According to the prophecy of Micah, the messianic Shepherd of Israel had to be born in Bethlehem. It is unthinkable that an heir to the throne of David could be born in Bethlehem now, and be also able to prove his legitimacy by documentary evidence. The event must clearly have taken place already, or Micah is a false prophet, a raiser of false hopes, along with the other writers in the Old Testament.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Or did the soul of Orpheus sing Such notes as, warbled to the string,  Drew iron tears down Pluto's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or did the soul of Orpheus sing Such notes as, warbled to the string,  Drew iron tears down Pluto's cheek.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like a house.
