Excerpt from The Bible-Work, Vol. 2 of 2: The New Testament; The Acts, the Epistles, and the Revelation If, from a prophetical text or two, we were able to count on our fingers how many years the world will last, such knowledge would puff up, and lead us to talk and speculate, instead of doing with our might what our hand finds to do. It is not enough that we submit to leave the ages and epochs in the Father's hand, because we can not wrench them out of. It we should be glad and grateful that he spares us such sights into the future as we should not be able to bear. It is the part of a dear child to read eagerly all that the Father reveals, and to trust implicitly wherever the Father indicates a de sign to conceal. Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find - not predict ing, but? Watching. In removing the speculative inquiry, he placed a great practical work in their hands. Arnor.
