( 24 )
After all, it is a mighty wonder to see worm Jacob threshing the mountains! But the threshing worm is shod from heaven, and so fitted to thresh.
There are three things this threshing instrument is shod with, which must insure its success, viz. The promise of success, furniture provided for it, and the command calling to the work.
To conclude, We may from hence see, the vanity and fully of the rationalists of our time, in laying aside the proper threshing instrument, the doctrine of a crucified Christ, and substituting in the room thereof the dry and sapless doctrine of Heathen morality; which God will never countenance for threshing the corruptions, renewing the hearts, or reforming the lives of any, being contrary to the appointment of God for that purpose. But worm Jacob, influenced by the promise, and excited by the command of God, and using the proper means, shall thresh the mountains, and beat them small; and shall make the bills as chaff. Amen.
