| "The
Solar Eclipse; Isaiah 45:7," Charles H. Spurgeon, 1858.
 | "I shall note this morning, in addressing you, that since the Lord creates
darkness as well as light; first of all, eclipses of every kind are part of God's way
of governing the world; in the second place, we shall notice that since God creates
the darkness as well as the light, we may conclude beyond a doubt that he has a design
in the eclipse—in the darkness as well as the light; and then, thirdly, we shall
notice that as all things that God has created, whether they be light or whether they
be dark, have a sermon for us, no doubt there are some sermons to be found in
this." |
