Excerpt from Light: Its Properties and Effects
On this act is founded a great part of the character in which he specially claims the Obedience of intelligent beings. As the Creator of the universe, he shows him self able to preserve and govern the vast work which he has thus made. It is evident that he has power which nothing can resist or escape, wisdom which nothing can elude or approach, and greatness with which nothing can possibly be compared. Creation, too, gives the highest claim; and hence he is the absolute Proprietor of all. He who says, Every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills, has the same property in the humble and the exalted - from the smallest atom to the loftiest archangel. He doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants Of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? Dan. Iv. 35.
It is a singular fact, that while Moses says, when the earth was without form and void, Darkness was upon the face of the deep, some traces Of this truth are found among most nations. Aristotle speaks of some of the learned, as saying, All things are born from night. Hesiod describes chaos as the origin of all things, from which Erebus and Night arose. Aristophanes also inti mates that this idea was common among the intelligent men Of Greece.
