is the mystery of God for dealing
with mankind. This church is distinct
and separate from the rest of the
world in many ways, and the New
Testament is for her guidance. Her
reward will be heavenly, not earthly.
The Jews are the key to the Old
Testament. 1t was written to and for
them.-Exodus 1875, Amos So.
Gods contract with the children of
Israel included special blessings if
foithful and special punishments If I'M
faithful-the time for each to be of
equal length. To unlock the Old
Testament, note some of the promises
recorded in jeremiah 32:4044 and
Chapter 33, and Ezekiel, Chapters 36
and 81. These inclure promise to re-
store them to their land of Palestine,
but only after God has cast them off /
from his favor for exactly. as long a |
time as he had shown them special
favor. This double is mentioned by |
three prophets Jeremiah 1913 and IS, |
Zachariah 9:12 and Isaiah 40:2 Note |
marginal reading of the last). The |
turning point from favor to disfavor
is foretold in zachariah 9:s. coupled
with Matthew PILLS and 23:37-39. |
Their special favor began at the death
of their father, Jacob Genesis 49: 28,33)
and lasted to A. d. 33, when Christ
rejected them from further favor-a
period of 1.S45 years Note the exact
double is returning favor. Eusebius'
Ecclesiastical History states that just
40 years later, A D. 70, the nation
Israel, Volume II, and many others
corroborate this.

namely, 1878, the Jews were granted
the first favor in many hundreds of
years-religious and civil liberty in
observation-disclosures. Berlin Confer
ence,' June 10 to July 13, 1878. Com
lpare the International Encyclopedia on
this subject with Zachariah spa, as
to the number of nations represented
at than conference, and recall that
the chairman was Lord Beaconsfield, a
full -blooded Jew, who wrote the ar
ticles of agreement between Russia and
Turkey which contained the stipula-
ton for religious liberty for Palestine.
Note further: just 40 years later,
namely 1918, another marked favor
came to the Jews. The Turk was driven
from Jerusalem in the fall OF 1917. In
February. 1918, King George of Eng
land, will full consent of France and
the United States, sent commission
there the first day of the Passover
! March 26), with authority to rebuild
|, their old homeland-just 40 years ris-
ing from first favor to national recog-
milton. Now Is nations have extended
|, recognition to the Jews. Note the
prominence of the Zionist movement
in all the papers. Shall we say that
such accurate fulfi1lment of prophecy
, is purely accidental?
. Another line Of prophecy ends in
1925. Leviticus % states a law given

{ laws were pictures or types of larger
