And let me still take on me to add another word on what the Lord says as to the Chaldean in Habakkuk 2:14. “The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”
The pride of man, whether he is Chaldean or any other, that would affect universal empire, has ever been, and shall still be, judged and broken; and that dominion shall be reserved for Jesus “the Lord,” and for Him only. He shall be made higher than the kings of the earth, and His kingdom shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. Neither the past or present unbelief of His own nation, Israel, nor the purposes and attempts of any of the Gentiles, shall hinder this. (See Num. 14:21; Hab. 2:14.) For, in the coming peaceful days of the scepter of the righteous One, this shall be accomplished. (See Isa. 11:9.)
The people shall labor after this, but they shall weary themselves for nothing, for “very vanity” (Hab. 2:13). But Jesus shall have it. “Blessed be His glorious name forever, and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen” (Psa. 72:19).
