The Revelations of God. The Revelations of God. God reveals Himself to us in as mysterious a manner in the most ordinary circumstances, and as truly and adorably as in the great events of History or of Holy Scripture. This word and these events are, so to say, but feeble rays from a sun obscured by clouds.
Darkness takes the place of light, ignorance of knowledge, and one neither sees nor understands.
The sacred Scripture is the mysterious utterance of a God yet more mysterious and the events of the world are the obscure language of this same hidden and unknown God. They are mere drops from an ocean of midnight darkness, and partake of the nature of their source. Consider the treatment of Jesus Christ. Think of the plagues of the Apocalypse, yet these are words of God. And the effect of these terrible mysteries which will continue till the end of time is still the living word, teaching us His wisdom, power, and goodness.
