9. See on
Eze 5:7.
that which I have not done--worse than any former judgments
(La 4:6;
Da 9:12).
The prophecy includes the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, and
the final one by Antichrist
(Zec 13:8, 9; 14:2),
as well as that by Nebuchadnezzar. Their doom of evil was not exhausted
by the Chaldean conquest. There was to be a germinating evil in their
destiny, because there would be, as the Lord foresaw, a germinating
evil in their character. As God connected Himself peculiarly with
Israel, so there was to be a peculiar manifestation of God's wrath
against sin in their case [FAIRBAIRN]. The higher
the privileges the greater the punishment in the case of abuse of them.
When God's greatest favor, the gospel, was given, and was abused by
them, then "the wrath was to come on them to the uttermost"
(1Th 2:16).
