The Innermost Meaning

"And I will bring the blind
By a way that they know not;
I will lead them in paths
That they have not known:
I will make darkness light before them,
And crooked things strait.
These things will I do unto them,
And not forsake them."  Isa. 42:16

The very structure of prophesy
Lies amiss and in corruption,
Unless it be clearly seen,
That all the history of Israel,
Is in itself a montage of prediction:
A grand supernatural system
Of imparted types and shadows;
And that all the incursions
Of His mighty hand,
Are one in principle;
And all behold and foretell,
Of His glorious intervention,
In redeeming love,
Through the person of Messiah;
And in Him do we apprehend,
The innermost meaning
Of the promise given to Abraham.
