Bible Comments

And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that [were] there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned [them] upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.

Our blind eyes see nothing but that which toucheth their lids: the quick sight of God's prescience sees that as present which is a world afar off.
