Spudhole Plays with Death

Bowdy, splendid veteran of a hun
dred battles that he was, bent low un-
der the parapet and let his cigarette
drop into the muck. The rest of the
men looked stupidity at one another
and were silent. Only one man seemed
to keep his spirits up, and that was
Spudhole, the self-appointed guardian
of the Ypres mine.
He kept his head over the parapet
his hand on his rife, his eyes lit up
with the light of an artist who looks
on a completed work. Not being a tall
boy and his face being covered with
dirt and clay, he resembled the inyul-
nerable dwarf Of the combat. The
flying clods of earth and fragments OF
wreckage fell about him, but ne was
not touched; he played a game Of hide
and seek with death.
The sound OF the explosion died down
and Bowdy got 10 his feet. He fixed
his eyes on Spudhole and noticed that
the cockney was still smoking his ciga-
rette.
"A whole dozen of them must have
gone up at the same time said
Bowdy.
"And the whole damned lot of them
stepped off on the same foot" said
Spudhole.

60 back to the Children Of Israel.
You remember God was going to
punish them "seven times"
which, according to the same
method of counting used on. Ne
buchadneZzar, would be. Just
seven literal years. But we know
that several Of their previous
punlshments had been longer than
that, and as this seems to be
meant for {. great and final pun
lshment we know that it must be
a great deal harder and longer
than. any Of the others. So we. see
plain enough that we cant accept
seven literal years as the answer
In this case. Then what are we
going to do about it? Give it up?
No sir! Turn with me to the
fourth chapter Of Ezekiel and
there we will find another "key''
that exactly fits this occasion.
Here God is using the prophet
Ezekiel as another type Of Israel's
punishm ut, and God says to
Ezekiel:
I have laid upon thee the years Of
their iniquity, according to the num-
Der Of the days, and | have appoint
ed thee each DAY fora IEAR.-Ezek.
4:5-6.- ~.
..~ -+ - ~"
Don't you see how plain that
makes it? In the ease concern
ing Nebuchadnezzar a day meant
a day, and a year meant a year,
and the seven years would make
1920 days. But in this case, in
order to get the full length of
Israel's time Of punishment, we
must let each day count for a
year. By this method Of count
ing, one "time' would be $50
YEARS instead Of $50 days.
Hence. the seven times of
Israel's punishment would be 252e
YEARS.
Now we have found the
ELENGTH Of Israel's time of<pun-
ishment, and our next job. is to
find where it STARTED, then Il
will be a very easy matter to find
the END. We. never could know
when the 1920 years would end
unless we know when they com
menced.
Right here let me call your at.
tention to the fact that the 252(
years punishment on Israel is the
same period that the Bible calls
"The Times of the Gentiles, fol
the reason that when Israel Wen1
down and commenced to g
through its long punishment, thu
qentiles sprang up into power T.

to get the story complete, but
here are some verses just to get
you started:
Let his heart be changed from
mans, and let a beasts heart be given
unto him; and let seven times pass
over him.-Dan. 4:16.
That they shall drive thee from
men,Nand thy dwelling shall be with
the beasts of the field, and they shall
make thee to eat grass as oxen, and
they shall wet thee with the dew Of
heaven, and seven times shall pass
over thee, till thou know that the
most High ruleth in the kingdom OF
men, and giveth it to whatsoever He
wNl.-Dan. 4:25.
You will find by reading the
entire fourth chapter Of Daniel
that the expression "seven times
is repeated three times. The Bible
account does not come right out
plain and say it was seven years
that acknowledgement was in that
condition. It merely calls it
"seven tines. But outside his
tory makes it very plain that the
thing actually did happen and
that it lasted for seven, years.
Josephus, the great Jewish histor-
ian, is considered pretty reliable,
and he says it was seven years. |
quote from his "Antiquities Of
the Jews. Book Ten, Chapter
Ten, Section Six:
A little after this the king saw in
his sleep again another vision; how
he should fall from his dominion, and
feed among the wild beasts, and that
when he had lived in this manner in
in the desert for seven years, he
should o his dominion again.
When he had seer this dream he call
ed the magicians together again, and
inquired of them about it, and desir-
ed them to tell him what it signified.
But when nowe Of them could find out
the meaning Of the dream, nor dis
cover it to the king. Daniel was the
only person that explained it. And as
he foretold, so it came to pass; for
a1L6r ne QaO COut1Iu0u IN Itl0 WIl0cI-
ness the aforementioned interval OF
time, while no one burst attempt to
seize his kingdom during those seven
years, he prayed to God that he
might recover his kingdom, and he
returned to it.
Even without the testimony OF
lJosephus all scholars agree that
it was seven years, and his added
testimony makes it absolutely Ger.
tain. I have gone over all this te
show you that a time" means {
year, and according to the Jewish
calandar a year contained just
$50 days. Seven years, then
would be 1920 days.
Now let us leave King Ne
buchadne4gar a few minutes an(

times because the Gentiles. were
to hold possession during that
time. And when Israel's time of
punishment expires then the Gen
tiles must go down and Israel
will spring up and take possession
and rule the earth again. So you
see the "seven times Of Israel's
punishment and the '|.times Of the
Gentiles'' are one and the same,
beginning together and ending
together. Therefore the. DATE
when the $500 years began to
count is the one great pivotal
point. All the great and wonder
ful changes soon to occur on this
earth hinge on that date.
The last Of the kings Of Israel
was Zedekiah. The armies Of
Babylon captured Jerusalem, de-
stroyed the temple, and carried
away the king and the people into
captivity. Their city and land
was desolate for seventy years
until the restoration in the first
year Of Cyrus. (Chron. 36 :21-23.)
Though Jerusalem was then re-
built and the captives returned,
Israel has never had another king
from that day to the present. So
the date on which the crown was
taken away from Zedekiah is GER
tainly the correct date for the be-
ginning of the "seven times,' or
252O years. And that date is
clearly fixed in history as 606 B.
c. All historians agree on that
piont. So all we have to do now
lis to take COG years B. G. and add
too them enough Of A. d. to make
1880, and that will show You when
the "seyen times must end. Add
together 6O6 and 1914 and you
get $500. So you see the "seven
times of Israel's punishment and
the Chimes Of the Gentiles'' end
ed in 1914. All this had been
figured out and published to the
world 80 years before the Great
War started, but the world at
large didn't pay any attention to-
lit. The great Gentle nations just
laughed at the idea that they
would ever have to go down and
out. But now look, will you? Just
as quick as the appointed date
1914-got here they began 10
tumble, and all the powers Of
earth and hell are not strong
enough>t to prop them up much
longer. Their time has come, and
they must get out of the way to
make room for the universal
kingdom Of righteousness under
fthe new Israel government.
Now, friends, just a word in
conclusion. If the Bible prophec-
les are worthy Of being read and
believed in at all, then these
figures and calculations are
TRUE, and they MEAN SOME
THING. And if they mean ANY
then they mean more to
the people Of this world than any,
thing else that has happened since
1.-THE: e%rncifxion Of Christ. What
do you think about<it?
