men shall take hold out of all
languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that
is a Jew saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that God is
with you." This necessarily also comes after the Lord has come and set
up His Kingdom.
Israel will therefore be definitely used in bringing the nations of the
earth into the Kingdom. In that coming Kingdom, converted,
Spirit-filled Israel will be the head of all nations, and be used in
world-wide ministry and blessing. Then will be fulfilled what the Lord
said through Isaiah: "Ye shall be named the priests of the Lord; men
shall call you ministers of our God; ye shall eat the wealth of the
nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves." What blessing
is in store for the whole world, when that time comes may also be
learned from Rom. xi:12-15. Let all true believers pray as never
before, "Even so, come Lord Jesus."

Read them carefully with the contex: Psalm xxii:27-28, xlvii:7-8,
lxvii:4-5, lxxii; Isa. lx:2-9; Dan. vii:13-14; Zech. ii:11.
THE FEASTS AND THE NAMES
Leviticus xxiii
The Lord commanded His people Israel to keep seven yearly feasts. We
find them mentioned in their proper order in Leviticus. The feasts, or
holy convocations are: The Feast of Passover, the Feast of Unleavened
Bread, the Feast of First-fruits, the Feast of Pentecost, the Feast of
Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. While
these feasts had a special meaning for God's people Israel and their
worship they are also "the shadow of things to come;" they have a
decided prophetic meaning. In a most remarkable manner they reveal the
whole plan of redemption. All the dispensational dealings of God with
Jews and Gentiles may be traced in these feasts.
We find also in the Old Testament Scriptures seven compound names of
Jehovah. These are the following: _Jehovah-Jireh_ (Jehovah provides),
Gen. xxii:14; _Jehovah-Rophekah_ (Jehovah thy Healer), Exod. xv:26;
_Jehovah-Nissi_ (Jehovah my banner), Ex. xvii; _Jehovah-Shalom_
(Jehovah is Peace), Judges vi:24; _Jehovah-Roi_ (Jehovah my Shepherd),
Psalm xxiii:1; _Jehovah-Tsidkenu_ (Jehovah our Righteousness), Jer.
xxiii:6; _Jehovah-Shammah_ (Jehovah is there), Exek. xlviii:35. These
names are also prophetic; they tell out the story of redemption and may
be linked with the Feasts of Jehovah. The interesting fact is tha
