* And it.
   There is a peculiar grandeur, as well as propriety, in this
   method of predicting Nebuchadnezzar's rapid successes.  The
   God of Israel, declaring himself to be the Lord of armies, and
   the Creator and Owner of the whole earth, with all its
   inhabitants and productions, and claiming full sovereignty
   over his creatures, avows his determination, for reasons he
   does not deign to assign, to give all the countries of the
   world to the king of Babylon, whom he calls his servant,
   because he would accomplish an important part of his most
   righteous designs.  They, therefore, who would escape the most
   dreadful judgments, must submit to the God of Israel, by
   submitting to Nebuchadnezzar; they must hearken to the
   prophets of Israel, and not to their own diviners; and they
   must observe, that Nebuchadnezzar, his son, and his grandson,
   would whatever opposition should be made, possess the full
   dominion of all these countries, till the appointed time was
   expired; and then, these haughty conquerors would in their
   turn become the prey of other powerful conquerors; all of
   which was most exactly fulfilled.
