VISCISSITUDE . How gay the morn when nature smiles , How sweet appears the woottland scene , Fond fancy then each care beguiles , And paint * the prospect ever green . But hark , the stoi rn ! it howls around ; The lightnings Hash , the thunders roar . The echoing rocks return the sound , And morning srjiiiea delight no more .

of man be . " And it was One great object of his describingthe signs of the near * approach of that awful event to enable them to perceive its approach—V . 25 . " Behold , I have told you before . " With these facts in view , the apostle ' s meaning will appear to be this-r-We have also the word of prophecy concerning his coming , more fully confirmed . But how more fully confirmed ? Why by the signs which are now appearing of the approaching destruction of Jerusalem , whereunto ye do well that ye take heed as unto a light shining in a dark or obscure place , until the day dawn and that which bringeth the full splendour of light , < pa / r < popor , the sun shall arise in your hearts .
In the 2 Oth verse , the apostle s design seems to have been to confirm the importance and stability of prophecy in general , and consequently of the prophecy of which he was speaking , in particular cc Knowing this first , " as the foundation of your faith in prophecy , that no prophecy is the [ effect of ] private discovery—or of , mere human invention ; for—V . 21 . prophecy came not -sTors formerly by the will of man but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost .
I am well aware—that our translators have rendered i $ ia ? * irikv < Fs < o £ u private interpretation , ' but St . Peter has sufficiently explained what he meant by that phrase ^ by contrasting the will of man to that which was produced by the operation of the Holy Ghost . In a word , the whole passage as here explained , appears to me to be so natural , and to harmonize so exactly with the prediction of our Lord concerning the destruction of Jerusalem and with his . language concerning his coming , which he so closely connected with that prediction , that it appears to me almost if not altogether certain that this is his genuine meaning .
