Four-fifths
of the prophecies of the Bible refer to the history of Judah and Israel
in their own land, their captivity and return in the latter day. Still
men take one-fifth and confuse themselves and everybody else. They have
brought the prophets and prophecy into bad repute by ignorantly or
wilfully interpreting the same.

We freely avow now that the prophecy fulfilling at present is the finding
of the Lost Ten Tribes, then their union with the Jews, then their
restoration to Palestine, then after being settled there for some time,
the Jews, as Jews, having built their new temple, and having established
the Mosaic temple service again, and the Lost Tribes as Christians, then
and there we may look for Anti-Christ--not before. Not for the sake of
boasting, and yet without fear, we freely invite ministers or laymen
anywhere to disprove these facts, and to such we will respond cheerfully
if asked for farther proof. The Lost Tribes, we believe, are come to
light, and may be found in the Saxon race chiefly as represented in this
country and Great Britain. If this be so, then we may look for the
preparatory signs in Providence and nations, and thank Heaven, these are
at hand and in accord with the Divine Word.

In Nebuchadnezzar's metallic image we saw Rome symbolised by the legs,
composed of iron and clay. We saw, also, that the little stone cut out
of the mountain began its destructive assault on the image, by striking
the feet; these it would first break, so Rome politically has
disappeared. The ten toes, however, symbolised ten kings or kingdoms
that were to arise in the latter day, or at the time of the end. These
ten kingdoms are also symbolised in Daniel's dream by ten horns that came
out of the head of the nondescript animal that stood for Rome. It is out
of one of these ten horns that another little horn grows, having eyes
like a man and a mouth speaking great things--that is, Anti-Christ. It
is at once plain, then, that ere Anti-Christ can appear, these ten
kingdoms must be formed. How, when, and where will these ten kingdoms be
formed? The clay part of Rome is still alive, and is designated by
Daniel, and by John in Revelation, under the name of beast; and here you
need to be careful, for the word beast is sometimes given to Anti-Christ,
so as not to confound it with the word beast when it stands for the
Romish Church. They will be formed out of Spain, Italy, France, and part
of Austria. Edom, Moab,
