Are ISaiah's Prophecies
to Be Fulfilled?

Isaiah OF Jerusalem, the great prophet whose
sermons are preserved in the first thirty.nine
chapters OF the book bearing his name, speaks
frequently OF the Messanic age, for he foresaw
the downfall OF Judah. He declared that after
Its exile to Babylon the people would return
and rebuild the Temple and re-establsh the
government OF Palestine This prophecy was
fulfilled, more or less, under Zerubbabel. who
was Of the Davidian stock, and leader of the
returning exiles; but as many OF his prophecie
were not fulfilled. and the Temple and country
were destroyed by the Romans In the year 20
A. D., both Jews and Christians reinterpreted
his words of promise and made them apply to
a new r storat'o which is still to come His
propher again Damascus is again brc dght
forward by present events. and now that the AT
tacks of the allies are being centered upon the
DardaneIles. from which they will tur; to an
Invasion OF Asia Minor, lying south Of these
straits, this prophecy from Isaiah chapter xviii,
Is pointed out as about to be fulfilled:
]. The burden OF Damascus. Behold Damas.
Gus Is taken away from Being a city, and It
shall be ruinous heap.
2. The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they
shall be for 1ocks. which shall lie down, and
none shall make them afaid.
3. The fortress also shall cease from
Ephram and the kingdom from Damascus, and
the remnant OF Syria: they shall be as the
glory of the children Of Israel, saith the Lord
Of hosts.
The greatest prophet who lived at the time
of the destruction of Jerusalem. jeremiah,
who saw the desolation OF the land. and lived
to lead some Of his people to Egypt was most
exact in his prophecy. as quoted on this page.
in which he states that within seventy years
the Temple will be rebuilt But his words are
by many believers interpreted as pointing to
the day when the Jews will be- restored to
their own. The verses printed under the head

The millennium and
the End of the World

In Matthew. Chapter xiv, they read that
when the disciples asked Jesus What shall
be the sign Of thy coming, and of the end of
the world?' He answered warning them not to
let any one deceive them, saying: "Ye shall
hear OF wars and rumors Of wars; see that
come to pass. but the end is not yet" After
telling them OF the many evils that would be.
fall mankind, He declared: And then shall
