Harmony of Redemption in the Bible.
The very fact that the Bible has but one great subject running through all its histories and prophecies that salvation by blood is the focal point in which all its various lines of light converge, is to me one of the strongest evidences that it came from God. When I consider that the writers lived hundreds and thousands of years apart, that they were found in all walks of life, and that they wrote in different languages, I can find no way to account for the unity which pervades it, but by admitting that these various writers were all moved and guided by the same high intelligence. No matter who held the pen, whether Moses in Midian, or David in the mountains of Israel, or Ezekiel lying on the river’s bank, or Daniel in the palaces of Babylon, or Paul in a prison at Rome, or John in the solitude of the bleak isle of Patmos, the records are all essentially the same, and blend together as one great whole. Just as the various notes and chords of the musician’s oratorio express the one great thought of the composer, so the grand hymn of revelation presents but one central idea; whatever chords in the harp of inspiration are touched by the chosen hands, they ultimately settle upon the key-note, “Salvation through the blood of the Lamb.”
