Eternity
Psalm 133:3
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended on the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing…


The thought of eternity is in us all — a presentiment and a consciousness; and that universal presentiment itself goes far to establish the reality of the unseen order of things to which it is directed. The great planet that moves on the outmost circle of our system was discovered because that next it wavered in its course in a fashion which was inexplicable, unless some unknown mass was attracting it from across millions of miles of darkling space. And there are "perturbations" in our spirits which cannot be understood, unless from them we may divine that far-off and unseen world, that has power from afar to sway in their orbits the little lives of mortal men.

(A. Maclaren, D. D.)
