Verse 35. Heaven and earth shall passe, &c.]
What God hath written, he hath written. His word is stablished in heaven,* 1.1 saith David; It endures for ever, saith Peter; It remaineth firm* 1.2 as Mount Sion, and shall stand inviolable, when heaven shall passe away with a great noise, and the earth with its works shall be burnt up, 2 Pet. 3. 10. to the terrour and confusion of those profane scoffers, who deridingly demand, Where is the promise of* 1.3his coming, &c? vers. 4. that say, Let him make speed and hasten* 1.4his work, that we may see it, &c.
