Highlights of Education in Light of Divine Truth

MUSIC:Divine truth gives a sweeter, deeper meaning to music than it could possibly have
otherwise. “the morning stars sang together…" "the mountains and the hills shall break forth into
singing".

POETRY:What poetry can compare, either in scope or sentiment, with that of the Bible? See the
great epic of Job. What elegies can be compared with the pathos of David’s lament over Jonathan
and his bitter enemy Saul?

LITERATURE:Where shall we find a literature like that of the Bible? Indeed, all that is best in
literature, medieval and modern, has been derived directly, or indirectly, from the Scriptures.

POLITICAL SCIENCE:We shall find that the wisdom by which princes rule is found alone in
the Word of God. The origin of government under Noah is traced in Scripture. We are compelled
to own that regeneration, both in individual and national, alone can bring in a true Millennium, in
which the righteous Ruler over men, who rules in the fear, of God, will be none other than the
Son of David and Son of God.

HISTORY:The history of Israel first of all, supplies the great framework for the history of the
world. "When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sone
of Adam, He set the bounds of the people according to the number of the Children of Israel"
(Deut. 32:8). It is in Christ that all things are to be headed up, and all earthly history must have
relation to Him. See the rise and fall of the Jewish empire.

ARCHAEOLOGY:The light of divine revelation is needed to throw its quiet and holy beams
across the mass of ancient chronology and history,

ASTRONOMY:We would thus approach astronomy in the light of those sublime words:"The
heavens declare the Glory of God, and the firmament showed) His handiwork”

GEOLOGY; Geology would be for us but an enlargement of the first verse of the book of
Genesis:"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth".

PSYCHOLOGY:Man, however, is not only body, but soul and spirit. Thus psychology-the
science of personality and the attributes of knowledge, feeling, and will – can only get its full
explanation in the word of God.

FRAGMENT. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man (the
unsaved) the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed
them unto us (the saved) by his Spirit" (1 Cor. 2:9,10). "And in all matters of wisdom and
understanding, that the king (Nebuchadnezzar) enquired of them (Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and
Azariah), he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all
his realm" (Daniel 1:20). "As for these four children (Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah)
God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom" (Daniel 1:17). "And King

Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. And all the kings of the earth
sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart (2 Chron.
9:22,23).
