! The discovery of America is fore
! told in the passage from Isaiah TX
!, "Surely the isles shall wait for me
and the ships of Tarshish, first t,
! bring thy sons from far" Tarshisl
.. | is the Hebrew for Spain, and thl
term isles" applied TO all cOuntrie:
west of Asia Minor.
4 America is the land (which ha:
always been waste" The Unitet
States is ''the people gathered out
of many nations" Our great fluvia
system answers to "a place of broad
rivers and streams" The old thir-
teen colonies answer to the thirteen
divisions of ancient Israel and OF
the Christian nation predicted by
Ezekiel. The royal proprietary and
charter colonies answer to "Kings
shall be thy nursing fathers, and
| Queens thy nursing methers." The
Republic answers to restoring thy
Judges as at first" Our unwalled
towns answer to EZekiel's descrip-
ton of Israels villages and cities.
Our unparalleled expansion Obeys
the cry, ''the place is too straight;
give place that may dwell" The
universally of Christian education
answers to "An thy children shall
be taught of the Lord" The topo-
graphical location of America is the
highest in the world, according to
Lieutenant Maury and it is, there
fore, the country to which "All shall
go up" Chinese emigration "a pre-
diction of Mr.. BaldWin's) answers
'Lo, these from the West and from
| the land of Sinim." The mental
service of foreign ROmaniStS CORE
spends to the blending of the
sons of them that afflicted thee"
and "the sons of strangers shall
build thy walls,' such as canals and
railroads. Constitutional rights to
foreigners are the inheritance
promised to strangers. The uniYer-
salty of language is predicted in
"Thou shall not see a people of
a deeper speech than thou canst
perceive" -
Israel signifies a wrestling with
God" The United States wrestled
with God in universal prayer and
tears IN its struggle for civil and
religious liberty.
The Hebrews crossed a sea to get
rid of bondage, and their exodus
answers to the Puritan exodus.
The Hebrews found frozen sea,
and so did the Pilgrims fathers.
Joseph had two portions of old
Israel, making thirteen tribes from
twelve. William Penn owned
Pennsylvania and Delaware. Both
men were imprisoned for their
virtue. t. ll.s
Three million Hebrews escaped
from bondage. This was the pOpu-
lation of the Colonies in 1776.
At the destruction of theEgyptian
tyrant's forces a general thanks
giving to God was decreed. The
American Congress made similar
decree at the defeat of England.
The Hebrew Confederacy adopted
a written democratic constitution;
so did the United States. In both
instances it was submitted to the
people for ratification. These two
are the only written ones known to
have been adopted by any nations
paior to 1776.
The Hebrew nationality grew out
of the Hebrew Church; the Ameri-
can out of the Christian. I'm
| believers enjoyed equal political
privileges with the faithful Hebrews.
Both Constitutions disunited Church
and State. In this connection Mr..
Baldwin says: THE disunion of
Church and State is the great pro-
phetic epoch of liberty and progress,
according to both Daniel and John.
1t is the beginning of the end OF
deSpotism, and when 1t fully
prevails the time of the end will
close and despotism will forever
cease on EARTH"
The political offices of theHebrews
were elective and foreigners, while
they were allowed to become ma
turalized, could not become Chief
Magistrates. All questions of war
peace were decided in General
Assembly.
These points of resemblance are
very striking when it is considered
that, according to Divine promise,
the restored Israel was to be the
counterpart of the Hebrew Republic
in Canaan. In all points, the history
of the origin, character and progress
of the United States comedies with
the sun, moon and twelve stars, with
the woman clothed with the sun,
and the moon under her feet. and
upon her head a crown of twelve
! stars" which are all twice-dOubled
| representation Of Israel. a woman
is common symbol of the Church
of God, and stars are the twelve
sons of tribes of Jacob, and repre-
sent the civil department of Gods
Israel.
From all his studies, Mr.. Baldwin
concludes that in 1878 will begiI
those events that will result, in {
brief period, in the overthrow Of
all Absolutism. By the aid of the
same mathematical, Astronomical
| and scriptural calculations by which
his first conclusions are arrived at
} he places this prediction on RECORD
twenty-four years ago: That in the
; year 1878 Turkey will have beer
l oVerthrown by Russia; that Eng
, land will have had trouble will
l Russia, and that in all monarcha
D governments socialist agitation
4 will have begun, destined to over
e throw them; that Russia will b
Q harrassed during this period b,
L severe internal disturbances, AM
that an uprising of socialist Gle
r ment will take place; Russia vii
e become the dominant power of Eu
d rope, but will finally yield to reput
r, lican principles as represented b
Z the United States. His prediction
d that the English monarchy will b
1t overthrow. accords with all Eng
s. lish prophecy. John is quoted a
