CHAPTER VI.

Now, if you believe in the inspiration of our Bible, you will understand from Moses' speech in the previous chapter that somewhere on this round earth are a people who have the choicest inheritance ever bequeathed to men, and further, there was no time limit mentioned when this unlimited inheritance would not be in force.

Every prophecy in the Bible inspired by God has come to pass, or it must and will, in its proper and ordained time. Moses' correct estimate of the character of Joseph and his knowledge of divine law enabled him to foresee the great prosperity which was bound to come to the children of Joseph, and he knew that his words were to be fulfilled in the same way that Jesus knew, when he said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. "Christ came not to do away with the law but to fulfil the law and the prophets.

If you were asked to-day, "Where are the nations who have the choicest blessings ever vouchsafed to mankind and what nations have carried God's blessing of peace as laid down by Moses?" who would you say had them? Would

you say that our splendid ally, France, had inherited them when she has been overrun time after time throughout the ages?-as when she had her Reign of Terror and when she was bled white by Napoleon, etc., etc.? Would you say it was Russia that enjoyed all the good things of this earth while she was ground under by the Czars for centuries and to-day groans under a more diabolical regime than ever before afflicted her people? Is it Poland, dismembered for centuries? Is it Austria-Hungry, the ramshackle empire now reaping the fruits of her years of subservience to Germany? Is it Italy, overrun by invaders century after century? Is it Spain, Bulgaria, Servia, Greece, Turkey or Iceland? Is it Africa or China that fill these specifications by having God's choicest gifts bestowed upon them as nations? Any intelligent man can verify prophecies of the Bible by histories written hundreds and thousands of years since these promises were made by Moses, and can see that, of all the citizens of this round earth, to one people and only one do these blessings of Jehovah apply,-namely, to the Anglo-Saxon commonwealths or nations of which the United States of America is such a large factor.

If any of your great-grandfathers had bequeathed you the wealth of a small portion of the everlasting hills now controlled by, say, the Guggenheimers, you would, I imagine, be scratching

gravel until you could establish your descent from the aforementioned great-grandfather. Well, the Guggenheimers have not the billionth part of America's national estate bequeathed to the eldest son of Joseph and his heirs as depicted in the 33rd chapter of Deuteronomy. You were to have an immense assortment of wealth: your land was to be blessed in everyway and you do not have to die to obtain it; you get it right on earth, as it is the visible tangible wealth that your banks lend money upon. Surely America has in her portion the wealth of the dew and rain; the wealth of the precious fruits brought forth by the sun and the moon; the wealth of fertile fields and valleys; the wealth of coal fields, oil fields, copper, silver, gold and the blessings of peaceful work.

As a parcel is tied with a cord, so are the tribes of Israel. Jacob is the cord that ties together God's inheritance, according to Deuteronomy 32:5: "For the Lord's portion is his pecple; Jacob is the lot (marg. "cord") of his inheritance."

When Germany and her partners in sin, seen and unseen, "the house of the evildoers" that "work iniquity," set out to break the cord of understanding and goodwill that binds all AngloSaxondom together, what was the result? Just what the Psalmist said (Ps. 2:2-4):

2. "The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together [Germany, Austria,

Turkey], against the Lord, and against his anointed [Israel], saying,

3. "Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4. "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision."

Were they held in derision by the Creator? It certainly looks like it. Germany lost all those waste places of the earth that she had spent years and billions of marks in building up, besides losing Alsace and Loraine, etc., etc. Her co-partner, the ramshackle empire, is dismembered and dying. Turkey has lost about everything she held dear, Mecca, Jerusalem and Constantinople.

Did they break the bands of the Lord's anointed (Israel)? Well, not that you would notice! Ask of that young Prince of Israel, David, Edward, Prince of Wales, if the bands of the Empire were broken asunder by the assaults of the "evildoers" who "work iniquity." Rather has the war brought to the attention of all who speak the English tongue the fact that if the world is to be saved from anarchy, they, with God's help, are the only peoples who can accomplish such a stupendous task.

I am willing to stake my reputation as a business man on Moses' blessing pronounced upon Joseph's descendants, the American and British sections of Israel.

If we find that the Bible promises of over three thousand years ago about the material

things we were to receive on this earth have been fulfilled, then one may fairly deduce that those spiritual promises not yet fulfilled on this earth and to be fulfilled hereafter must certainly come true. Is that not a reasonable deduction? Do these fulfillments not prove that the Bible is the inspired book it professes to be?-because three thousand years is a long stretch to look ahead and forecast a great people's material prosperity. Leastwise it seems so to my way of thinking.

Note that Israel was to be set on high above

all the nations of the earth.

"And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the Lord thy God. The Lord thy God will set thee [Israel] on high above all nations of the earth.” (Deut. 27:9; 28: 1.)

This you see was not a church set on high, but was a nation to be set above all other nations. Where, I ask, is that nation to-day that is set on high above all others? Has the promise failed? Just read through the promises made to all Israel in the foregoing two chapters and the punishments they were to receive for not obeying His commandments. They have indeed come true as the ages have rolled round.

See Deuteronomy 30:1-3; and it won't hurt you, even unaccustomed as you may be to Bible reading, to read right through to Chapter 33:13,
