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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Isocrates adviseth Demonicus, when he came to a strange city, to worship by all means the gods of the place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62303]]></link><description><![CDATA[Isocrates adviseth Demonicus, when he came to a strange city, to worship by all means the gods of the place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29854]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are what we think.
