COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
5. I . . . come near . . . to judgment — I whom ye challenged, saying, "Where is the God of judgment?" ( :- ). I whom ye think far off, and to be slow in judgment, am "near," and will come as a "swift witness"; not only a judge, but also an eye- witness against sorcerers; for Mine eyes see every sin, though ye think I take no heed. Earthly judges need witnesses to enable them to decide aright: I alone need none ( Psalms 10:11 ; Psalms 73:11 ; Psalms 94:7 , c.). sorcerers —a sin into which the Jews were led in connection with their foreign idolatrous wives. The Jews of Christ's time also practised sorcery ( Acts 8:9 Acts 13:6 ; Galatians 5:20 ; JOSEPHUS [ Antiquities, 20.6; Wars of the Jews, 2.12.23]). It shall be a characteristic of the last Antichristian confederacy, about to be consumed by the brightness of Christ's Coming ( Matthew 24:24 ; 2 Thessalonians 2:9 ; Revelation 13:13 ; Revelation 13:14 ; Revelation 16:13 ; Revelation 16:14 ; also Revelation 9:21 ; Revelation 18:23 ; Revelation 21:8 ; Revelation 22:15 ). Romanism has practised it; an order of exorcists exists in that Church. adulterers — ( Malachi 2:15 ; Malachi 2:16 ). fear not me —the source of all sins. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
