I. IT WAS SUDDEN.

1. AS regards the object of it.

2. Not as regards the Author of it.

II. IT WAS THE DIRECT ACT OF GOD.

1. The destruction was predicted.

2. The destruction was, in its nature, extraordinary.

III. IT WAS COMPLETE. Utter ruin, and absolutely without remedy. Learn:

1. That God's judgments, though deserved, tarry long.

2. That without timely repentance, His judgments are sure to fall.

(T. H. Leale.)
