Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Unconditional Loyalty This is a part of the famous passage which sacred literature and the half-inspired music of Handel have rendered so familiar, in its application to the mission of the Messiah. Inseparable as it has now become from Christ´s person, its original reference, singular as the language may appear in such a connection, was to an earthly monarch, Isaiah was predicting a king for Israel, who should be competent to free it from all its political and moral perplexities, and he described him in words not then esteemed extravagant or sacrilegious, whatever might be thought of them now. "For unto us a child is born; unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end: upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever." It is instructive to bear in mind that this passage is, on Scriptural authority, applicable to human governors and to our Divine Master; that the head of the Church and the head of the State, if not united in the same person, are spoken of in these solemn terms of dignity and responsibleness, as if their duties had a similar significance, and their claims a similar, though not equal, importance.
