6. The heavens declare his righteousness. It is as
conspicuous as if written across the skies. It is the manner of the inspired
poets to picture the whole creation as in sympathy with the glory of God, and
indeed it is not mere poetry, for a great truth underlies it; the whole
creation has been made to groan through human sin, and it is yet to share in
the joy of his restoration. And all the people see his glory. The
glorious Gospel became so well known and widely promulgated that it seemed to
be proclaimed by every star, and published by the very skies themselves;
therefore all races of men became acquainted with it, and were made to see the
exceeding glory of the face of God which is resplendent therein. May it come to
pass ere long that, by a revival of the old missionary ardor, the glad tidings
may yet be carried to every tribe of Adam’s race, and once again all flesh may
see the glory of Jehovah. It must be so; therefore let us rejoice before the
Lord.
