xxvii. 13. _And it shall come to pass in that day that the
great trumpet, &c._
The Jews had been scattered everywhither--some wandering in Assyria,
and some exiled in Egypt; but their coming back, as by the call of a
trumpet, is here predicted. The passage is strongly descriptive of
the exiled and perishing condition of sinful men, and of their return
at the trumpet-call of the Gospel.
I. THE SINNER'S CONDITION. He is--1. An exile. 2. He is ready to
perish.
