Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

All things - The universe. The expression cannot be limited to any part of the universe. It appropriately expresses everything which exists - all the vast masses of material worlds, and all the animals and things, great or small, that compose those worlds. See Rev 4:11; Heb 1:2; Col 1:16. Were made - The original word is from the verb “to be,” and signifies “were” by him; but it expresses the idea of creation here.
