I heard/ says the Apostle, ' the voice of harpers, harping upon their harps.'1 It has however been objected to such passages, that they are merely figurative, and cannot be doudoune parajumpers considered as conclusive of the existence of what we term music in heaven. Now even allowing for a moment, that the Apostle makes use of metaphorical language, yet the argument will not greatly suffer. If the whole scene were purely visionary, and had no existence but in the mind of the dreamer, yet no one will venture to assert, that it was the wild and fortuitous play of a poetic fancy. No one would presume, that the emblems were wantonly employed, and not under the immediate inspiration of the Holy Spirit. There was the Saviour, and there were his redeemed people magnifying his name. Whatever was the mode of their expression, the Apostle heard it, understood its meaning, and was influenced by its power. If it were purely of a celestial and spiritual character, still to render it intelligible he would naturally search for some earthly object, whose effects might approximate most nearly to those experienced by him.

However, therefore, the harmonies of heaven and those of earth may vary in degree, there must, by every principle of interpretation, be admitted some analogy in kind,—if only that between a type and its reality—a shadow and its substance. And thus it may be boldly assumed, that nothing in the whole compass of nature bears so near a resemblance to the celestial mode of thanksgiving as music ; — an idea, in perfect conformity with right reason, which comprehends not, how there can exist an expression of praise without utterance, or harmony without sound.But what is the great stumbling-block to the literal interpretation of canada goose pas cher this clear passage ? St. John declares positively, parajumpers femme pas cher that, in his trance, being admitted into heaven, he heard 4 the voice of harpers harping upon their harps;'—what causes us in this case to swerve from plainly understanding what he plainly declares ? Its materiality! It Moncler pas cher reduces heaven to earth !
