Doct. 5. The way of the Lord, when he cometh to judgement, shall be with swiftness, majesty and terror.
Doct. 5. The way of the Lord, when he commeth to judgement, shall be with swiftnesse, majesty and terrour.
This is gathered from verse 10.
First, it shall be sudden, because the hour and day thereof is not revealed, and because the most part of men expect no such thing. And it shall be full of majesty and terror, because it is the coming of the Lord not in humility, as his first coming was, but in glory.
