Vers. 19. So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the West, and his glory from the rising of the Sun: for the enemy shall come as a flood, but the spirit of the Lord shall chase him away.

1Now he testifies that this deliverance shall be so glorious and magnificent, that all the world shall wonder thereat, and shall speak honourably of it: and afterwards, being smitten with astonishment, shall give glory unto God. But it is uncertain whether he means this of the conversion of the Gentiles, or of the terror by which the Lord would bring down his enemies. For mine own part, I rather incline to the first exposition, namely, that to the utmost parts of the earth, Gods name shall be glorious and fully renowned: so as the Gentiles shall not only be amazed, but shall also worship and serve him in true repentance.
