1The Prophets meaning is, that this work should be so excellent, that all nations should extol and magnify Gods name therein; yet was it not forthwith accomplished. For albeit the fame of this victory was spread far and near, yet few perceived that the God of Israel was the author of it. But after it was manifested to those that dwelt near, it was divulged also to others, till at last the news thereof came to the whole world. Neither doth he foretell what should by and by fall out; but that which was afterwards to be accomplished, notwithstanding these things were a long time concealed. The Lord then would not suffer the remembrance of such a deliverance to vanish, but would have the same to be called to mind by continual admonitions, to the end the nations furthest remote, might celebrate the memory of this deliverance from generation to generation, even to the worlds end.
