"Her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn!"--the place or
land, therefore, is not named by the Prophet,--or its locality defined
by any relative name of any land then known,--yet it was to be "afar
off," and to be reached by the means of Navigation, for the remnant
were to "cry aloud from the _Sea_" in thanksgiving for their escape
from the National massacre. Throughout the Scripture, names of
localities are almost invariably defined; and in this very prophecy by
ISAIAH,--he says--"The burden of _Tyre_,"--"Howl, ye ships of
_Tarshish_," "the land of _Chittim_," "the merchants of _Sidon_," "the
seed of _Sihor_," "concerning _Egypt_," "the land of the _Chaldeans_,"
"the _Assyrian_ founded it," &c.--but where the "sojourners" were to
go is not specified, and for this apparent reason,--viz., that the
"afar off" Continent had no "local habitation _or a name_" among the
then existing nations of the Earth, whereby it could be designated;
and when to this is joined the fact, that the "remnant" of the Tyrians
are only found on that great Continent,--and that wherever they went
"afar off" it should be by Nautical means;--these, we submit, form a
conclusive proof that what is now termed America, but then nameless,
was contemplated by the Prophet in his great prediction;--for we think
that we are justified in the propositional belief, that when the
pre-ordinance of THE ALMIGHTY was manifested to the Prophet,--the
sacred prescience then obtained, conveyed the intelligence of the
equi-hemispherical character of the Earth!
Sceptics may say,--"There is the Prophecy of NOAH!--is that sustained
by these newly-discovered of ISAIAH'S, and by this present
History?"--we answer distinctly in the affirmative,--and further, that
the identity of Tyrians and Hebrews on the Western Continent, together
with their Conquerors, completely establish the fulfilment of both the
first Prophecy and the Malediction!
After the insult to his person by his youngest Son, the Patriarch
uttered the Curse upon his youngest _grandson_--Canaan, as enlarged
upon in the commencement of the Second Book of this Volume. The last
recorded words of Noah are as follows: viz.--
"Cursed be _Canaan_! a servant of servants shall he be unto his
_brethren_. Blessed be the Lord _God_ of _Shem_, and Canaan shall be
_his_ servant. God shall enlarge _Japheth_, [the eldest] and he shall
_dwell in the tents_ of Shem; and Canaan shall be _his_ [Japheth's]
servant."--We offer the following brief analysis: viz.--
1st. _Canaan shall be the servant of Shem_:--proof of fulfilment as
follows,--viz., Canaan's ten younger sons were the founders of the
great family of the Canaanites,--these were subdued, slain or made
captives by MOSES and JOSHUA, of the House of Israel, descended from
Shem.
