They — The seven shepherds, and eight principal men, those great instruments of God's revenge, and his church's deliverance. Waste the land — So did Merodach Baladan, king of Babylon. The land of Nimrod — The same with the land of Assyria. The entrance — The fortified frontiers. In this manner shall he, the Messiah, deliver the Jews, his people. The Assyrian — The type of all other enemies, to the people of God.
