Bible Commentaries

Genesis 6:17 — examples, that will not take them. Who pities the second captain, consumed by fire with his company, 2 Kings 1:11-12 since he had a fair warning, but would not beware by it? "Behold the day of the Lord cometh, that shall burn as an oven," Malachi 4:1 This last day was foretold by Enoch, Judges 1:14 before the deluge was by Noah. Longer it is before it comes, but shall be more terrible when it is come.

Genesis 6:9 — the heart is not upright, but increase wrath. It was an aggravation to Solomon’s sin, that God "had appeared unto him twice"; 1 Kings 11:9 and that he had been timely forewarned by his mother to beware of wine and women, Proverbs 31:3-4 both which he was afterwards, nevertheless, most inordinately addicted to. Ecclesiastes 2:1

Isaiah 9:6 — Porque un niño nos ha nacido, un hijo nos ha sido dado, y el gobierno estará sobre su hombro; y se llamará su nombre Admirable, Consejero, Dios fuerte, Padre eterno, Príncipe de paz. Ver. 6. Porque un niño nos nace. ] Ese niño del que se predijo. Isa 7:14 Cristo nacerá en el cumplimiento de los tiempos, tan seguro como si ya hubiera nacido. Se trataba de "buenas nuevas de gran gozo para todo el mundo". Lucas 2:10 El hebreo besher, para buenas nuevas, viene de bashar, para carne; porque, dicen algunos

Hosea 2:18 — poder sobre todas las naciones, Apocalipsis 2:26 , con la promesa de que todos trabajarán juntos para su bien. , Romanos 8:28 , y ellos serán totalmente liberadas, si no desde el inteligente, sin embargo, desde el dolor de toda criatura. Compare Eze 34:25 Job 5:23 Isaías 11:6,7 , donde el profeta parece aludir al transporte de las bestias en el arca de Noé, toda sangre y rapiña dejadas a un lado. Los judíos argumentan tontamente, a partir de estos textos, que Cristo aún no ha venido, porque el león

Hosea 6:3 — contentos con las medidas ya requeridas; sí, procederemos allí y progresaremos, como la luz de la mañana lo hace hasta el día perfecto. Aquellos que se aparten de sus iniquidades comprenderán la verdad de Dios, Daniel 9:13 , serán de su consejo, Salmo 25:14 , tendrán la mente de Cristo, 1 Corintios 2:16 , la sabiduría de Dios en un misterio, 1 Corintios 2:7 , tal como los grandes rabinos del mundo no pueden entender más de lo que los filisteos pudieron entender el acertijo de Sansón, 1 Corintios 2:8

Joel 3:2 — Jerusalén y el monte de los Olivos), a la vista misma de la Iglesia, para que el justo se regocije cuando vea la venganza, y se lave. sus pies en la sangre de los impíos. De modo que alguno dirá: Verdaderamente, hay recompensa para el justo, véase Joel 3:4 ; en verdad, es un Dios que juzga en la tierra, como en el valle del juicio divino (así algunos traducen aquí a Josafat, como si fuera un apelativo, Caldeo R. Salmon, Mercer), llamado Joel 3:14 , el valle de la decisión, y las palabras que siguen parecen

Haggai 2:3 — mundo podría llegar a su fin antes. Dios se apresura a que se cumpla el número de sus elegidos y, por lo tanto, despacha a las generaciones, acorta la vida por amor a sus elegidos, trae a casa a sus peregrinos, hace pocos sus días, aunque el mal, Gen 47: 9 los aleja del mal para ven, & c. , siendo la muerte para ellos aerumnarum el descanso de todas las fatigas, (como era el lema de Chaucer), sí, ianua vitae, porta coeli, la puerta de la vida, la puerta al cielo, el amanecer del resplandor eterno. ¿Y

Malachi 1:10 — con las cosas del templo? Y los que esperan en el altar" (aunque para encender fuego sobre él) "son partícipes del altar? Así también ha ordenado el Señor que los que predican el evangelio vivan por el evangelio ", 1 Corintios 9:18 ; 1 Corintios 9:14 ; deberían tener, si no diezmos, como tenían, pero estipendios honorarios, doble honor, 1 Timoteo 5:17 , duplex, id est, multiplex (Calvino), como Isa 40: 1-2Jeremias 17:18 . O, comparativamente, el doble al de las viudas, 1 Timoteo 5:3 , que sin

Matthew 5:7 — demás) extienden y ejercen la misericordia espiritual y corporal. El primero, que enseña al hombre a advertir a los rebeldes, a consolar a los débiles de mente, a apoyar a los débiles, a ser pacientes con todos los hombres, etc., 1 Tesalonicenses 5:14 . Los escolásticos así, Consule, castiga, solare, remitte, fer, ora, suelen sobresalir y sobrepasar a este último, que incita a un hombre a alimentar al hambriento, vestir al desnudo, visitar al enfermo, etc., Mateo 25:35,36 . " Visito, poto, cibo,

Acts 21:28 — … Contra sycophantae morsum non est remedium. They set their mouths against heaven, and their tongue walketh through the earth, Psalms 73:9 . But God will cut out such false tongues, Psalms 12:3 , and broil them upon coals of juniper, Psalms 120:4 .

2 Corinthians 4:18 — εις τους μαρτ . But the things which, … — The Latins call prosperous things res secundas, because they are to be had hereafter; they are not the first things, these are past, Revelation 21:4 .

1 Timothy 6:18 — good, Quoad fontem et quoad finem. As from the source until the end. Ready to distribute — A virtue much commended in the kings of Egypt (Diod. Sic. i.); practised by the Pythagoreans, Essenes, but especially by those primitive Christians, Acts 4:34-35 . See my Common Place of Alms, and to those many examples there set forth of Christian bounty, add that of Mr Fox, who never denied any that asked him aught for Jesus’ sake. And being once so asked by a poor man, he questioned him whether

2 Timothy 3:15 — απο βρεφους , from a suckling. As all children, so those especially that are dedicated to the work of the ministry, should be betimes inured to Scripture learning. See Trapp on " 1 Timothy 4:6 " The story of Mistress Elizabeth Wheatenhall, daughter of Mr Anthony Wheatenhall, of Tenterden in Kent, late deceased, is very memorable. She being brought up by her aunt, the Lady Wheatenhall, before she was nine years old (not much above eight),

Hebrews 12:16 — these particulars: 1. In that he was no sooner asked for the birthright but he yielded. 2. That he parted with it for a trifle, a little red, red, as he called it in his haste and hunger. 3. That he did this, being, as he thought, at point of death. 4. That he went his way when he had done, as if he had done no such thing, he showed no sign of remorse or regret. Hence he is four or five several times branded with, "This is Edom." This is he that had a low esteem of spiritual privileges,

James 4:6 — , who thought himself first wiser than Daniel, Ezekiel 28:3 ; then, that he exceeded the high priest in all his ornaments,Ezekiel 28:13; Ezekiel 28:13 ; then, he thought himself to be above Adam, Ezekiel 28:13 ; then above the cherubims, Ezekiel 28:14 ; and lastly, he said he was God himself, and sat in the seat of God. So the pope, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 . But giveth grace to the humble — Humility is both a grace, and a vessel to receive grace. God poureth the oil of his grace into broken vessels,

2 Peter 2:1 — sense wherein it is said that the gods of Damascus smote or plagued Ahaz,2 Chronicles 28:23; 2 Chronicles 28:23 , that is, in his opinion they did so: for an idol is nothing in the world, and can do neither good nor evil, Jeremiah 10:5 ; 1 Corinthians 8:4 . Or, that bought them, viz. in laying down a sufficient price for all sinners, in taking upon him the common nature of all men, and in preaching to them in the gospel that he died for sinners indefinitely, offering salvation, and beseeching them to

Revelation 1:4 — in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; From him which is — An august description of the Father by a manifest allusion to Exodus 3:14 . Some critic reading the words απο ο ων και ο ην as they lie in the original, would be apt to complain of an incongruity, and to say, Nove et duriter dictum. But God, methinks, should

Revelation 17:1 — three last vials especially. One of the seven — Probably the seventh. And talked with me — ελαλησε λαλια , familiarly as the Samaritess with her countrymen, John 4:42 , or as the master with his scholar. I will show unto thee — Thou shalt not only be an ear but an eye witness. " Segnius irritant animos demissa per aures, Quam quae sunt oculis commissa fidelibus. " Horat. The judgment — The

Revelation 20:12 — men shall rise again in that tall and goodly stature of body wherein Adam was created; or at least in that vigour of age that a perfect man is at about 33 years old, each in their proper sex. And hereunto some think, the apostle alludeth, Ephesians 4:13 . But Mr Brightman holds, that in the resurrection every one shall appear in that stature in which he departed out of this life, and that the contrary opinion doth manifestly contradict this Scripture. And the books were opened — The books

Revelation 22:6 — acted or imbreathed by the Holy Ghost,2 Peter 1:21; 2 Peter 1:21 . See Trapp on " 2 Peter 1:21 " Sent his angel — As Revelation 1:1 . The authority therefore of this book is unquestionable, whatever some have surmised from Revelation 20:4 , that it was the work of Cerinthus or some other millenary.
