A comprehensive commentary on Isaiah for Android devices

Dr. Alexander is also the author of a commentary on Psalms, and the following poem:


"There is a Line"

There is a time, I know not when -
A place, I know not where,
Which marks the destiny of men -
To heaven or despair.

There is a line, by us not seen -
Which crosses every path;
The hidden boundary between –
God's patience and God's wrath.

To cross that limit is to die -
To die as if by stealth.
It may not pale the beaming eye,
Nor quench the glowing health.

The conscience may be still at ease;
The spirit light and gay.
That which is pleasing still may please,
And care be thrust away.

But on that forehead God hath set -
Indelibly a mark,
By man unseen, for man as yet,
Is blind and in the dark.

And still the doomed man's path below -
May bloom as Eden bloomed.
He did not, does not, will not know,
Nor feel, that he is doomed.

He feels, he says, that all is well;
His every fear is calmed.
He lives; he dies; he wakes in hell -
Not only doomed, but damned.

Oh, where is that mysterious bourne
By which each path is crossed?
Beyond which God, Himself, hath sworn -
That he who goes is lost?

How long may man go on in sin;
How long will God forbear?
Where does hope end, and where begin -
The confines of despair?

One answer from the skies is sent:
Ye who from God depart -
While it is yet today, repent;
And harden not your heart.

This poem is also titled “The Hidden Line” and “The Doomed Man”. The first line of the last verse is sometimes given as: “An answer from the skies repeats”, which neither improves nor rhymes. That is the only line that perhaps merits change. Perhaps a better rendering would be: “One answer from God’s word is lent:”.


What's New in Version R1.2 - MySword (Android (See full changelog)

  • 5/11/16 - Increased font size of poem text per user request.
  • 9/6/16 - corrected 'typo' in "There is a Line" poem; and 'centered' it.


The size of your font is way too small for anyone to be able to read this page, and will require either a magnifying glass or binoculars. Edit this page by increasing the font size please.

 

I hope this isn't an example of the size of the font in the resource. If it is, then that is also going to be needed to be fixed.

 

Blessings,

Shalom, this is not the 2vol ed.as written in the intern module info: "The Prophecies of Isaiah By Joseph Addison Alexander, D. D. Vol. 1 was published in NY in 1870 by Charles Scribner & Co.; and Vol. 2 was published in NY in 1878 by Scribner, Armstrong & Co. Looking at the face of each volume, it appears that John Eadie, D.D., LL.D., edited both published volumes." But an abridgement from 1851, see here: https://books.google...epage&q&f=false
