Christ now bespeaks thee, (as she her Husband) Arise and take possession, 1 Kings 21. 15. View the glory of the other world as set forth in the map of the Gospel. Get thee up into Pisgah of the promises, and lift up thine eyes westward, northward, southward, and eastward, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, and that goodly mountain. Behold the Paradise of God, watered with the streams of glory. Arise and walk through the land, in the length of it, and in the breadth of it, for all the land which thou seest, the Lord will give it to thee for ever, if thou wilt but return, Gen. 13. 14, 15, 17.
