And I will set a sign among them.] This sign may very well be that visible pouring out of the gifts of the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost, under the symbol of wind and fire, Act 2:2-4 a together with the signs and wonders whereby the apostle's doctrine was confirmed. Others make this sign to be the profession of the Christian faith. Some also, the doctrine of the gospel, and especially the sacraments.
And I will send those that escape of them,] i.e., The apostles and their fellow helpers, such as were Barnabas, Silas, Luke, &c.
To Tarshish, Pul.] To all parts of the world, east, west, north, and south.
That draw the bow.] The Mosches or Muscovites, say the Septuagint; the Turks, saith one of the Rabbis. See Trapp on " Rev 9:15 " See Trapp on " Rev 9:16 " See Trapp on " Rev 9:17 "
