"Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
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.
