Jeremiah23:20
20 The Anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart : in the latter dayes ye shall consider it perfectly .
It is therefore called a continuing whirlwind, chap. 30.23. The Prophet speaks of the judgment as of a Messenger, which coming from God, should not return till it had done its Errand and Executed what it came for, even whatever God had resolved should effect. Men are ready to flatter themselves, that they shall either out-ride or out-live the stormes of Divine Vengeance, no (saith the Prophet) the Anger of the Lord shall bring to pass whatsoever the just Will of God is.
And though you will not now believe it, but flatter your selves with idle, vain hopes, yet hereafter when it shall be too late (which is the usual folly of Sinners) then you shall consider it perfectly.
