Homilist Joshua 23:14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls… I. A man dying IN PHILOSOPHIC CALMNESS: "I am going the way of all the earth." 1. It is not a strange road. All that have ever been, have gone through it; and all that ever will be, must. 2. It is not an avoidable road. To complain is useless. II. A man dying FULLY SATISFIED WITH GOD: "Not one thing hath failed," &c. 1. That God had promised "good things." 2. That all the "good things" promised had come. III. A man dying WITH SPIRITUAL INTEREST IN SURVIVORS: "Ye know," &c. He wished his contemporaries and survivors to cherish confidence in God when he was gone. (Homilist.) Parallel Verses KJV: And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof. |
