Excerpt from The Parables of the Old Testament, Explained
The Sacred Scriptures are the Word of God, written in a Divine way, and for a Divine purpose.
The Divine Word contains messages from God, as a Spiritual Being, to men as spiritual beings. But, in order to_bring down the truth to the apprehension of natural-minded men, spiritual truths must be presented in corresponding natural ideas, in natural imagery.
I, Jehovah, thy God, have also spoken by the prophets, and have multiplied visions, and used simili tudes, by the ministry of the prophets. (hosea xii. 9, m.) Hence the Bible has a spirit and a body, between which there is the relation of correspondence, as inward and outward counterparts.
