30]
The standing of the Lord—the patience of the Deity, by which He bears with sinners that they may come to repentance. ”

“ As in Micah: “Behold, the Lord shall come forth from His place; He shall come down trampling under foot the ends of the earth.” [28] Likewise in a bad sense. In Genesis: “The Lord came down to see the tower.” ”
