It shall come as a destruction; or rather, a destruction or devastation shall come, as the LXX. and vulgar Latin render it. For this was not as a destruction, but was a destruction indeed. And the particle as is not seldom used to express, not the likeness, but the reality of the thing, as 1 Thessalonians 1:14. From the Almighty; who fighteth for your adversaries, and against you, and therefore your destruction is unavoidable.
