17. until I went into the sanctuary of God. His mind
entered the eternity where God dwells as in a holy place; he left the things of
sense for the things invisible, his heart gazed within the veil. Apparent
disorder resolved itself into harmony. The motions of the planets appear most
discordant from this world which is itself a planet, but could we fix our
observatory in the sun, which is the center of the system, we should perceive all
the planets moving in perfect circles around the head of the great solar
family. Then understood I their end. A wider view changed his judgment;
he saw with his mind’s enlightened eye the future of the wicked, and his soul
was in debate no longer as to the happiness of their condition. No envy gnaws
now at his heart, but a holy horror both of their impending doom and of their
present guilt fills his soul. He recoils from being dealt with in the same
manner as the proud sinners whom just now he regarded with admiration.
