Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hope for Our Country: A Sermon Preached, in the South Church, Salem, October 19, 1862 Ezek. xx, 36 - 38. "Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord God. And I will cause you to pass under tho rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me." God chose the Jews for a great mission, and remembered the object and the covenant; and when they were unfaithful, pleaded with them, chastised them, and brought them back. This continued through many successive generations and centuries. He passed them, fathers and sons, as they needed it, "under the rod," and brought them "into the bond of the covenant." The motive was mercy, love; hence the scourging was hot for destruction but correction. The passing "under the rod" was to bring "into the bond of the covenant." May we not hope this is so in the case of our Country? May we not believe it? God is certainly pleading with us, and causing us to "pass under the rod:" may we not believe, are there not good reasons to believe, that it is not to destroy us, but to bring us into covenant-bonds with him?
