Prophetic history

Hamann from “Golgotha and Sheblimini”: “the entire range of human events and the whole course of their vicissitudes would be encompassed and divided into subsections just as the starry firmament is divided into figures, without knowing the stars’ number. Hence the entire history of the Jewish people, by the allegory of their ceremonial law, appears to be a living mind- and heart-rousing primer of all historical literature in heaven, on and under the earth – an adamantine hint forward to the Jubilee year and a state-plan for divine rule over all creation from its beginning to its close. The prophetic riddle of a theocracy is reflected in the fragments of this smashed vessel.”
