Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse: On the Evils and the End of War They shall beat their swords into plough-shares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword againt nation, neither shall they learn war any more. Isaiah, 11. 4. The prophet declared, that what is foretold in the text and context, "shall come to pass in the last days." The last days signify, without question, the times of the Messiah. The period, which is intended by the last days, began when the Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven; and was exalted as "the head over all things to the church." Some part of the prediction, which includes our text, was accomplished in the calling of the Gentiles to the knowledge and worship of the true God, and the great success of the gospel in the days of the apostles. But it has been justly observed - "There needs no other proof, that the grand accomplishment of this prophecy is reserved for some future period, than the consideration, that nothing, in any measure answerable to such forcible expressions, has yet occurred on earth." As yet, events have been so different from what is foretold, that multitudes, with the scriptures in their hands, imagine, that the joyful scenes described by the prophet, will never be realized in this world. But the God of truth, who speaks and it is done, has said of the nations of the earth, "they shall beat their swords into plough-shares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." This divine declaration places before us the following sentiment: - Though war has existed in past ages, in a future period, it shall wholly cease. To illustrate this sentiment, it is proposed, I. To consider the existence of war in past ages; II. To inquire how it appears, that war shall, at some future period, wholly cease; and, III. To show in what way war shall cease to exist among all nations. It is proposed, I. To consider the existence of war in past ages. Of its existence, it may be observed, 1. War has existed in every age and nation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
