He, in His Providence, disposeth the circumstances, of which the ambitious avail themselves. antichrist, whom the Jews look for, will be as much an instrument of God for the perfecting the elect, as the ChaldeesHabakkuk 1:6or the AssyriansAmos 6:14whom God raised up, for the chastisement of His former people, or the Medes against BabylonIsaiah 13:17. Which shall not visit them that be cut off -Zechariah uses the imagery, yet not the exact words of JeremiahJeremiah 23:1-2and EzekielEzekiel 34:3-4.
