The History of the Church Augurs its Permanence
Isaiah 66:22
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, said the LORD…


Though history is not prophecy, though it cannot with authority predict the universal and final sway of Christ's Gospel and of Christian institutions, it reveals, at the least, a working power, a tenacity of life, a hopefulness, a benevolent energy which are not inconsistent with stability and with continuance until the end of time.

(T. D. Woolsey.)
