real Russians.
Their ruler is called by the Prophet Ezekiel _Nasi Roosh_. We translate
it the chief prince of Meshech. This portion, or people of Russia, are
the old Babylonians, hence the hate and rivalry between England and that
nation. Meshech means the Muscovites, who made Moscow what it is. Tubal
is found in the Siberians. Meshech and Tubal are generally mentioned
together in the Scriptures, and, strange to say, they are found together
in history to-day. Moscow is the capital of Meshech, for though to the
world St. Petersburgh seems to be, yet every imperial document is signed
and dated Moscow. Tobolski is the capital of Tubal or Siberia. Persia
still retains its ancient name, and will be easily recognised. Also the
same with Ethiopia. Libya takes in a portion of the African race. Gomer
stands for the Germans in part, for those who descended from Gomer. From
this word Gomer is Gomeron, Gemren, and the country Germia, hence,
Germany and Germans. Togarmah includes the people of Independent

Tarshish and all the young lions, means England and her colonies, in
which is embraced the United States. Manasseh will have to stretch out a
helping hand to Jacob in the time of his trouble, for she cannot allow
liberty to be enslaved, and freedom of worship and conscience to be
trampled under foot. The plague will come here sooner than we think, by
a civil and internal division among ourselves, which will force us to
take part. The Jews that are not carried away with Anti-Christ will join
with their brethren of Israel. The called, the chosen, and the faithful,
will be one party, and they will be on the Lord's side.

If during the late Turkish war we could have had our despatches agreeable
to ancient names of people and country, they would have sounded queer.
Instead of reading of the Russians passing the Caucasus, and moving upon
Erzeroum by way of Kars, we should have read: Rapid advance of the
