mitted to stand on Mount Zion, where now stands the
Mosque of Omar. And this is the city of the great King. This is Mount
Zion, from which is yet to go forth the law. This is Jerusalem that God
promises to yet again make the chief place of the earth. "Arise, shine,
for the light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee."
When, we ask, will the fulness of the Gentiles come in? We answer, Soon.
Think of what God has taught us in His Word. We, as the Lost Tribes,
have indeed been ignorant of our origin and destiny. "For I would not,
brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be
wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel,
until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in" (Rom. xi. 25). This time
is nicely pointed out by John in Rev. xi. 2: "But the court which is
without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto
the Gentiles, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two
months;" or, as explained in the following verse, a thousand two hundred
and three-score days. Accepting a day for a year again, and we have
1,260 years. Taking Mahommed power to date from 622, or about, then 622
and 1,260 make 1,882. Now just as sure as Jerusalem is now trodden under
foot, as certainly will it be free.

"Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful
garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for henceforth there shall no more
come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake thyself from the
dust; arise and sit down, O Jerusalem; loose thyself from the bands of
thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion" (Isa. lii. 1, 2).

England is appointed of God to take possession of Palestine and restore
Jerusalem. God has told us through Isaiah that He will lay vengeance
upon Edom by the hand of Israel. The many days of the vision of Daniel
are now gone; the time is nearly up.

"For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I
will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness,
and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth; and the Gentiles shall
see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory." It is the duty of the
watchmen of Zion to discern the signs of the times and become obedient
unto heavenly instruction. "Ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not
silence, and give Him no rest till He establish, and till He make
Jerusalem a praise in the earth" (Isa. lxii. 1, 2, 6, 7).
