2 Samuel 7:16-17 And your house and your kingdom shall be established for ever before you: your throne shall be established for ever.… "If a man might have a cottage on a hundred years' lease, he would prize it much more than the possession of a palace for a day." Of course he would; and this it is which adds so much preciousness to the joys of heaven, for they are eternal. The pleasures of this world, however bright they seem, are but for this one day of life, which is already half over. If they were all they profess to be, and a thousand times more, they would not be worthy to be mentioned in comparison with "pleasures for evermore" at God's right hand. ( C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. |
