fulfilled at Christ's cruifixion. There are many more prophecies in regard to the sufferings, betrayal and death of Jesus Christ, all of which have been fulfilled, and up- on which we rest, as such strong evidence for the truth and inspira- tion of the Bible.
 Dr. Scofield says: "The other line of prophecy foretells splen- did and resistless Sovereign, purg- ing the earth with awful judgments, re.gathering dispersed Israel, re- storing the throne of David in more than Solomon's splendor, and in troducing reign of profound peace and perfect righteousness.
 In the 11th chapter of Isaiah we read And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him. the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; and shall make Him of quick understanding, in the fear of the Lord; and He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His ears, but with righteousness shall He judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth; and He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people, (the Jews) which shall be left, from Asyyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Klamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and Judah FROM THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH" Along with this pro- phecy is the covenant God made with the Jews, saying: "The Lord thy God will gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. And will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it (Palestine); and He will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers" These pro phecies have not yet been fulfilled, but will be literally fulfilled at the Second Coming of Christ when He come with glory and power to reign over this earth. The Jews return ing to Palestine, their own land, is an indication that the fulfillment of these prophecies is very near The prophecies in Isa. 24:21-23; 40; 9-11; Dan. 7:13, IA, 27, and many others will be fulfilled when the Prince of Peace comes to this earth again, which we know is a literal coming, for the Word of God says He will "come in like manner" as He went away. Acts 1:9-11.
 Not only do we have the many prophecies in the Old Testament as proof that Jesus Christ is to yet reign on the throne of David" that is, as head of the Jewish nation and over all the nations on the earth, but also the prophecies in the New Testament. If we read Matt.1:1 and Matt. 2:2 along with Luke 1:31-33 and Jer. 23:5-8, we know that Jesus Christ, born of the Virgin Mary, is to be great in power and rule the whole earth. When we think of the many millions of heathens there are today who do not even know Christ, we know this prophecy has not yet been full filled, but is still future for the Bible says: ALL people, nations, and languages, should serve Him i; His dominion is an everlasting do- minion which shall not pass away"
