“ At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and 'S' all nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord,

to Jerusalem; neither shall they walk any more after

the imagination of their evil heart.”—Jer.3: 17.

Awake, Jerusalem, awake 1 the Lord will comfort thee!

Now from the dust thy garments shake, arise in majesty!

Thy light is come, thy sun shall rise with healing in his rays;

Thy land shall be a paradise, and echo ceaseless praise. .

Isa. 52:1-3; 60:1-6; 61:4-6; Jer. 30:10-11; 31:28-37; Ezek. 36:8-38. X Refrain:—                                   '

Jerusalem! O Jerusalem! the world thy King shall own,

When God restores thy diadem, and Shiloh takes the throne. X Gen.49:io; Psa.2:6-8; Rev. 11:15; Psa. 149:5-9; iCor.6:2; T Dan. 7 :13,14, 22, 27; Rev. 2:26, 27; Isa. 24:23; 62:1-3; Psa. 82:8; 86:9. x

The blindness that has veiled with night the lost of Israel’s fold, £ Will be replaced by gospel light, when Gentile times are told.

When “ God s eledt ” in Zion reign, thy morning shall begin;

Their mercy will remove the stain of Jacob’s crimson sin.

The cup of trembling from thy hand Jehovah will remove;        jj

. And spread o’er thy forsaken land the mantle of his love ;

The barren plain shall bloom again, and famine flee thy shores;

For peace will aid thy husbandmen, and fill thy threshing floors.

Thy watchmen eye to eye shall see, when God shall Zion bring;

Good news of good shall swiftly fly on everlasting wing;

The voice of crying there shall cease, while praises thrill the skies; X For health and gladness will increase, as vanquished error dies. y Isa. 52:7-8; Luke 2:10; Rev. 14:6, 7; Zeph. 3:8-20; Isa. 52:13- B -15; Psa. 67; Micah 7 :16-20; Rev. 21 :3, 4; Psa. 98. X

f     Redeemed redeemed, but not with gold, thy ransomed ones return; 3

t      With awe the Gentiles shall behold thy holy incense burn;

&       Unto thy palaces, restored, all nations soon shall flow,

»     To seek and serve thy royal Lord, in homage bowing low.

FLESHLY ISRAEL RETURNING TO PALESTINE.

X The fulfilment of Scripture prophecy by the return of Israelites to x A Palestine is awakening considerable thought amongst those who believe A

God’s Word and search it. We are frequently asked for a tract upon # » the subjedl, but a trail is quite insufficient for the presentation of the y vast amount of testimony bearing diredlly and indirectly upon this sub- T ject. We must refer the interested reader to a book entitled, Thy .8? Kingdom Come, .384 pages (post free-—25 cents), published by the A y Tower Publishing Co., Allegheny, Pa. The same volume contains a j x treatise on the 1260, 1290 and 1335 days of the Prophet Daniel and a x A review of the harmony between the teachings of Scripture and the a # symbolic teachings of the Great Pyramid in Egypt.

5 After reading the above with interest, and Bible in hand, you will 2 x want to read another book,— The Time is at Hand. (Same address x A and same price.) It shows the typical significance of Israel’s Jubilees a # or Sabbath years; it proves that the period of Israel’s favor exactly &■ X corresponds to the period of their disfavor; it shows also the general 'S y typical significance of the Temple and its services, and that Israel’s T favor will fully return in, or shortly after, A. D. 1915.

* In Rev. 20: 5, the words “But the rest of the dead lived not again J until the thousandyears were finished” are spurious. They are not g? i found in the oldest and most reliable Greek MSS,, the Sinaitic, Vatican ?

Nos. 1209 and 1160, nor in the Syriac MS. We must remember that a X AL few passages found in the modern copies are additions which do not A « properly belong to the Bible. Since commanded not to add to the Word x x of God, it is our duty to repudiate such additions as soon as their spur- x A ious character is established. The words indicated probably crept into A if the text by accident, in the fifth century; for no MS. of earlier date f 5K (either Greek or Syriac) contains this clause. It was probably at first A merely a marginal comment made by areader, expressive of his thonght S y upon the text, and copied.into the body of the text by some subsequent sr i transcriber who failed to distinguish between the text and the comment. 4 I WRTCH TOWEK BiBLiH & T$ACT SOC’Y I ®          BIBLE HOUSE, ARCH ST , ALLEGHENY, PA., U.
