needed to learn by experience that
they were incapable of properly
governing themselves or others. The
Gentle Dominion, according to the
Scripture, is period of two thorS-
and five hundred and twenty years,
beginning 606 ID. c., at the time when
Zedekiah, the Jewish ruler, was
dethroned and Nebuchadneezar the
king of Babylon, was enthroned
1t follows then that the full period
of two thousand, five hundred and
twenty years would end 1914, A. ID.
God foreknowing the course man
would take, told through His pro-
phel Joel 3:9-15, and Daniel 1877,
the present world condition.
Prophecy is simply history written
in advance, and whoever doubts the
prophecies of the Bible fails to give
Jehovah credit for having the ability
of knowing His plans and stating
them in advance, and also fails TO
give Him credit of knowing in ad-
vance the course of future events.
We now submit twelve reasons
from the the prophecy Of Jesus
C. hriSt t, the greatest prophet in
the whole universe, in support of
our assertion that the world has
ended. Five days before His cruel
fiction His Deciples asked Him
privately: Tell us, what shall be
the proof of the end of the world?'
Matt. 2l:3.
The Gentiles had a lease of power
or permission from God to try them
selves at governing the world. This
was stated length of time (from
COG b. C.. to 1914 AID, period of 2,
$40 years. and when that time eX-
pired the Lord began proceedings
at once to oust them-they having
become enemies to the one who had
given them their lease of power.
Now, Jesus referring 10 the end
end of Me Gentiles lease of power,
in his answer to the question pro-
pounded to Him by the deciples,
said: "The nations were angry and
thy wrath has come and the time
of the dead that they should be
judged" Exactly on the time the
ambitious rulers of the earth started
the Great World War. Further an
swering the deciples Jesus said;
Nations shall rise against nations
and Kingdoms against Kingdoms,
and there shall be famine and peStl-
lence and earth quakeS (Revela-
iionS) in divers places Further
answering concerning. the Jewish
people he said: They Ohe Jews
shall be trodden down of the Gen
tiles until the time of the GentileS
be fulfilled. Every student of pro-
phecy has understood that the re-
of the Jews TO Jerusalem would
turn of the Jews to Jerusalem would
and the beginning of new order OF
dispensation. Jehovah, through the
prophet jeremiah, spoke to ISreal
advising that people that they would
be driven ou' Of their own country
into a country withwhich they were
not familiar; that there they would
receive great persecution and that
this period of persecution and SUI
fering would be the same length as
the period of their favor, and that
thereafter He would bring them
back into Palestine and again show
them favor. Their return to Pales-
tine, Jesus mentioned, would mark
the time of His presence and the end
of the world-end Of Gentle gov
ernment (See jeremiah l6:l3-lS)'
Through the prophet Zechariah, the
Lord Jehovah, foretold that there
would be a great rejoicing in Jeru-
selem over the entrance of the King
(Messiah) and that that day would
mark the time when the double
