The Psalmist says, "there _is_ a river; the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her"--46: 4, 5. Jeremiah says, "A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our _sanctuary_." xvii: 12. The Psalmist replies, "For he hath looked down from the height of his _sanctuary_; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth." cii: 19. (If he had said _sanctuary_ instead of earth, we should not have been easily moved from our former exposition.) "The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven." xi: 4. Paul says to the Hebrews, "We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the majesty, in the heavens; a minister of the _sanctuary_ and of the _true_ Tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man." Heb. viii: 1, 2. "For the _invisible things_ of Him from the creation of the world are _clearly_ seen, being understood by the _things that are made_." Rom. i: 20. Paul tells the Hebrews how they may understand these _invisible_ things, which he says are _clearly seen_. See viii. c., 5 v. "Shadow of heavenly things." For see, (saith he) "that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount." Now then, whenever we want to understand about the heavenly _sanctuary_, we must turn to Moses's description of the sanctuary in the wilderness, which he made after the pattern God gave him; which Paul says were shadows of heavenly things. How will a man dare (in the face of all this inspired testimony) to stand here on God's earth, and assert that the heavenly sanctuary with all that pertains to it is a FIGURE, and spiritualize it away. It would be ten thousand times easier for him to spiritualize the old Tabernacle and Solomon's Temple, seeing the one that is to come as far exceeds the temple of Solomon or Nehemiah, (although, it is allowed, that nothing on earth ever exceeded them) as the most splendid palace of the king does the sentry box of his guard. Much safer would it be for him to teach that the rocks had never been rent, or as he passed the streets in the afternoon and saw the shadow of the buildings, should insist upon it that the shadows were real, but the buildings, which cast the shadows, were spiritual. Such doctrine should be ranked with Mahometanism and Jesuitism, save their demoniac spirit; it comes from the "bottomless pit and will go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth will wonder." Rev. xvii: 8. But I wish to present further evidence of the real (not spiritual) coming of this heavenly _sanctuary_. Ezekiel says in his 37th chapter, where God has promised his spirit and life to the whole house of Israel, "Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an _everlasting_ covenant with them, and I will place them and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore; my _tabernacle_ also shall
