Psalm 75:3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. : — It is literally true IN THE REALM OF NATURE. "I bear up the pillars of it." God is being gradually eliminated from His own world. In olden time God was brought in at every nook and corner and turn. If it rained, the Lord had opened the bottles of heaven. If there was a drought, the Lord had locked up the heavens. If a hurricane occurred, the Lord had raised up a mighty wind. In ancient times men saw God in all the phenomena of nature. We are more educated now — indeed, so educated that we have nearly excluded God from the realm of His own universe. There is a scientific explanation for everything. No matter what may happen, we are told, "There are the pillars that support, and there is nothing supernatural." But the Lord comes in and asks this question, "Who supports the pillars?" If a semi-infidel world says, "Everything can be explained by science, and that which at present seems almost insoluble has only to be waited for a little while, and the pillars will appear," God says, "True, but then 1 bear up the pillars." (A. G. Brown.) Parallel Verses KJV: The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.WEB: The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah. |
