Secondly, They may have respect to the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, which Cities, though they were destroyed by fire, yet it was with a flood of fire. The Text saith expressly (Gen. 19.24.) Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven, and he overthrew the Cities & all the plain, &c. They were overflown with a flood of fire.
Secondly, They may have respect to the overthrow of Sodome and Gomorrah, which Cities, though they were destroyed by fire, yet it was with a flood of fire. The Text saith expresly (Gen. 19.24.) Then the Lord rayned upon Sodome and upon Gemorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven, and he overthrew the Cities & all the plaine, &c. They were overflowne with a flood of fire.
Thirdly,1 The allusion may be carried to the destruction of Pharaoh and the Egyptians in the red Sea; They also were overflown with a flood. The waters of the red Sea which stood up as a wall for Israel to pass through, at the Command of God returning upon the Egyptians, swallowed them up, them and their Chariots and their horses. The enemy said (thus Moses describes that fatal overthrow (Exod. 15.9, 10.) I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil: my lust shall be satisfied upon them, I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. Thus the enemy raged & foamed with revenge, like a tempestuous Sea, and had opened all the sluices of his will to overflow them. And when the enemy had thus breathed out his wrath in a four times repeated, I will; Then the Lord did blow with his wind, the Sea covered them, They sank as lead in the mighty waters. So then the words may relate to any of those three signal Judgements, to the drowning of the old world with a flood of water, to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah with a flood of fire, or to the overthrow of Pharaoh and his Egyptian host in the red Sea.
