The predictions of the dispersion of Israel, delivered by
Moses just before his death, are evidently here referred to:
they received a partial accomplishment at the Babylonian
captivity, but are more exactly fulfilling at this day.

The simple meaning of this place is, that when the Israelites
had rebelled against God, despised his statutes, and polluted
his sabbaths, in effect cast him off, and given themselves up
wholly to their idols, then He, in a just judgment for their
disobedience, abandoned them, "gave them up to a reprobate
mind," (Ro 1:28,) and suffered them to walk after the
idolatrous, cruel, and impious customs and ordinances of the
heathen; by which they were ripened for the destruction which
he intended to bring upon them, that they might learn to know
God by his judgments, seeing they had despised his mercies.
In the same sense God is said judicially to "send a strong
delusion, that they should believe a lie," to those who
"received not the love of the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness."

These predictions received a partial accomplishment by the
restoration of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity; but
they seem chiefly to relate to the establishment of the
Christian church, and more especially to the future
conversion of the Jews, and their restoration to their own
land.

Is it not his usual custom to deal in enigmas? His figures
are not to be understood; we should not trouble ourselves
with them. God therefore commands the prophet to declare, in
the next chapter, the same things in the plainest terms, so
that they should not complain of his parables.
