But although the world is now full of unrighteous judgments, and even God himself seems not to judge and administer things justly, because he suffers his people to be oppressed, and the wicked to triumph over them, yet the state of things shall be otherwise ordered, God will declare himself to be a righteous Judge, and will advance and establish justice in the earth, and especially among his people. Matthew Poole 1624-1679
Can you believe that Matthew Poole wrote the above quote in the 17th Century?
To my way of thinking, mankind hasn't changed at all. What Matthew Poole wrote could have been written today, in the 21st century, because it is as applicable to the world today as it was when he originally wrote it. Do you agree?
In my opinion, the study of the Bible is timeless. I am still amazed at how much insight I gain from bible commentaries that were written over three centuries ago.
Amen!! If you haven't yet, find a copy of Hannah Woodall Smith's "A Christian's Secret to a Happy Life"... you will love it!!
