Vernon McGee, Thru the Bible commentary [computer…

The true pilgrim never wishes to enter the house Beautiful if he does not have a right to be there; he is afraid that he may be guilty…

There is a river flowing along in a gentle slope toward the sea. A boatman is upon it. His vessel is here, then it is there, and soon it will be at the river’s mouth.
