The Apostate Church
The transgressions of the church give her enemies all their power against her ,calling the avenger from afar, and setting an edge on the sword of the persecutor."Where the carcase is", where the Spirit of religion has departed, and has left the body to corrupt and decay, "there the eagles are gathered together:" all the instruments of vengeance, terrestrial and infernal, flock ,by permission , to the prey. Had this not been the case with regard to Israel, Jerusalemwould have continued to be through all ages, what she was in the days of Solomon, the delight of the nations, and the joy of the whole earth.Horne
