CONCLUDING REMARKS ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO TIMOTHY.
This Epistle bears the impress of its genuineness and
authenticity, which are corroborated by the most decisive
external evidence; and its Divine inspiration is attested by the
exact accomplishment of the prediction which it contains
respecting the apostasy in the latter days. This prophecy is
similar in the general subject to that in the second Epistle to
the Thessalonians, though it differs in the particular
circumstances; and exactly corresponds with that of the prophet
Daniel on the same subject, (Da 11:38.) This important
prediction might be more correctly rendered, "Now the Spirit
speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall
apostatize from the faith, giving heed to erroneous spirits, and
doctrines concerning demons, through the hypocrisy of liars,
having their consciences seared with a hot iron, forbidding to
marry, and commanding to abstain from meats," etc. How
applicable these particulars are to the corruptions of the
Church of Rome need scarcely be insisted on. The worship of
saints in that church is essentially the same with the worship
of demons among the heathen; which has been established in the
world by books forged in the name of the Apostles and saints, by
lying legends of their lives, by false miracles ascribed to
their relics, and by fabulous dreams and relations; while
celibacy was enjoined and practised under pretence of chastity,
and abstinence under pretence of devotion. None but the SPIRIT
OF GOD could foresee and foretell these remarkable events.
