26. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure. The power which made them will dissolve them, as the city of thy love
was destroyed at thy command; yet neither the ruined city nor the ruined earth
can make a change in thee, reverse thy purpose, or diminish thy glory. Thou
standest when all things fall. Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.
Time impairs all things. The visible creation, which is like the garment of the
invisible God, is waxing old and wearing out, and our great King is not so poor
that he must always wear the same robes; he will ere long fold up the worlds
and put them aside as worn-out vestures, and he will array himself in a new
heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. How readily will all this
be done. As in the creation, so in the restoration, omnipotence will work its
way without hindrance.
