Homilist Daniel 10:21 But I will show you that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holds with me in these things… I. The highest LITERATURE on earth. "The Scripture of truth." There are many scriptures, or writings, in the world. They abound and are multiplying. There are the scriptures of fiction, sensuality, romance; but there is only one book out of the millions concerning which you can say "the Scripture of truth," and that is the Bible. The truth is in this book, if anywhere. The truth in relation to man, Christ, God, etc., is here. The truth here is soul-converting, soul-cleansing, soul-strengthening, soul-comforting, soul-ennobling truth. II. The highest MINISTRY on earth. What is that? Expounding this truth in its relation to men individually. "I will show thee that which is noted in the Scripture of truth," says the heavenly messenger. On this earth no man occupies such a sublime office as he who is the enlightened, faithful, and practical expounder of God's truth to men. "I will show thee." The truth of the Scriptures has a relation to all classes of men — the careless, the carnal, the anxious, the self-righteous, the sceptical, the believing, etc. Heaven multiply such expositors! (Homilist.). Parallel Verses KJV: But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince. |
