Concise Complete
Judgments upon Egypt. (1-17) Its deliverance, and the
conversion of the people. (18-25)
Verses 1-17 God
shall come into Egypt with his judgments. He will raise up the causes of their
destruction from among themselves. When ungodly men escape danger, they are apt
to think themselves secure; but evil pursues sinners, and will speedily overtake
them, except they repent. The Egyptians will be given over into the hand of one
who shall rule them with rigour, as was shortly after fulfilled. The Egyptians
were renowned for wisdom and science; yet the Lord would give them up to their
own perverse schemes, and to quarrel, till their land would be brought by their
contests to become an object of contempt and pity. He renders sinners afraid of
those whom they have despised and oppressed; and the Lord of hosts will make the
workers of iniquity a terror to themselves, and to each other; and every object
around a terror to them.
Verses 18-25 The
words, "In that day," do not always refer to the passage just before. At a time
which was to come, the Egyptians shall speak the holy language, the Scripture
language; not only understand it, but use it. Converting grace, by changing the
heart, changes the language; for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaks. So many Jews shall come to Egypt, that they shall soon fill five cities.
Where the sun was worshipped, a place infamous for idolatry, even there shall be
a wonderful reformation. Christ, the great Altar, who sanctifies every gift,
shall be owned, and the gospel sacrifices of prayer and praise shall be offered
up. Let the broken-hearted and afflicted, whom the Lord has wounded, and thus
taught to return to, and call upon him, take courage; for He will heal their
souls, and turn their sorrowing supplications into joyful praises. The Gentile
nations shall not only unite with each other in the gospel fold under Christ,
the great Shepherd, but they shall all be united with the Jews. They shall be
owned together by him; they shall all share in one and the same blessing.
Meeting at the same throne of grace, and serving with each other in the same
business of religion, should end all disputes, and unite the hearts of believers
to each other in holy love.
