would result In the division of nearly the
whole of continental Europe between
these two great Powers, an event which
does not seem ut all improbable. In this
view of the matter, Russia and Germany
would be the feet of the great image, and
the ten toe-kingdOmA over which their
dominion would extend, would constitute
the toes. 81
1t is not to be supposed that Great Brit
ain will be u disintereEed spectator of
these mighty events. From purely polit-
ical and selfish motives. for tile PURPOSE Of
protecting her East India possessions. and
with no generous love for the Hebrews
whatsoever, she will doubtless Seek to col
Oiiizc the Jews in the land OF Judea as rap
idly but as quietly as possible, and thus
establish an independent nation between
herself and her dreaded enemies.
1t Is worthy OF remark that In the Sep

then the prophet Ezekiel was commanded
to prophecy against Cog, and say, Thus

the SIXTH PART Of thee, andi will cause
thee to come from the PANTS, and

that Russia is north of Judea, and it seems
that the vast army, LOf which only! one

To understand this fully 1t must be re-
