Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done,.... 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",
Rev 18:8
and this shall be heard of far and near, who shall applaud the mighty work, and give God the glory of it,
Rev 19:1
,
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",
Rev 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,
Rev 18:9
but others will.
