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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the fireflies, Wah-wah-taysee, Waved their torches to mislead him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16030]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the fireflies, Wah-wah-taysee, Waved their torches to mislead him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, I must be patient; there is no fettering of authority. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, I must be patient; there is no fettering of authority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any time you seem to gain momentum, they snatch it right back with a big shift right away or a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28810]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any time you seem to gain momentum, they snatch it right back with a big shift right away or a couple of shifts later.
