Having dispatched the Prophet to tell Hezekiah, that he shall die, and not live, He presently after, even before he was got out of the Court, sends the same Prophet back to tell him that he shall live and not die. We have the same difficulty in that known place in the Prophecy of Jonah (Chap. 3.4.) Jonah is sent to Nineveh with a direct message; Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown. Notwithstanding as soon as the fast was proclaimed and kept, and the Ninevites had repented and turned from their evil ways, The Lord also repented of the evil denounced against them; (ver. 10.) And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way, and God repented of the evil that he had said, that he would do unto them, and he did it not. Here God repented of his threatening. He had said Nineveh should be over-thrown, yet when they turned from what they had done, God turned from what he said he would ⟨p. 426⟩do. And did he not change his mind, in reference to his promise to Zion, as there in reference to his threatening against Nineveh? The promise to Zion runs in this tenor; This is my rest for ever; here will I dwell, for I have desired it (Psal. 132 14.) Yet the Lord removed out of Zion, he departed from Jerusalem, and gave it into the enemies hands. How many miseries, and captivities did that people undergo, long ago? and how are they scattered from Jerusalem into all Lands unto this very day? How then shall we reconcile the Text, and point in hand, with these quoted Scriptures, and many others of a like interpretation?
