shall fall

"This is an allusion to the Jewish mode of stoning. ""The place of stoning was twice as high as a man. From the top of this one of the witnesses struck the culprit on the loins, and felled him to the ground: if he died of this, well; if not, the other witness threw a stone upon his heart,"" etc. Our LORD seems to refer not only to the dreadful crushing of the Jews by the Romans, but also to their general dispersion to the present day. Isa 8:14,15; Dan 2:34,35,44,45; Zec 12:3; Mat 21:34; 1Th 2:16" |
