than the Anglo-Saxons; who, therefore, must be God's servant, Israel. Now, Gentlemen of the Cloth,-University professors not barred,—it is no use sidestepping this question. Either these statements are true or they are false. If they are true, God's Kingdom is right here on earth with a visible enduring dynasty ruling over it just as foretold to David King of Israel (Psalm 89), and it will continue till Christ comes to rule His kingdom. Moreover, you don't have to die to be of it nationally; every believer in Christ, as St. Paul says, is of Israel. Mr. W. Pascoe Goard in the national message of the Bible writes: The Bible knows a threefold presentation of the kingdom of God. 1. The universal kingdom of God "The Lord hath set His throne in the heavens and His kingdom ruleth over all." Manifestly this is not the throne upon which David reigned. 2. The national kingdom of God on Mount Zion, of which we shall have more to say. This was David's kingdom. 3. The ecclesiastical, or spiritual kingdom, of which, for instance, the Lord spoke to Nicodemus. "Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." This constitutes the apostolic message of the Church, and with that we shall not deal further. Regarding the national kingdom of God established upon Mount Zion, let us make enquiry. Of that Kingdom certain general things may be said in order to give direction to our thoughts. It is not an universal kingdom! It is not a kingdom established at its inception, over all men, nor over all nations! It is not exclusively a spiritual kingdom, but a national and material kingdom, over which has been set a very material throne! The purpose of this kingdom of Jehovah among the nations seems to resemble the purpose of Jesus Christ among individual men. It is the enlightener, the leader, the librator, and the savior of the nations. It seems indeed to be God's plan to save men, one by one, through the redemption wrought out by Jesus Christ the Saviour, and to save nations by the ministry of the chosen nation. What excuse will avail for being a blind leader of the blind when God's Word, which we are told to search, is so plainly written that the ordinary man who searches the Scriptures can read and understand? How much good will it do you, Gentlemen of the Cloth, to plead: "The higher critics misled me!" Were you, gentlemen, bidden to study the higher critics or to "search the Scriptures"? You were specifically bidden to find the sheep that were lost, "the flock of my pasture" and this flock according to the Word "are men"; the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel were His "lost sheep," "his flock." What have you or your church done to find them? Mostly nothing. Well its up to you! Now here is another waymark. When Jacob was on his way from Beersheba to Haran, he stopped at Luz, and that night he had a wonderful vision of a ladder reaching from earth to heaven and angels of God ascending and descend ing upon it, and the Lord stood above it and told him his seed should be as the dust of the earth and in his seed all the families of the earth should be blessed and He would be with him and keep him. When Jacob awaked out of his sleep he was much awed, and he said, "This is none other but the house of God" and he not only called the name of the place Bethel (meaning house of God) but he anointed the stone whereon he had slept and called that the house of God. (Gen. 28:22.) So Israel used this symbol to remind them of God's presence. In their travels they took this venerated stone representing to their minds God's house. Iron rings were inserted in either end to slip a pole through, for ease in transporting as they moved, and it was placed in a tent when they rested. A recent examination shows the iron rings to be worn to paper thinness and as it has only moved a few hundred miles since it was brought to Ireland by Jeremiah in 576-8 B.C., all this wear must have taken place during its moving from place to place with Israel before it reached Ireland. Throughout the Old Testament a stone or rock is frequently mentioned, and considering their regard for the stone which Jacob called God's house, it is not difficult to believe that it was this same stone which was referred to in Exodus 17, when Moses smote the "rock," and this may be what the margin refers to as the "throne of the |
