Hear, ye [that are] far off, what I have done, &c.] Not meaning the destruction of the Assyrian, as it is commonly interpreted; but the ruin of antichrist, the beast, and false prophet, and the burning of the city and whore of Rome; for, whoever will be the instruments, the work is the Lord’s, and therefore it will be done: “she shall be utterly burnt with fire, for strong is the Lord who judgeth her”, (<661808>Revelation 18:8) and this shall be heard of far and near, who shall applaud the mighty work, and give God the glory of it, (<661901>Revelation 19:1,2): and, ye [that are] near, acknowledge my might; even his omnipotence, which will be seen, observed, and owned by multitudes, who will say, “Allelujah, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth”, (<661906>Revelation 19:6) there will be some that will be nigh, that shall stand afar off, lamenting her case, and will not own the hand of God in it, (<661809>Revelation 18:9,10,15) but others will.
