Synopsis

Excerpt from The Dispensations Prophetically and Doctrinally Considered: Being a Course of Lectures Delivered at Montreal

It is not agreeable to the object of these discourses to further dwell on these passages. Those who wish to see the arguments of the learned on the subject may consult a whole host of authorities that are ename rated in Kurtz, on the History of the Old Covenant; and those who seek a more simple exposition can find it in the works of that popular Bible Commentator, Kitto, in his Daily Bible Illustrations, under ante-diluvions and I'atriarcbs, p. And I think the sound criticism of the former, and the plain exposition of the latter, may set any one tolerably clear on the subject, and will shew on what is based the whole Heathen Mythology, which consists of legends, in which this event is clearly the origin of the tale, and the introduction of hero-wor ship. At any rate, it, is a'moie reasonable ground for comprehending what must have been that disastrous rain that spread its contagion through the whole of the families on the earth but Noah's and how totally dif fcrent from the ordinary outbursts of sin and violence that must have been, which was pronounced as having changed the whole course of nature. It is sullicient for my purpose to establish a vast and universal apostacy, calling for the direct interference of judgment; and that, out of that judgment, (30d was able to deliver an elect remnant, not by translating them to heaven, but by preserving them alive through the judgment, and establishing them anew upon the earth after his indignation had been pout ed upon it.
