shut their eyes to the
wonderful fact that Israel is breaking forth on the left and on the
right? God has long ago said that Israel were the people of His
inheritance, and that Jacob was the lot of His inheritance, or His
girdle, or cord, as the word lot means. Then, if you turn your attention
to Great Britain and her colonies, including Manasseh, you will see this
girdle or measuring line around the earth. Let me aid you by pointing
the same out for you. Look at the Eastern hemisphere circle, enclosing
the Gentile nations. Begin with Great Britain; pass on to the Channel
Islands, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, West Coast African Colonies, St.
Helena, Cape Colonies, Mauritius, Seychelles, Perim, Aden, Ceylon, India,
Burmah, Straits Settlements, Labuan, Australian Colonies, Hong Kong, and
the Dominion of Canada. In the Western hemisphere commence the circle
with Canada and United States, Fiji Islands, New Zealand, Falkland
Islands, British Guiana, British Honduras, West India Islands, and
Newfoundland. Do we not plainly see that Israel is possessing "the isles
of the sea," "coasts of the earth," "waste and desolate places?" These
things are not hid in a corner; they proclaim the intentions of God, an
over-ruling Providence; and who and where the Lost Tribes are. A miracle
and prophecy are fulfilling before our eyes.

"Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the
sea, which cannot be measured or numbered; and it shall come to pass
that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not My people,
there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living
God."--Hosea i. 10.

A period of time is frequently referred to in the Scriptures as being the
"latter days." It is, therefore, very important for the prophetic
student, and the Church of Christ at large, that the time of days spoken
of should be known. For connected with these days are a number of
prophec
