1. The Rivers: Jordan and its driving back is doubtless especially intended. The Lord showed his power, in disturbing that ⟨p. 36⟩ancient River in his course, and making his streams run backward. The story of it you have Josh. 3. 15, 16. The people being to enter into Canaan, the Lord divides the waters of that River, making them beneath to sink away, and those above to stand on an heap. This the Prophet magnifies, Psa. 114. 5. What ailest thou O Jordan that thou wast driven back? what marvellous, powerful disturbing thing is happened to thee, that contrary to thy ancient natural course, thy streams should be frighted, and run back to the springs from whence they came?
