Homilist Ezekiel 21:27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him. I. THEY HAVE A SAD SUCCESSIVENESS. They do not run out and expend themselves; but one makes place for another. All mutations in schools, markets, churches, kingdoms, only pass away as waves on the shore, to be succeeded by other advancing billows. There is nothing settled. II. THEY TRANSPIRE BY DIVINE ARRANGEMENT. There must be perpetual fermentation where evil is. How does God effect these changes? — 1. By the revelation of right and truth to human consciousness. 2. By the procedure of His providence. III. THEY WILL ONLY BE TERMINATED BY THE ADVENT OF THE RIGHTFUL KING. The world is Christ's. He has a right to rule. So truthful, benevolent, and just will be His sway that all opposition will be subdued. (Homilist.) Parallel Verses KJV: I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him. |
