LITERAL INTERPRETATION.            25

      That His throne shall be in Jerusalem,
                                  Jer. 3:17; Isa. 33:20-21.
      That the Apostles shall sit upon twelve thrones, judg-
         ing the twelve tribes of Israel,
                                 Mat. 19:28; Lu. 22:28-30.
      That He shall rule all nations,  Psa. 2 :8-9 ; Rev. 2 :27.
      That He shall rule with judgment and justice,  Isa. 9 :7.
      That the Temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt
            (Ezek. chapters 40-48), and the glory of the
           Lord will come into it,    Ezek. 43 :2-5 ; 44 :4.
      That the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,  Isa. 40 :5.
      That the wilderness shall be a fruitful field,  Isa. 32 :15.
      That the desert will blossom as the rose,  Isa. 35 :l-2.
      And His rest shall be glorious,        Isa. 11:10.
      And many more we might mention.
        Surely, there is no symbolism in these plain prophecies,
      which gives us any authority to "spiritualize" them. Rather
                                      fulfill these as He
      let us expect that He will as literally
      did the others at His first coming.
