And Jacob, when he went into Mesopotamia, saw Him in a dream, standing upon the ladder Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me, or what is the place of my rest? (Acts vii.49) and who comprehendeth the earth with his hand, and with his span the heaven [173] -- it was not He that came and stood in a very small space and spake with Abraham; but the Word of God, who was ever with mankind, and made known beforehand what should come to pass in the future, and taught men the things of God. |
