down together; and the lion shall
eat straw ike the OK. And the sue k
ling child shall play on the hole of
the asp, and the weaned child SHAH
put his hand on the adder's den
They shall not hurt nor destroy in
all My holy mountain; for the earth
shall be full of the knowledge of the
Lord as the waters cover the sea-"
1t is that knowledge of the Lord
that is the great characteristic. We
shall know Him then for we shall
Sc Him as He is. Beloved, now are
we the Sons of God. and it doth not
yet appear what we shall be; but
we know that when He doth appear,
we shall be like Him, for we shall
see Him as He is.
Now there are more than a thou
sand million people who have never
! heard the name that is above every
other name, the only. name given
among men whereby we may be
saved. Then it shall not be neces-
Sary to say to thy neighbor "I know
| the Lord for all shall know Him
from the least even unto the great
est of them. Now that name is not
known, and in many places where
it is known it is not hallowed, but
then from the rising Of the sun even
to the going down of the same His
name shall be great among the
heather, for at the name of Jesus,
every knee shall bow and every
tongue confess to the glory of God
the Father. For it shall come to
pass in that day that this little
shoot out of the stock of David shall
no set "a n oncio11
pies, He shall be the standard, and
Him shall all the nations seek, and
His resting place shall be glorious!
While all the nations are seeking
Him, what shall become of the ma
ton which He chose, and to whom
He offered Himself when He came,
who rejected Him, and who have
been scattered among all nations?
1t shall come to pass in that day
that Jehovah will again a second
time recover with His hand the rem
nant of His people. He will set up
this ensign to the nations, will as
semble the outcasts of Israel, and
gather together the dispersed of
Judah from the four corners of the
earth. There shall be an highway
for the remnant of His peoples as
there was for Israel in the day that
He came up out of the land of Eeypt.
No, God will not forget the people
He has chosen. Gods oath has been
given to them, and nothing less than
a liberal fulfillment will protect the
character of Him who sware to
Abraham, and to Isaac and to Jacob
and to David.
I'm that day thou shall say, will
give thanks unto thee, o Jehovah,
for though thou vast angry with
me, thine anger is turned away and
thou comfortest me. Behold, God is
my salvation; will trust and not be
afraid; for Jehovah, even Jehovah,
is my strength and my song; and He
is become my salvation"
In That Day
What a glorious picture of the
reign Of Christ-a King on the
throne of David at Jerusalem who is
filled with the spirit Of God, perfect
ly equipped; a King who reigns in
righteousness, who sees that every
subject is treated as he should be.
a King who puts down sin in every
form, and really makes the world
safe for the little children and the
weakness of the animals. a King
unto whom every nation of the earth
will seek and whose resting place
will be a glory; a King VIII remem-
bers and fulfills every promise to the
letter. even though those to whom
the promises were made turned
against Him, treated His blessings
with curses, and crucified Him for
His kindness. a King in whom every
one can put their trust and not be
afraid, who is become our salvation,
our strength, and our song; a King
who is in the midst.
When shall these things be? "In
that way" is Gods answer. Did you
notice that seven times in this proph.
ecy Isaiah uses that expression?
Study each one of them. "In that
day" when shall that day be? But
of that day and hour knoweth no one
but the Father, not yet the Son."
Jesus Himself did not know it then;
of course, He does now. While we
know not the day nor the hour He
has given us certain knowledge that
at midnight, or at the cockcrowing,
when the bride hath made herself
ready. 1t will come when the last
number Of the body of Christ has

1t will come when the mystery of
iniquity is fully developed. 1t will
come when the great heart of God
can stand no longer the rebellion
of wicked men who strive against
the Spirit. 1t will come when the
Spirit of lawlessness and rebellion
against God have reached a climax.
1t will not come by the schemes of
men to effect pure government or to
dispense justice. 1t will not come
by the growth of the church and the
gradual acceptance of the example
and teachings of Jesus. 1t will not
come by the union of the churches,
nor by any federation of govern
ments. nor by any cooperation OF
races. 1t can only come by the per-
sonal presence of Jesus Christ, Son
of God, Son of David, and by His de-
struction of the works of the devil.
Behold, I come quickly" were
His last words. Gwen so, come
Lord Jesus, come quickly" is also
our response and our desire.
