About the "torrent** of Kishon," see the preceding Chap. 4: verse 13. * Here it is explained what the torrent of Kishon is, namely, a "torrent of overtaking," according to others, a "torrent of meetings".*** The "overtaking" is that they have different opinions about the Kingdom of God the Messiah than they should. This is called the "torrent of Kishon," because it overthrows them. For they think contrarily, and they do not wish to be taught. * This paragraph is emphasized in the original by the word "Obs." written twice in the margin. ** The KJV has "river." *** I.e., Termellius.
