7. They have cast fire into thy sanctuary. To this
day the enmity of the human heart is quite as great as ever; and, if providence
did not restrain, the saints would still be as fuel for the flames. They have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
When the Lord left Mount Zion, and the Roman garrison gained entrance, the
military fury led the soldiers to burn out and root up the memorial of the
famous House of the Lord. Could the powers of darkness have their way, a
similar fate would befall the church of Christ. Defilement to the church is
destruction; her foes would defile her till nothing of her purity, and
consequently of her real self, remained. Yet, even if they could wreak their
will upon the cause of Christ, they are not able to destroy it.
