as a cloud1 parallel

it shall be9 parallels

Though it is not generally agreed what people or transactions are here predicted , yet it seems evident that the prophecy is not yet accomplished. Nothing occurred in the wars of Cambyses , or Antiochus Epiphanes with the Jews , that answers to it; and the expression here used , in the latter days , plainly implies that there should be a succession of many ages between the publication of the prediction and its accomplishment. It is therefore supposed , with much probability , that its fulfilment will be posterior to the conversion of the Jews and their restoration to their own land; and that the Turks , Tarters , or Scythians , from the northern parts of Asia , perhaps uniting with the inhabitants of some more southern regions , will make war upon the Jews and be cut off in a manner predicted here
