An Address To Free Coloured Americans - 9781544600581

Let us turn our eyes on God's chosen people and learn a lesson fraught with fearful instruction.-As the time of their downfall approached, when for their manifold transgressions they were to be blotted out for a season, as a nation, God multiplied the number of his witnesses among them. Most of the prophets whose writings have come down to us, lived either a short time before, or were cotemporary with the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar; the warning voices of Jeremiah and Ezekiel were raised at this juncture, to save if possible their guilty nation-with the women as well as the men they expostulated, and admonished them of impending judgments, but the people scornfully replied to Jeremiah-"As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken unto thee, but we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our mouth." "Therefore, thus saith the Lord-ye have not hearkened unto me in proclaiming liberty every one to his brother, and every one to his neighbor-behold I proclaim a liberty for you saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence and to the famine.
