Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bible True From the Beginning, Vol. 5 When the writer began this work, it was with the intention that it should be a work on Everlasting Punishment, and on that subject only. In pursuing this design, he found it needful to examine the early chapters in ´Genesis.´ Thereby he was led to consider the verse which tells of the cherubim at Eden´s gate. That he might the better understand what was therein said of the cherubim, he thought it advisable to consider the early chapters in ´Ezekiel,´ which contain much cherubic imagery. It was from these chapters that he obtained his first idea of the grades. That idea led on to an examination of Scripture far exceeding the purposed limits, and to a work of seven Volumes instead of one. Let the reader examine, as did the writer, this early part of ´Ezekiel.´ He will find in it a law of progress or evolution. The first chapter, as writers like Hengstenberg have admitted, deals with the lower animal creation. We read of ´living creatures,´ but neither the Adamic Prophet nor any human being has any active part in the whole chapter. The next chapter begins to describe human beings, and makes no reference to the living creatures. But its first allusions are to human beings who are in an imperfect and savage state. They are compared to briars, thorns, scorpions, rebels, and are said to be impudent and stiffhearted (verses 3-6). The Adamic Prophet now begins to carry God´s message to this savage people. But it is the very beginning of this intermediary prophetic action. The Divine Spirit has but newly entered into him (verse 2). Moreover, as yet, while the Prophet speaks God´s words (verse 7), no allusion is made to a written Revelation. But in verses 8-10 we read of a written Revelation coming to the Prophet. This appears to be the beginning of such written Revelation. Moreover this first revealed writing is said to be full of lamentations, and mourning, and woe. Such a description is very applicable to the Book of Job, a Book which ancient Christians regarded as the oldest in the Bible (Orig., Cont. Cels., Lib. VI., c. xliii.).
