* the finger.
Ex 8:19 Mt 12:28
* the kingdom.
For the destruction of the kingdom of Satan plainly implies
the setting up of the kingdom of God. The reasoning of the
Pharisees (ver. 17, and Mt 12:24, 25,) was not expressed, and
Jesus knowing their thoughts, gave ample proof of his
omniscience. This, with our Lord's masterly confutation of
their reasonings, by a conclusion drawn from their own
premises, one would have supposed might have humbled and
convinced those men; but the most conclusive reasoning, and
the most astonishing miracles, were lost upon a people who
were obstinately determined to disbelieve every thing that was
good relative to Jesus of Nazareth.
