There is no want of power in God to cast wicked men into hell at any
moment. Men's hands cannot be strong when God rises up. The strongest
have no power to resist him, nor can any
deliver out of his hands.
-- He is not only able to cast wicked men into hell, but he can most
easily do it. Sometimes an earthly prince meets with a great deal of
difficulty to subdue a rebel, who has
found means to fortify himself, and has made himself strong by the numbers of his followers. But it is not so with God. There is no fortress that is any defence from the power of God. Though hand
join in hand, and vast multitudes of God's enemies combine and
associate themselves, they are easily broken in pieces. They are as
great heaps of light chaff before the whirlwind; or large
quantities
of dry stubble before devouring flames. We find it easy to tread on and
crush a worm that we see crawling on the earth; so it is easy for us to
cut or singe a slender thread that any thing
hangs by: thus easy is
it for God, when he pleases, to cast his enemies down to hell. What are
we, that we should think to stand before him, at whose rebuke the
earth trembles, and before whom the rocks are thrown down? Jonathan
