In it the cloud, which veils the mercy-seat as well as the pathways of Divine Providence, is withdrawn, and the light from behind the cloud flashes through, the token of the Divine presence to those who can behold it, light to His people, although to the Egyptians darkness. So marked, indeed, is the analogy of the kingdoms of unseen and revealed Providence, that men must acknowledge it one way or the other. Unless they trace it where it is less distinct, they will lose sight of it where it is most clear. Unless they explain what is less known by what is declared, they will explain away what is declared by what is obscure. Unless they make use of the light given them where they might see, it will be withdrawn from them where they think they see. Twilight, in that it has a portion of light, has a correspondence with day-break; and whoso, when the light is come, will not explain the indistinct outlines which he saw, &#8220;men as trees, walking,&#8221; by the distincter and revealed forms which he now beholds, must go on to walk in the darkness which he loves rather than light. They who interpret not what men call nature\u00a0[1\/2]\u00a0by the Bible, will bring down the Bible to the standard of nature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matthew 28: 19-20<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><sup>19\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,\u00a0baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,\u00a0<strong><sup>20\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>and teaching\u00a0them to obey everything I have commanded you.
