by generation--they were
manufactured Jews only. "And the Lord removed Israel out of His sight,
as He had said by all His servants the prophets. So was Israel carried
away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day" (2 Kings xvii. 23).
During this captivity, which is even in force till now, barren Israel,
the divorced one, was to have more children than the married one--namely,
Judah.

We find that the third child born to Hosea is called Lo-ammi, meaning,
"Ye are not My people." This child pro-figured the casting out of the
Jews; that they would refuse to accept God in Christ, and He therefore
would reject them. Thus the Jews became wanderers from their own land.
And the land rests in desolation, enjoying her Sabbath of rest, while her
sons and daughters are being chastised and trained for their return.

The time will come when God will call Israel to Him, and have mercy upon
her, when the divorced one shall be restored to her husband. "And it
shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call Me Ishi, and
shalt call me no more Baali" (Hos. ii. 16). Now Ishi means husband, and
Baali stands for Lord. Saxons have been looked upon as being infidels by
the rest of the world. The Mohammedans and Buddhists never reckoned the
Saxons as being the sons of God; and Catholic Europe and Greek Russia
have looked upon England as infidel and heretical. And the Saxons
themselves never went so far in their knowledge as to know who they were,
their origin and work. But the prophet says: "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." And the
time will come when Lo-Ruhamah shall become Ru-hamah, which means to have
obtained mercy. And Lo-Ammi shall become Ammi, which means that this is
My people. And Jezreel, which was a sign of dispersion, shall be the
sign of gathering. "Then shall the children of Judah and the children of
Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they
shall come up out of the land; _for great shall be the day of Jezreel_."
Then the Jews (Ammi) will call the Saxons their sister, long lost, but
found at last. The Saxons (Ru-hamah) will call the Jews their brother,
those whom in the past they have hated and persecuted; and thought
themselves far removed from Jewish blood. Now they both will acknowledge
a common generation, and Abraham their father. And one
