song upon foreseeing the fall of the king of Babylon , xiv . 4—19-The very term cy ^ sqoy ^ also , as well as yfAega , and cvga are often used to signify , not the exact time when an event will come to pass , but only the certainty that it will take place .

this day set thee over the nations , and over the kingdoms , to root out , and to pull down , ' * &e . Here , this day * is applied only to the period during which God imparted to Jeremiah an ability to predict future events .

John iv . 2 S , " The hour cometli , and now is , when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth .

From the specimens , then , which we have given of the language of prophecy it appears that our Lord , in Luke xxiii . 43 , did not intend to particularize the exact time when the malefactor would be in a state of happiness , but only to assure him that
his present anguish on the cross would certainly be succeeded by a happy condition of being in the next life . And Christ who manifested , during his ministry , that he well knew the characters of those with
whom he conversed , could accurately discern the fitness of this man for such a state . This case is quite singular . No one therefore can fairly apply it now to any person . In the interpretation of scripture it is necessary to attend closely to the peculiar circumstances in which our Lord spake , in the particular instance under consideration .
