On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The things of the world are fading and dying apace. The lust itself and the pleasure of it wither and decay; desire itself will ere long fail and cease, Eccl. xii.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The animal life must be subjected to the divine; the body with its affections should be swayed by religion, or the victorious love of God. 18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
