God can scare not only a family, or this and that particular man, but a whole people at once; he cannot only make a child, or a woman, but a multitude, yea an Army of mighty men tremble like a child, and faint as the weakest woman. A people are many, yet every man shall be as if he were alone, or but one in the midst of innumerable dangers, and of a thousand deaths. Moses in his Song foresaw the dread of Nations upon the report of the Lord's miraculous conduct of Israel through the red Sea, (Exod. 15.14, 15, 16.) The people shall hear, and be afraid; sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestine, all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. And when Christ speaks of those dreadful Prognostics of his coming, he not only saith, There shall be signs in the Sun, and in the Moon, and in the Stars, but upon the Earth distress of Nations, with perplexity, (Luke 21.25.)
