The New York Pulpit in the Revival of 1858: A Memorial Volume of Sermons (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The New York Pulpit in the Revival of 1858: A Memorial Volume of SermonsThus saith the Lord God: I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them I will increase them with men like a flock. As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts. - ezekiel, XXXVI. 37, 38.When Israel in the text is encouraged to inquire of God, we may apply it to ourselves for if we confine all the more ancient Scriptures to the literal Hebrews, we condemn much apostolic reasoning, and cut Ourselves Off from precious promises.The text predicts a great increase. I will increase them with men like a flock, or with flocks of men: as the holy flock, or the flock of holy ones, as the flock Of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts. At the three great festivals, Jerusalem was crowded both with animals and men. One or both of these may furnish the comparison.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
