no more. The cry will go forth, "Babylon is fallen."
In Nebuchadnezzar's image you will remember that the stone cut out of the
mountain began to destroy the metallic image upward, hence these kingdoms
will disappear in reverse order to their origin. First Rome, which has
gone; next Greece, which is nearly gone; then Persia, and then Russia.
The new kingdom will fill the world. Already it foreshadows the outlines
of possession by its immense territory of to-day. Then a scion of the
House of David shall be enthroned in Jerusalem. All the other great
capitals will have been destroyed. It is surprisingly grand to read of
that day, king and kingdom. Let me read to you a few verses from
Jeremiah, chapter xxiii.: "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. 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." The
words, "that day," are often used, and if we desire to know when that day
is, we have data in the great fact that it is the other side of
Armageddon, and Armageddon is the other side of the settlement of Israel
and Judah in Palestine.

I wish, just here, to correct many of you, as well as some of the public
journals. Of late I have frequently seen it stated in the papers that I
predicted the end of the world in 1882. And many persons have actually
asked if I did really think so. The truth of the matter is, in my
sermons on the Great Pyramid I pointed out to you the remarkable fact
that the Grand Gallery was 1,882 inches long. Beginning with the birth
of the Saviour, these inches stand for years. This gallery suddenly
ends, excepting that it is continued in a narrow passage, the narrowest
in the whole building, for fifty-three inches. Then comes the King's
Chamber, which before you enter, you pass under a portcullis in the form
of an olive leaf. In this chamber all is equal, quiet, and central.
Now, what I believe this pillar o
