The Bible is God’s history of heaven and earth,—the only authentic history of them in existence. He is His own historian. He begins and ends His volume with these: and throughout it, they form the scene of His manifold plans and workings, the circle over which His divine love spreads itself in its manifestations of wisdom and power, and within which it gets vent to its eternal fulness,—a fulness which finds its way into all that which we call ‘nature’ (i.e. essential constitution of things, Rom. xi. 24), or ‘creation’ (i.e. things as coming from a Creator, Mark x. 6)
