The Immutability of GOD
"But then, dear friends, let us look at the past: and there we shall
gather some proofs of God's immutable nature. "Hath he spoken, and hath he not
done it? Hath he sworn, and hath it not come to pass?" Can it not be said of
Jehovah, "He hath done all his will, and he hath accomplished all his purpose?"
Turn ye to Philistia; ask where she is. God said, "Howl Ashdod, and ye gates of
Gaza, for ye shall fall;" and where are they? Where is Edom? Ask Petra and its
ruined walls. Will they not echo back the truth that God hath said, "Edom shall
be a prey, and shall be destroyed?" Where is Babel, and where Nineveh? Where
Moab and where Ammon? Where are the nations God hath said he would destroy? Hath
he not uprooted them and cast out the remembrance of them from the earth? And
hath God cast off his people? Hath he once been unmindful of his promise? Hath
he once broken his oath and covenant, or once departed from his plan? Ah! no.
Point to one instance in history where God has changed! Ye cannot, sirs; for
throughout all history there stands the fact that God has been immutable in his
purposes."
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
