Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 7:23

23 And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from me ye that work iniquity.

That by that day is to be understood, the day of Iudgment is generally agreed by Interpreters: We have Prophecied in thy Name. That is, revealed thy Will unto People, and in thy Name, that is by thy Authority, and Power cast out Devils, and done many wonderful Works, that is, wrought many miraculous Operations, in the Old Testament we find Balaam and Saul Prophecying, who were both wicked Men: Iudas was sent out (under the New Testament) both to Preach, and to work Miracles. So as none from Gifts, no not the most eminent and extraordinary Gifts, can conclude the Goodness of his State, or any special favour with God, I will profess, that is, I will openly declare to them. I never knew you, that is so as to approve you, or take Pleasure in you: Depart from me, you Workers of iniquity, Mat. 25.41.
