Psalms 89:42

“Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries, etc.] Suffered them to become powerful, and to prevail against him; as the wicked Jews, and Satan, and his principalities and powers, at the time of Christ’s apprehension, crucifixion, and death; for then were their hour, and the power of darkness, (<422253>Luke 22:53), death also had dominion over him, and held him under the power of it for awhile: the enemies of his interest, Rome Pagan, and Rome Papal, have, in their turns, had their right hands set up, and have had power, and prevailed over it; and the latter will again, at the slaying of the witnesses: all which, though it seems contrary to (<198921>Psalm 89:21-25,27), yet is not; for…”

“Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries - Hast given them the victory. Thou hast suffered them to accomplish their purposes. Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice - They joy or rejoice in the success of their plans; in their triumphs over thy servant and over his people. return to 'Top of Page'”
