Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Exposition of the Apocalypse The Apocalypse is more eminently marked than any other part of the sacred writings, by the peculiarities which distinguish the works of inspiration from those of men; - a truth and wisdom of thought, a suitableness to the attributes and prerogatives of God, a greatness and majesty, that could proceed only from the Omniscient.

Like a shaft of lightning from a midnight cloud, shedding illumination over a landscape, and raising the forms and relations of its objects into distinctness, it flashes on us a gleam that reveals the ground within us on which the government of God is built, which is fully known only to him, and which men either fail to discover, or disown and wrap in darkness.

Our nature is such, that no one could hear an utterance like that from heaven, without an instinctive conviction that the Being whom it announces is God, and has the right of dominion. They arc attributes and relations that, by the law of our constitution, awaken in us a sense of subordination and responsibility.
