14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one {k} LORD, and his name one.
(k) All idolatry and superstition will be abolished, and there will be one God, one faith, and one religion.
14:9 In that day - All men shall agree in worshipping one God, in one way of spiritual worship, and hearty obedience.
14:8-15 Some consider that the progress of the gospel, beginning from Jerusalem, is referred to by the living waters flowing from that city. Neither shall the gospel and means of grace, nor the graces of the Spirit wrought in the hearts of believers by those means, ever fail, by reason either of the heat of persecution, or storms of temptation, or the blasts of any other affliction. Tremendous judgments appear to be foretold, to be sent upon those who should oppose the settlement of the Jews in their own land. How far they are to be understood literally, events alone can determine. The furious rage and malice which stir up men against each other, are faint shadows of the enmity which reigns among those who have perished in their sins. Even the inferior creatures often suffer for the sin of man, and in his plagues. Thus God will show his displeasure against sin.
