The Spirit of God as Fire; the Globe Within the Sun Our Heaven

The Spirit of God as Fire; the Globe Within the Sun Our Heaven is a philosophical book by D. Mortimore that ties together the concepts of spirituality, religion and astronomy with a view to forming a greater view about existence. Excerpt: «Now you will remember that the heathen, in ancient times—and even so with them at the present day—were always dismayed and frightened at the recurrence of an eclipse of the Sun, and imagined the time of the world had come to an end. But the science of astronomy has comprehended the laws of nature, and has revealed the true causes of these seeming phenomena to the enlightenment of the world, and many years previous to their occurrence. Astronomers can foretell the day, the hour, and even the very moment when they will appear, or be visible in any part of the world, as, also, when they will disappear. But we see, however, that God himself has spoken of such eclipses as „signs in the heaven,“ and yet they are eclipses of the Sun.»
