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[Then press my lips, where plays a flame of bliss,-- A pure and holy love-light,--and forsake  The angel for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then press my lips, where plays a flame of bliss,-- A pure and holy love-light,--and forsake  The angel for the woman in a kiss,   At once I wis,    My soul will wake!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48316]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The destruction of the poor is their poverty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48638]]></link><description><![CDATA[The destruction of the poor is their poverty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fall of dropping water wears away the stone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46180]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fall of dropping water wears away the stone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[John Bunyan understood the Gospel when he wrote that tract, "The Jerusalem Sinner Saved."

He knew that every sinner is a Jerusalem sinner who has crucified the Lord of Glory; and to whom, notwithstanding all this, the grace of God is exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. Therefore the Apostle Paul himself is a pattern... of the grace of God abounding to the Christ-crucifiers. A new covenant is made with those who transgressed the first covenant. It is the brethren of Joseph, who have sold him into Egypt, who are made the partakers of Joseph's power and of Joseph's riches.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It created quite a mess here in Massachusetts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35385]]></link><description><![CDATA[It created quite a mess here in Massachusetts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35385</guid></item></channel></rss>
