“The watchful care which God exerts over his people in times of danger is the chief lesson which we are taught.  It lays open to us the wonderful manner in which he who “declares the end from the beginning” provides beforehand for the execution of his purposes, for defeating the schemes of his adversaries, and rescuing those who put their trust in him.”  (Thomas McCrie; 1772-1835)
