the finger: Exodus 8:19, Matthew 12:28
the kingdom: For the destruction of the kingdom of Satan plainly implies the setting up of the kingdom of God. The reasoning of the Pharisees - Luke 11:17, and Matthew 12:24, Matthew 12:25, was not expressed, and Jesus knowing their thoughts, gave ample proof of his omniscience. This, with our Lord's masterly confutation of their reasonings, by a conclusion drawn from their own premises, one would have supposed might have humbled and convinced those men; but the most conclusive reasoning, and the most astonishing miracles, were lost upon a people who were obstinately determined to disbelieve every thing that was good relative to Jesus of Nazareth. Luke 10:9, Luke 10:11, Daniel 2:44, Acts 20:25, Acts 28:23-28, 2 Thessalonians 1:5
Reciprocal: Exodus 31:18 - the finger Deuteronomy 9:10 - written with Psalms 8:3 - work Zechariah 13:2 - unclean Acts 2:22 - which 1 Corinthians 1:22 - the Jews Philippians 3:8 - doubtless Revelation 20:2 - he laid
Gill's Notes on the Bible
But if I with the, finger of God,.... The power of God, referring to Exodus 8:19 and so the Cabalistic Jews r explain it,
"the finger is one of the five in the hand, and is that finger which works by the power of Elohim;''
it is the same with the Spirit of God; Exodus 8:19- : which is often called the hand of the Lord, Ezekiel 1:3.
