ws, and David's House, and
Israel, will unite and acknowledge Christ as Lord and Master. They will
make known to America, who stands for Manasseh, and all the colonies, the
decision of the said council; all parties will see, and accept, and
federate for the world's conquest and peace.

This federation of the ancient people, the literal seed of Abraham, will
cause jealousies and alliances on the part or rest of the world,
excepting some portions of France, Austria, and Prussia. The beast,
dragon, and Anti-Christ's force, that will survive the shock of the two
witnesses, will all unite for an onslaught upon England, but especially
Palestine. Russia, though nominally Christian, will join the beast or
Romish Church. The dragon means the Pagan portion of the world. Thus
will be inaugurated the battle of Armageddon, the issues of which we are
permitted to know through Revelation. Then will the kingdoms of this
world become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ.

With many, and to many, these things are but as dreams; they are
chimerical. But one thing is certain: the history of the Church and
Providence in the future are appallingly grand. Providence was grand in
leading forth His people of old from Egypt. But He will be no less grand
when He shall set His hand a second time to recover His people as He has
promised to do.

"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a
righteous branch, and a king shall reign and prosper, and shall execute
judgment and justice in the earth. In His days Judah shall be saved, and
Israel shall dwell safely, and this is His name whereby He shall be
called, The Lord our Righteousness." (That is, the ruler of God's
choice--a king, then, in fact, by Divine right.) "Therefore, behold, the
days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth,
which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but,
The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the House of
Israel out of the North country, and from all countries whither I had
driven them, and they shall dwell in their own land" (Jer. xxiii. 68).

God has now one of the seed of David on the throne, and He has a Jew
doing her bidding, executing her decrees over and for Israel. For though
Israel were to be numerous and powerful, yet to David's seed belongs the
throne.

The recent Congress was but a forerunner of the one yet to come. The
crownless king, Disraeli, wh
