Isaiah 34:16,17

Here the Lord seems to refer to the prediction, when the fulfillment arrives. As if the Lord had said, "Let such as behold the desolations here spoken of look back, and mark how I predicted them, and how faithfully my word is accomplished." It is a solemn truth, though but seldom regarded as it ought, that, the very name of Jehovah Aloheim, (God in covenant) implies, that the Lord is, and will be, equally true to his threatenings, as to his promises: for all shall prove him the faithful God; Deuteronomy 7:9.
