WHEN THE MESSIAH COMES.
A Great Feast That Has Been Foretoid
BY q Rabbi of Israel.

A Great Feast That Has Been Foretoid
by Rabbi of Israel.
The greatest discordance prevails
among Jewish doctors respecting the
time of Messiah's anticipated coming,
many of them believing that his ap-
pearance is delayed by the iniquities OF
the people of Israel. Rabbi Machir,
who lived at the end of the fourteenth
century, describes numerous commo-
tons, prodigies and signs that are to
precede that great event He says:
When Israel shall be gathered from
all nations and brought to the land of
their forefathers, and the Messiah shall
have rebuilt the city, he will celebrate
at a gracious reception, at which every
one shall be seated at golden table.
At this feast he will entertain himself
and company with great battle be-
tween Behemoth and Leviathan. The
feats of Behemoth will be highly graft
flying, and Leyiathan will come armed
with his scales as breast-plate and
covered with a coat of mail The battle
will be fierce, but neither will be vic
torious. Both will fall exhausted, when
Messiah, with a great, strong sword,
will slay them both. These tremen-
dous beasts, together with the bird, Bar
Jachne, are then to be spitted and laid
to the fire. Bread will then be obtained
from wheat that will greatly surpass
the growth of our days, as much as Bar
Jachne exceeds n common bird in size.
Sauce will be yielded to perfection in
the sailed LeSiathan, and the dessert
to consist of all the delicious products
of the Garden of Eden, including even
some of the fruit of the tree of life.
The guests are to be treated to ex-
| quisite wine made from the fruit grown
in paradise Immediately after the Gre
alton and preserved in Adams wine
cellar for this great occasion. Toward
the end of the feast the Messiah will fill
cup for the guests, over which they
are to say grace, and the Messiah will
be requested to perform this office, but
God will offer it to Michael, Michael to
Gabriel, Gabriel to Abraham, Abraham
to Isaac, Isaac to Moses, Moses to
Joshua, but each will decline in success
sion. Then God will assign it to David.
The cup will contain about pa gallons.
What remains Of the provisions after
the feast is over will be divided among
the guests, who will sell the same in
the market of Jerusalem. With part of
the skin Of Leviathan will be made tab
ernacles, pavilions or awnings for the
just, and the rest will be spread upon
the walls of Jerusalem, diffusing light
to the extremities of the world The
banquet will be followed and the festi-
val concluded by dancing and music.
The Messiah is afterward to marry,
having the daughters of kings for
wives, but one of the most beautiful
virgins of Israel as principal wife or
queen st. Louis Republic.
