1 Kings 6:18 And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen. "All was cedar; there was no stone seen." Take stone in the type for that which was really so, and in the antitype for that which is so mystically, and then it may import to us, that in heaven, the antitype of this holiest, there will never be anything of hardness of heart in them that possess it for ever. All imperfection ariseth from the badness of the heart, but there will be no bad hearts in glory. No shortness in knowledge, no crossness of disposition, no workings of lusts, no corruptions will be there. Here, alas, they are seen, and that in the best of saints, because here our light is mixed with darkness; but there will be no night there, nor any stone seen ( John Bunyan..) Parallel Verses KJV: And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen. |
