Neither Christ nor heaven can be hyperbolized! – Thomas Brooks
What are all . . .
the silks of Persia,
the spices of Egypt,
the gold of Ophir, and
the treasures of both Indies compared to the glory of heaven?
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him!” 1 Corinthians 2:9
One of the ancients says, “Our conception of heaven, is as a little drop from the sea. For those glorious things of heaven are . . .
so many that they exceed number,
so great that they exceed measure,
so precious that they are above all estimation!”
Says another, “Do you ask me what heaven is? When I meet you there, I will tell you!”
Says Jerome, “Are you able to put the whole earth, and all the waters of the sea into a little pot? Can you hold the oceans in your hand? Can you measure the heavens with your fingers or weigh the hills and mountains with a scale? Just so, it is impossible that you can comprehend the least of the joys of heaven! Certainly, the least of the joys of heaven are inconceivable and inexpressible!
Neither Christ nor heaven can be hyperbolized!
You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand!” Psalm 16:11
They feast on the abundance of Your house; You give them drink from Your river of delights!” Psalm 36:8
