the name of Jehovah the God of Israel 16 From the wing of this land we have heard songs glory to the righteous but I said my leannesse my leannesse wo unto me the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously yea the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously 17 FEAR and the PIT and she SNARE upon thee O inhabitants of that land 18 And it shal come to passe he that flies from the noyse of the FEAR shall fall into the PIT and he that ascends out of the middest of the PIT shall be taken in the SNARE for the windows from the MOST HIGH are opened and the foundations of the land do shake 19 The land is sore bruised the land is utterly broken the land is quite displaced 20 The land shal reel to and fro like a drunkard and shall be removed like a cottage for the transgression thereof shal be heavy upon it and it shall fall and never rise any more 21 And it shal come to passe in that very day Jehovah will punish the Militia of that HIGH ONE with that HIGH ONE and the Kings of the earth upon the earth 22 And they shall be gathered together with a gathering a prisoner for the dungeon and very many dayes shal they be punished 23 Then the Moon shall be confounded and the Sun ashamed for the LORD OF HOSTS shal reign in mount Zyon and in Jerusalem and before his Ancients gloriously THis Chapter and the three subsequent Chapters are exactly calcualted for this very Age wherein we live as in the ensuing Discourse will more fully appear But this 24 chapter doth in a speciall manner contain the sad and inex●●icable calamities that will befall the unbeleeving world towards the end of their worldly governments a little before the glorious coming of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus which in the later end of the fourth Monarchy will be slighted and yet dreaded insomuch that men will be troubled to hear of it as sometime Herod was and the carnal Church also when it was reported that this King Jesus was born Mat. 2. 3. But let men of earthly spirits who mind more the Mammon of this world and the dignities thereof then the coming of Christs kingdom which he taught his disciples to pray for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Mat. 6. 10 I say let them deem as they please and make a scoff at it as Peter tells us they will 2 Pet. 3. 3. in the later end of dayss saying Where is the promise of his coming which is spoken of this very age wherin we live yet let such know that for all this God will bring them to judgement Eccles 11. 9. And the day of Christs coming which now they slight wil be to them as a thief in the night 2 Thess 5. 2. And these mockers of what rank soever shal cry to the mountains and to the rocks to fall upon them and cover them from the wrath of the Lamb and him that sits upon the Throne whom now they persecute in his poore members Rev. 6. from v. 12. to the end of the chapter Therefore be wise O ye Kings be instructed O yee Judges of the earth serve the Lord with fear and rejoyce with trembling Kiss the Son lest he be angry and ye perish from the way when his wrath is kindled but a little Now ere I come to the words of the explication of this Prophesie let me premise these three things to be considered 1. That there is no prediction of judgement nor promise of mercy in Scripture but it relates to some particular thing person nation or time or else generally to all things persons nations and times under the same or the like condition 2. That whatsoever is particularly applied to some particular thing person nation or time may be applied Analogically and by way of proportion unto any other things persons nations and times upon the same or the like terms 3. That particular judgements threatned in case of repentance may be obviated and prevented in whole or in part and so also mercies in case of apostasie and backsliding These things premised I shall briefly come to a particular disquisition of this Prophesie which nameth no particular person nation or time and explicate as I go along what is most obstruce without just offence to any submitting what I shall hold forth to the judgement of those who are able to judge of spirituall things and willing to weigh all things in the ballance of the Sanctuary In this Prophesie of Isaiah as in other of the Prophets you may observe particular Prophesies against particular countries As against Babylon in the 13 14. 21. and 47. chapters Against Moab in the 15 and 16. chapters against Damascus in the 17. chapter against Ethiopia in the 18 chapter against Egypt in the 19 chapter and against both of them in the 20 chapter against Edom and Arabia in the 21 chapter against Ephraim in the 28 chap. against Judah Jerusalem in the 29 30 31 chapters against the Idols of Babell chapter 46. All which may be applyed by way of proportion against any other Idols Persons Nations and Places in any other age upon the same or the like termes This 24 chapter is a Prophesie against a particular Land or Nation as hereafter will more clearly appeare but giveth no name to it And probably it may be thought that the Land whereof he speaks was not at that time peopled nor subjected to Government and therefore not named If any should suppose it to relate to Tyrus of which mention is made in the chapter foregoing I conceive it cannot be so for these Reasons 1. The Prophet in the close of the foregoing chapter foretells the restauration and flourishing state of Tyrus after her visitation and therefore what he speaks of this Land cannot well be understood of Tyre 2ly The Land here spoken of is an Island or Islands environed with Sea as appeares from the 14 and 15 verses whereas Tyrus is an haven town upon the main Continent 3ly The judgement denounced against Tyrus was long since executed whereas the judgements here threatned to befall this Land shall be in the latter dayes not long before the Conversion of the Jewes and the coming of the glorious Kingdome of our Lord Jesus wherefore I take it to be a Prophesie of or concerning some particular Land or Islands in these latter times But ere I come to a particular examination of the words in their order I shall give you this brief Analysis of the Prophets method in this chapter First he shews the various changes and alterations of Government in that Land in the soure first verses 2ly The ground and cause thereof to wit their hypocrisie and apostacie in the 5 verse 3ly The sad consequents both of their sin and of those alterations from the 5 verse to the end of the 12. 4ly Gods reservation of a remnant which shall glorifie him in those Islands ver 13 14 15 and part of the 16.
