Sinopsis

Excerpt from Light on the Last Things

Hence, we conclude, that a new revelation Of holy truth, instead of being at this day improbable, is, on the other hand, the very thing to 'have been ex pected, and that a new and better understanding of Sacred Scripture is precisely what all this great movement Of natural intelligence seems to foreshadow and predict. We may as soon suppose that an intel ligent human parent at this day among us would withhold from his children the common information afforded by our schools and books, as that the great Heavenly Parent of us all should withhold from the great family of men the new Spiritual knowledge suited to the advanced maturity at which they have now arrived.

Excerpt from Light on the Last Things

This expansion of natural knowledge is needed to form a basis for the reception and understanding of spiritual knowledge. The grand analogies of the universe hold good throughout. The former revela tions of heavenly truth were conformed to the limited range of men's natural knowledge. There is just as vast a universe of new spiritual knowledge to be opened and revealed to human thought, as these later centuries have opened of natural science. But the natural must come first, to enlarge the range of ideas, break up narrow prejudices, illustrate the intel ligence, quicken the thirst for knowledge, and fur nish visible analogies in which exalted truths and great spiritual realities may be seen and viewed as in so many mirrors of reflection.
