1. Some take it for such a folding up of a large broad vesture as bringeth it into a very small compass, and maketh it appear very little in comparison of that which it seemed to be before. So the heavens which are now spread over the whole world, shall be brought to little or nothing; It is said that The Heavens shall be rolled together as a Scroll, Isa. 34. 4. A Scroll was a fair piece of paper or parchment, or rather many pieces stitched and pasted one to another, wherein such things as use now to be printed, were written, and then rolled up, as Inventories of wills are; and being rolled up they were compacted in a small volume; and nothing therein written could be discerned; Mention is made of such scrolls or rolls, Ezra 6. 1, 2. Isa. 8. 1. Jer. 36. 2. Ezek. 2. 9. 2. Others take the word for turning a thing; as when a garment is some while worn on the one side, the other side is turned; To this they apply these words, We look for new Heavens, and a new earth, 2 Pet. 3. 13. New, not in the substance, but in the quality thereof, more glorious then before.
