The most discordant mind must perceive, even in this brief review of Noah's Prophecy, the most perfect harmony of Truth founded upon History;--and what is the Bible if it will not bear this test? It consequently demands the investigation of direct historic facts, and thence becomes the diapason of harmonious Truth,--the Messiah of Language,--truly "The Sent of God" for man's instruction here,--and his only hope of a beatific blessing hereafter! Man thinks not, that when his Soul shall from hence, It will speed a Spirit from star to star:-- World after world,--each deified,--shall receive it,-- Thence bounding,--from our earthly sin redeem'd,-- And sanctified through each celestial sphere,-- And gloried by the Creator's diadem,-- 'Twill be enthronëd in the breast of GOD!-- There to remain, pure, brilliant, and immortal![19] [19] MS. Tragedy of "Tecumseh." While the collective contents of this chapter will confirm the true belief in the Christian's mind, sincerely do we hope that those who may have entertained wavering doubts, will cast them from their stranded hearts; and in future let those citadels of nature become the confiding homes of refuge amid all the storms of earthly life; may they feel in sorrow or misfortune, that the Two Testaments,--like the Saviour of Life, will pass over the wild waves of apparent despair, and that the ocean of thought will be tranquil!--but to the sceptic,--the God-denying atheist, and the labyrinth-lost materialist,--we have presented the full language of irrefragable argument,--have encountered them with uncompromising resolution, and upon the Ezraic ground of their own selection; and from which they cannot retreat,--they must there remain confounded and defeated; and to the following undeniable, unanswerable conclusion they must be dumb,--or if they speak, be it in humility and repentance: viz.-- No sophistry or empty volubility, adorned with all the inthralling powers of language or eloquence, can controvert, or overthrow, established and _historic facts_; they are the essentials to the proofs, and are the only, and the conclusive proofs themselves, that Prophecies have been fulfilled: when, therefore, incontrovertible truths are brought from the archives of acknowledged History,--and they substantiate--and undeniably,--the actual accomplishment of Prophecies,--then those inspired Visions of an unapproached future, upon being so proven to have become the now stern realities of the past, or of the present,--they must,--they can be only viewed and received, as the Divine pre-ordinances of ALMIGHTY GOD,--promulgated to a wondering world, from the hallowed lips of His chosen Prophets and Mediators!--Such sacred messengers to Mankind, were Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel;--and the last Prophet upon Earth,--fulfilling by His presence the Truth of Holy-Writ--was The Son of God,--The Messiah-- THE OMNIPOTENT REDEEMER OF THE UNIVERSE!
