Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon, Occasioned by the Death of Rev. James S. Adams: Preached Before Bethel Presbytery, During Their Spring Sessions, 1844, in Catholic Church, Chester District, S. C "My father, my father; the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof." - 2 Kings, ii. 12. Elijah the Tishbite, the bold and intrepid prophet of the Most High, after a life of preeminent devotedness to the service of God and the welfare of man, is to be removed from this, to a higher sphere of service; to one of nearer and more intimate communion with God. His labors are finished, the affairs of earth are wound up, a chariot of fire conveys him from earth to heaven. Elisha, his attendant, witnesses the whole scene, and gazing with amazement on his ascending master, pours forth the impassioned language of our text, "My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof?" This is at once the language of grief and of astonishment; but we may ask, where is its propriety? In the days of the prophet, the chariot and the horsemen, were the terror of the battle field, and the means of victory, the very bulwark of national safety. But we are not informed that Elijah ever drew the sword as a warrior, or appeared with the chariot and the horse in the martial field.
