That
which is wrong under one circumstance, may be, and often is, right under
another. God said, "Thou shalt not kill;" at another time
He said, "Thou shalt utterly destroy." This is the principle
on which the government of heaven is conducted--by revelation adapted
to the circumstances in which the children of the kingdom are placed.
Whatever God requires is right, no matter what it is, although we may
not see the reason thereof till long after the events transpire....
