On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

(4.) That the rulers would gather together against God and Christ; not only monarchs, that have the power in their single persons, but where the power is in many rulers, councils, and senates, they gather together, to consult and decree against the Lord and against his Christ --against both natural and revealed religion. What is done against Christ, God takes as done against himself.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
