EZEK. 7.7. —The day of Trouble is near—
1. From the Causes of it. The principal Efficient Cause was God, He is the Cause of all evils of Punishment: There is no evil in the City, and the Lord hath not done it; He createth darkness. The Instrumental adjuvant Cause was the Chaldeans, they did help forward the affliction, and are therefore said to be the worst of men, yea the worst of the Heathen. The Impulsive Procuring Cause was Sin: there are three sins mentioned in this Chapter (of which afterwards) as the Procurers of the Judgement threatened. The Final Cause was the Glory of God, even that he might be known to be the Lord.
