This Section will be concluded by producing the authority of Scripture (with the incident of Nature) to support the statement of Herodotus: and although the Prophets will be quoted, in this instance Prophecy itself has no bearing upon the subject,--their words upon this direct investigation only refer to that _which had taken place_, and consequently only of past record, and not for predictions of a future. This was the case with JEREMIAH and EZEKIEL, but,--_not with_ ISAIAH,--and upon this fact do we rest the Scriptural record of the successful accomplishment of this Voyage. Our argument is as follows,--viz., In the Prophecy by ISAIAH already quoted [Book ii., ch. v.] there is no allusion whatever to this Expedition, and for the reason,--that ISAIAH wrote of the doom of Tyrus 106 years _before_ the period of this Voyage,--consequently the absence of all notice by this Sacred writer (the subject not being prophetical) proves at least that the naval enterprise was undertaken _after_ the time in which he prophecied the downfall of the Tyrian Nation:--Following out this train of reasoning, any Prophet, therefore, who came _after_ the Expedition, and in speaking, or writing, of Tyrus, _should allude to it_ as having taken place,--for it would form another item in the gathered glory of Sidon's Daughter, and would be included in that long list of pride about to be cancelled by the Babylonian Conquest. The reader will find that the later Prophets _did_ allude to this Voyage, and, also, to the cluster of Isles of which Teneriffe is the principal. The first of these is JEREMIAH, who prophesied the destruction of several offending Nations, in the first year of the reign of the King of Babylon, and the fourth of Jehoiakim, Monarch of Judæa,--this was in the beginning of the year 606 B. C. Now supposing that the Voyagers left Suez in the commencement of the year 609 B. C. and occupying three years in the enterprise,--would bring the defined period to the end of 607 B. C.--consequently JEREMIAH wrote his words _only a few Months_ after the triumphant issue, and discovery of "the Isles beyond the Sea,"--the account of which would speed through Judæa and the surrounding nations, as it had through Egypt and Tyrus. It is a remarkable circumstance, that in tracing back the history of this Voyage nearly 2500 years, that it should be found to have been alluded to only a few months,--perhaps weeks--after its accomplishment, and in the sacred page of Scripture: and it is still more singular, that writers upon this subject of record by Herodotus, should have passed it unheeded; as, also, the allusion by EZEKIEL. The Prophecy by JEREMIAH concerning Judæa, as well as of Tyrus, will be quoted in order to shew the character of the approaching destruction. The last lines contain the allusion mentioned, having reference to the discovery of the Fortunate Isles.
