30. mountains . . . hills, c.— (Hosea 10:8), flying hither and thither as they did in despair for shelter, during the siege a very slight premonition of cries of another and more awful kind (Isaiah 2:10; Isaiah 2:19; Isaiah 2:21; Revelation 6:16; Revelation 6:17). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 23:31

(2) This he calls Christ's own (Thy) kingdom. (3) As such, he sees in Christ the absolute right to dispose of that kingdom to whom He pleased. (4) He does not presume to ask a place in that kingdom, though that is what he means, but with a humility quite affecting, just says, "Lord,... read more
