The prophets were men called by God to serve as His messengers to a stubborn and unheeding people. They were always careful to point out that they were not voicing their own wisdom. Their warnings, entreaties, and promises were always prefaced by the awesome proclamation: "Thus says the Lord..." When the prophets did engage in prognostication, they usually were concerned with events which were fairly close at hand, such as the Assyrian conquest of Israel and the Babylonian conquest of Judah (both of which they foretold with deadly accuracy). But occasionally a prophet's vision ranged farther into the future, to the day when God would enter into a new covenant with his rebellious children. The hope of reconciliation was often linked with the coming of a very particular person, a Messiah or Savior.  What made the prophets so sure that they had a right--nay, a duty, to speak in the name of God? It is clear from their writings that they were not megalomaniacs who confused their own thoughts with the voice of God. On the contrary, they were humble men, awe-stricken by the responsibilities thrust upon them... The prophets minced no words in their indictments of the sins of Israel and Judah, and they trod especially hard on the toes of the rich, the powerful, and the pious. The Establishment responded then as some church members are wont to respond now when a preacher speaks out on controversial public issues: "One should not preach of such things!" (Micah 2:6).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like most endeavors, life is seriously over-advertised and under-funded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28065]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like most endeavors, life is seriously over-advertised and under-funded.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But they will maintain the state of the world; And all their desire is in the work of their craft. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62197]]></link><description><![CDATA[But they will maintain the state of the world; And all their desire is in the work of their craft.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59066]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don't have a J.O.B. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/963]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don't have a J.O.B.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Force always attracts men of low morality, and I believe it to be an invariable rule that tyrants of genius are succeeded by scoundrels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A piece of simple goodness--a letter gushing from the heart; a beautiful unstudied vindication of the worth and untiring sweetness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47820]]></link><description><![CDATA[A piece of simple goodness--a letter gushing from the heart; a beautiful unstudied vindication of the worth and untiring sweetness of human nature--a record of the invulnerability of man, armed with high purpose, sanctified by truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bastard Freedom waves Her fustian flag in mockery over slaves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16144]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bastard Freedom waves Her fustian flag in mockery over slaves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more, Or close the wall up with our English dead!
