We may conclude, then, that all the promises and predictions in Scripture relative to the future glories of the Jews and of Jerusalem, are to be understood of the Christian church, of which the Jewish church was a figure; and all that is said of feasting, and splendor, and wealth, and worldly greatness and enjoyment, is to be interpreted spiritually of the inward comfort and peace of mind, and "joy of the Holy Ghost", which is promised to sincere Christians in this life, and of the unspeakable happiness prepared for them after death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pitcher goes so often to the fountain (that if gets broken). [Sp., Tantas veces va el cantarillo a la ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54041]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pitcher goes so often to the fountain (that if gets broken). [Sp., Tantas veces va el cantarillo a la fuente.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When aiming for the common denominator, be prepared for the occasional division by zero. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17612]]></link><description><![CDATA[When aiming for the common denominator, be prepared for the occasional division by zero.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intel has announced its next chip: the Repentium. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9413]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intel has announced its next chip: the Repentium.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The woman who tells her age is either too young to have anything to lose or too old to have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1863]]></link><description><![CDATA[The woman who tells her age is either too young to have anything to lose or too old to have anything to gain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My background is somewhat unusual, as I trained to be a ballet dancer.
