sitteth on the throne shall dwell amon them ;" the
ume aa m Rev. ~r 6, "And they livef and reigned
with him," in the New Jerusalem etate; for he goes on
to descrihe this state of happiness, which John does in
Rev. xxi 1-45, compared with the two following,
and there can be no doubt on the mind that John is de
scribing the same in one place as in the other. They
shnll hunger no more, neither thiit any more; neih
shall the sun light on them, nor any hest For the
Lamb, which is in the midst of the throne, shall feed
them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of
waters; and God shall wipe away all team from their
eyea" There can be no doubt left on mind of any
man, that John has, in these passagea, gwen M a view

@e seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the
space of half an hour.n Zechariah says, ii f3, Be
silent, 0 all flesh, before tlie Lord ; for he is raised up
out of his holy habitation !" IIabakkuk says, u ZO, Bur
the Lord is in his hol tem le; let all the earth keep
silence before him!'7 F~ tliese pamgea I should
infeh that when God arises up to the prey, when hb
great white throne is set in the heavens, and when the

wcr and great glory, tiicn will all flesh be silent

wliole universe of rationnl beiV who ma bo permitted
to witness thni pnd scene, rill be so filid with wonder
and awe at the sight of thc glo of God, that they
will be silcnt. Then, too, will ge rcdeomed souls,
