Details
of Israel's invasion in the last days: the scourge from
the north at Jerusalem
Chapter 28 sets before us
the first elements of these final scenes in the history
of this wonderful people. The scourge comes from the
north. Ephraim is invaded as by an overflowing torrent,
by a tempest of hail that smites and destroys; he is
trodden under foot. But in that day Jehovah shall be for
a crown of glory to the residue of His people. The people
morally besotted, do not hear. And this is the judicial
sentence of Jehovah who turns to Jerusalem in pronouncing
it. There they had made a covenant with death and the
powers of darkness, [
1]
that they might escape the overflowing torrent. But the
covenant shall be disannulled, the scourge shall overtake
them; they shall be trodden down, and smitten by this
terrible rod. We have then this revelation, that when
Ephraim shall be invaded by this terrible scourge, the
princes of Jerusalem will seek to preserve themselves
from it by making a covenant with the power of evil. But
it shall come to nought. The waters shall overflow and
sweep away the refuge of lies. Jerusalem, as well as
Ephraim, undergoes the consequences of the assault of the
enemy. But the Messiah is the elect corner-stone, the
sure foundation for the remnant; he that believes in Him
shall not be confounded. Thus Ephraim is invaded and
Jerusalem taken. There is a consumption determined [
2] by Jehovah upon the whole earth.
[1] They insolently
say they have made a covenant with the power of evil, so
that, when the scourge came, it would not come nigh them.
Impossible to conceive a more open defiance of God and
His judgments. Historically they will have done it in
uniting with the man of sin, the Antichrist, whose coming
is after the power of Satan; but here it is said in
defiance of God.
[2] This expression is used elsewhere
also, as in Daniel, as a kind of technical formula for
the Lord's dealings in the last day—the finishing of
the work and cutting it short in righteousness. He judges
completely, fills it up, but cuts it short for the
sparing of the remnant, the elect.
