Then shall they know that I am the Lord
An omniscient Being, that could foresee and foretell what would
come to pass; and omnipotent, able to do whatever he pleased, and
true and faithful to his word; and a sovereign Lord, whose will
cannot be resisted; this they should see, own, and acknowledge:
when I have laid the land most desolate, because of all
their
abominations which they have committed:
for though he is a sovereign Lord, yet he does not execute his
judgments in an arbitrary way, merely cause it is his will, but
because of the abominable sins committed by men, which provoke
the eyes of his glory.
