Questions.

By John Nevins Andrews

THE Psalmist says: “For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.” Ps. cxliii, 3.

Is not this spoken of the dead without respect to character? Is it not certain, if this text is true, that those who have been long dead are even now dwelling in darkness? What was the condition of the author of this Psalm, one thousand years after his death, according to Peter? Acts ii, 34. What, according to Paul? Acts xiii, 36. Does his present state of sleep satisfy his hope? Ps. xvii, 15. When will he awake with Christ’s likeness? 1 Cor. xv, 51–54; Job xiv, 12, 13; 1 John iii, 2. J. N. ANDREWS.
