The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1861-09-07


mense substance Their eyes must be
turned to Palestine. and to the fe-establish-
ing Of government Of their own and, the
gathering of their own people. the Jews,
must, in the natural course of things, be-
come favorite project of the Rothschilds
Their wealth and political power fully pre-
pare them for such an undertaking. That
movement, of itself would hasten the down
fall of European thrones, from toe fact that
the removal of their funds from those gov
ernments would produce q financial crisis
that must overthrow the monarchies of
Europe.
Let me now examine the prophecies. and
see if am warranted in saying that the
Jews will fee from those governments, or
come out from them and re estsblish gov
eminent of their own.
In Luke xxi, 1881, I'VE are told how
they shall know when the term Of their de-
liverancs drsWeth nigh: "And He spake
unto them . parable :: Behold the fig tree,
and all the trees when they now shoot
forth, ye see and know Of yourselves that
summer is nigh at hand. So likewise ye,
when ye see these things come to pass,
know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at
hand" This illustration is very forcible,
but have not room to comment.
Turn to the Gath verse, and we read
thus land they shall fall by the edge of
the sword, and shall be led away captive
into all nations; and Jerusalem shall be
trodden down of the Gentiles. until the
times of the Gentiles be fulfilled
On this verse may be allowed to say
that some contend that this whole chapter
had ful6llment at the destruction of Jeru-
salem but when they prove that the times
of the Gentiles were fulfilled at the destruc-
ton of the temple, I shall believe them-not
before.
The exposition of verse ga" Until the
times of the Gentiles be fulflled"-cannot
be made TO mean that the treading under
foot was never to cease, but the reverse,
viz: that q time would come when that
desolation should terminate, and Jerusalem
be no longer trodden under foot. To say
otherwise, is to contradict some of the
plainest prophecies of the Bible. For ex-
ample: Jer. XXI, 38-40-" Behold the
days come, saith the Lord, that the city
shall be built to the Lord from the tower OF
Hannaneel unto the gate of the Corner
And the measuring line shall yet go forth
over against it upon the hill of Gareh, and
compass about to Goath. And all the fields
unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner
of the horse-g gate toward the east, shall be
holy unto the Lord it shall not be plucked
nor thrown down forever" This prophecy
of Jeremiah is future, and will be accom-
plished in the delivelance of Jerusalem
from the Gentiles, and the rebuilding of the
| city.
Time and space will not allow me tc
make quotations. 1 will give chapter and
verse, and let the reader refer to those pass
ages, and read for himself: Psalms xxi
ct; Ps. lxxii, 1913; Ps. eli. 1899
Haggai ii, 21-22-see verses and Z
Here the state (both ecclesiastical and civil,
of the nations Is described Shaken to
pieces-not knowing what to do with them
selves-desiring deliverer, but ignorant
of where he is to come from-and yet bt
appears. Paul, in his epistle to the He
brews, applies this prophecy to the time o
the establishment of the immovable king
dom of God (Heb. xii, 26-98); or in othe
words, to the second advent of Christ wher
the kingdoms of this world are to becom,
the kingdom of God and his Christ, whose
reign is to be ''forever and ever"
