Homilist Isaiah 60:17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron… The golden age of humanity is in the future. This age is here represented as so far excelling all future ages as gold excels brass. Morally this may include three things. I. THAT FOR PRACTICAL ATHEISM THERE WILL BE GODLINESS. II. THAT FOR DOMINANT MATERIALISM THERE WILL BE SPIRITUALITY. III. THAT FOR CONTROLLING SELFISHNESS THERE WILL BE BENEVOLENCE. (Homilist.) Parallel Verses KJV: For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness. |
