CORRUPTION AND VIOLENCE ON THE EARTH
Symbolic of a state of estrangement from the
Spirit, and of strife among the qualities of the lower nature.
"And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with
violence." - GENESIS. vi. 11.
And the lower nature was gross and predominant. Corruption and
violence correspond to the alienation and changes which occur
through the approach of the spiritual activities which are to
proceed from above.
"It must have been divinely ordained that we should be subject to
the dominion of darkness, in which God dwells in his fullness,
though we do not know it. We are curiously imprisoned within our own
physical organizations, and with all our advance in knowledge how
little we know of our own universe! ... We sit in darkness and the
shadow of death. Ignorance is the root cause both of suffering and
sin. We suffer because we do not know. Sin would be just as
impossible as pain if men knew the truth about life and were able to
pierce the darkness that conceals the face of God." - R. J.
CAMPBELL, Serm., Veil of Darkness.
