     * 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.
