Hell and destruction are never full
The grave, as the word used often signifies; and which may be
called "destruction", because bodies laid in it are soon
corrupted and destroyed; and though bodies are cast into it and
devoured by it, it is ready for more; it is one of the four
things which never have enough. The place where Gog is said to be
buried is called Hamongog, the multitude of Gog, ( Ezekiel
39:11 ) ; and by the Septuagint there Polyandrion, which is
the name the Greeks give to a burying place, because many men are
buried there; and with the Latins the dead are called Plures
F15, the many, or the more; and yet the
grave is never satisfied with them, ( Proverbs
30:16 ) . Or hell, the place of everlasting damnation and
destruction, is meant, which has received multitudes of souls
already, and where there is room for more, nor will it be full
until the last day; so the eyes of man are never
satisfied;
as not the eyes of his body with seeing corporeal objects, but
still are desirous of seeing more, and indeed everything that is
to be seen, and are never glutted, ( Ecclesiastes
1:8 ) ; so neither the eyes of the carnal mind, or the lusts
of it, which are insatiable things, let the objects of them be
what they will; as in an ambitious man, a covetous person, or an
unclean one.
