but th a t you look to Christ and be saved. The Lord’s “Sword” Against Gog As this shaking of the land is the prelude to destruction of the vast host of Gog, we note in verses 21 to 23 that it is to be completed by the use of a mighty sword. What is1 the sword which will be called to slay the great host of the prince of Russia? Is it not the sword of God as He alone fights the battle against Gog ? Is not the sword in this case the soul-terrifying earthquake with its de molishing and leveling of everything? Great ocean tidal waves could easily send to the bottom mighty dreadnaughts of the northern navy, absolutely nulli fying all sea travel. Atmospheric tor nadoes couid bring every airplane and dirigible to the ground in flames. More- D eep,,scholarly, and yet intensely interest ing are ' these studies in Messianio prophecy by Dr. Reich, a noted Hebrew C hristian and a member of th e'facu lty of the Moody Bible In stitu te of Chicago. The book h as special significance in view of the present world u n rest and .the effect th a t this condition is hav- upon the Jew ish people. The author points out th a t “once again*-we see th a t one Face, which fa r from vanishing, stands out in its m ajesty and beauty, front the ancient pages. Messianic prophecy is coming into its own again." A sserting th a t “the w orth of C hris tian ity depends upon the dependablenesa of the Old T estam ent/' he proves th a t although “the traditional veil of prejudice still hides from the eye of the Jew . . . the glory of the L ord in the Old Testam ent, the hour is not far d istan t when the lonely and hungry h eart of Israel will tu rn to the Lord.” 134 pages.

over, G od’s sw ord w ill d o u b tless in clu d e pestilence and blood, with torrential rain and hailstones, fire and brimstone. Nor will this be all, for in the black, weird confusion that will follow the fury of the elemental upheavals, “every man’s sword shall be against his brother,” and through this will be wrought a great slaughter. By the complete overthrow and anni hilation of the invading army, Almighty God will become known among the na tions. Israel will be preserved, and God will be glorified. And this will be a step toward that time when “the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Isa. 11:9). After the horrors of the days of the tribulation have cleared away, He whose right it is to reign will set up His everlasting kingdom that will never be destroyed. May the God of all grace hasten that time!

BROOKS In stead of giving the more usual chrono logical consideration of prophecies dealing w ith this present age, this group of twelve Bible studies' deals w ith aspects of prophecy which have caused differences of" opinion am ong Bible interpreters.
