Luke 1:52 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath put down the mighty from their seats - Or, He hath taken down potentates from their thrones. This probably alludes to the removal of Saul from the throne of Israel, and the establishment of the kingdom in the person and family of David. And as Mary spoke prophetically, this saying may also allude to the destruction of the kingdom of Satan and his allies, and the final prevalence of the kingdom of Christ.
