Homilist Isaiah 41:15 Behold, I will make you a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: you shall thresh the mountains, and beat them small… I. THE FORMS OF GOOD AND EVIL. Evil is a mountain — a big thing occupying immense space, bounding the horizon and darkening the sun. Good often appears as small as a worm. II. THE CONFLICT OF GOOD AND EVIL. The worm shall "thresh the mountain." Worms in nature are mighty things; they build up islands fair as Eden. Good has made an attack upon evil, and it will thresh its "mountains and beat them small." (Homilist.) Parallel Verses KJV: Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. |
