For behold (saith the Prophet) the Lord will come out of his place to visit the iniquity of the Inhabitants of the earth upon them, and the earth shall disclose her blood and shall no more hide her slain; because that the final end of the troubles of Gods Chosen shall not be before that the Lord Jesus shall return to restore all things to their full perfection.
For behold (saith the Prophet) the Lord will come out of his place to visit the iniquitie of the Inhabitants of the earth upon them, and the earth shall disclose her blood and shall no more hide her slain; because that the finall end of the troubles of Gods Chosen shall not be before that the Lord Iesus shall return to restore all things to their full perfection.
The Prophet bringeth forth the Eternal God, as it were from his own place and habitation, and therewith showeth the cause of his coming, to be, That he might take account of all such as have wrought wickedly; for that he meaneth, where he saith, He will visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth upon them. And lest that any should think, That the wrong doers are so many that they cannot be called to an account, he giveth unto the earth (as it were) an Office and charge to bear witness against all those that have wrought wickedly, and chiefly against those that have shed innocent blood from the beginning; and saith, That the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more hide her slain men.
