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." [1] We give a few of the many passages which predict these things. 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.

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
