Verses 1-13
These events will be in the latter days. It is supposed these enemies will come
together to invade the land of Judea, and God will defeat them. God not only
sees who are now the enemies of his church, but he foresees who will be so, and
lets them know by his word that he is against them; though they join together,
the wicked shall not be unpunished.
Verses 14-23
The enemy should make a formidable descent upon the land of Israel. When Israel
dwell safely under the Divine protection, shalt not thou be made to know it by
finding that endeavours to destroy them are made in vain? Promises of security
are treasured up in the word of God, against the troubles and dangers the church
may be brought into in the latter days. In the destruction of sinners, God makes
it appear that he is a great and holy God. We should desire and pray daily.
Father, glorify thine own name.
