As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, &c.] So Edom rejoiced at the destruction of Jerusalem, (Obadiah 1:12), and so the followers of the man of sin will rejoice at the slaying of the witnesses, (<661110>Revelation 11:10), which is resented by the Lord, and therefore adds, so will I do unto thee; make thee desolate, as is explained in the next clause: thou shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it; not that mount only, but all the land of Edom, called Idumea; the destruction shall be general, as it was, and irretrievable; and so not Rome only, but all the antichristian states, will be destroyed, when God comes forth in his wrath against them: and they shall know that I am the Lord; the Lord God omniscient and omnipotent; who, having foretold all this, shall accomplish it.
