Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Whole Works of the Rev. John Howe, Vol. 4 of 8: With a Memoir of the Author When spiritual judgments do more eminently befall a people great outward calamities do often ensure. We know it was so in the instance, which the text here insisted on refers to. But it is not always so; the connection between these two sorts of judgments is not absolutely certain and necessary, yea and is more frequent with the contraries of each. For this reason therefore, and because judgments of the former kind are so unexpressibly greater, and more tremendous, this discourse insists only upon them, about which serious monitions both have a clearer ground, and are of greater importance; and wholly waves the latter. Too many are apt first to fancy similitudes between the state of things with one people and another, and then to draw inferences; being perhaps imposed upon by a strong imagination in both; which yet must pass with them for a spirit of prophecy, and perhaps they take it not well, if it do not so with others too. It were indeed the work of another prophet certainly to accommodate, and make application of what was spoken by a former, to a distinct time and people. It is enough for us to learn from such sayings as this of our Saviour, those rules of life and practice, such instructions and cautions as are common to all times, without arrogating to ourselves his prerogative, of foretelling events that shall happen in this or that. The affectation of venturing upon futurity, and of foreboding direful things to kingdoms and nations, may, besides its being without sufficient ground, proceed from some or other very bad principle.
