Excerpt from Commentary on the Book of Isaiah, Critical, Historical, and Prophetical: Including a Revised English Translation With Introduction and Appendices on the Nature of Scripture Prophecy, the Life and Times of Isaiah, the Genuineness of the Later Prophecies, the Structure and History of the Whole Book, the Assyrian History in Isaia The doctrine of the Fall comes next in order. This includes the great fact that men, in every age, are conscious of guilt and shame; that they shrink from the presence and voice of a holy God; and need to be recalled from their hiding-places by His powerful voice, before they can hold intercourse with their um seen Creator. These truths have first of all to be received, before the soul of man can find access to that sanctuary, where God reveals his work and ways to the humble and pure in heart.
