me history of the
English nation and throne. We know many scout the idea of the Lost
Tribes ever being found, although over thirty times God declares by the
prophets that they must return; surely before they return they must be
found. God has not cast away His people for ever. No, no. He declares
Israel to be His inheritance, and that this people He had formed for
Himself.

The Two Tribes forming the Jews of to-day are said by the best
calculation to number about nine millions. If, then, the Two Tribes
number nine millions, how many ought we to expect the Ten Tribes to
number? If the Two Tribes have stood and survived the shock and
persecution of centuries when known, and therefore open to assault, is it
not reasonable to suppose that the Ten Tribes will be in existence, a
numerous and powerful people, for they have been hid, and thus have they
evaded the persecution that a knowledge of their nationality would have
entailed upon them from the Gentile and Pagan nations?

Some, indeed, persist in looking for God's chosen seed--His people, His
inheritance--among the bushmen of Africa, the Indians of America; indeed
wherever they can find a people mean, and few, and very low in the scale
of civilisation. They overlook the fact that Israel, not the Jews, were
to be the most powerful and prolific people on the face of the earth, to
be as sands of the sea, as the stars of heaven. Especially were these
promises to be true in the latter day--for then God promises to multiply
them, men, beasts, and the fruits of the field. This is one of the signs
of the times, and it is a remarkable one. See our harvest, see our
cattle, and see the Saxon race--doubling, at least, every forty years.
No other nation is doubling at that rate. Germany comes the nearest, and
both in Prussia and Austria they only double every one hundred years. In
one hundred years from to-day the Saxons will control the world for peace
and Christ.

To this end God is overturning, and will overturn until the whole world
shall be federated around one throne, and that throne is David's--the
only throne God ever directly established, and the only one He has
promised perpetuity to. God has a land--Palestine. He has a
people--Israel. He has a throne--David's, and for that throne He has a
seed, just as the seed of Levi was selected for Temple service.

This kingdom is the fifth kingdom, to be set up in the latter days of
those kings, says Daniel. The kin
