Vers. 6. Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder and shaking, and a great noise, a whirlwind, and a tempest, and a flame of devouring fire.

Vers. 6. Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hostes with thunder and shaking, and a great noise, a whirlewinde, and a tempest, and a flame of deuouring fire.

HE adds the cause why all these multitudes of garrisons shall be like stubble, setting it forth by a contrary similitude. For he opposeth the wrath and visitation of the Lord of hosts against these soldiers: For alas, how will straw and stubble be able to resist the flame of a devouring fire? How shall dust be able to abide the force of the whirlwind? His meaning is then that the vengeance of God shall be so great, that no preparations shall be able to withstand it. And in this sense me thinks the text concurs well; the parts whereof would not answer proportionably one to another if we should follow another exposition. Now by this we learn, that our enemies which assail us shall never attempt more against us then the Lord shall permit. If he §1then be pleased to defend us, our adversaries can not hurt us, although they should stir up all the world against us. On the contrary, §2is he minded to correct us? We can resist his wrath neither by weapons nor any fortresses whatsoever, for he will sweep them away as with a whirlwind; yea, he will consume them like a devouring flame, that leaves nothing behind it.
