That holiness shall prevail to an unexampled extent. 3. That the millennial period will be distinguished by happiness and peace altogether unexampled in any previous period of the history of the Church of Christ. II. SOME PASSAGES WHICH SEEM PLAINLY TO INDICATE THAT SUCH A PERIOD SHALL ARRIVE (Psalm 72; Isaiah 55:1; Romans 11:12, 15; Revelation 14:6). III. EXHIBIT THE TRIUMPHS OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST DURING THE DAYS OF MILLENNIAL BLESSEDNESS. (A. Fletcher, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. |
