and all the money in the world, they could not be transported to Palestine and be established as a national entity. Therefore, the Zion movement is one of the greatest farces, and one of the most futile institutions ever estab lished by a deluded people. If the money of the universe were put into the hands of the Jews, and all the transportation facilities of the world were theirs, they could not be gath ered in that land at the present moment. Someone has said,. Allen- by’s victory meant the completion of prophecy. But, the time of the Gen tiles must run. When Will the Jews Return? Mr. Jew, you are the greatest fact in history! You are God’s elected agent! God brought down through you His own Son, but you rejected Him and lost the national power, the national right, the national ability, and_ the na tional privilege of gathering your peo ple and presenting to the world a , nation, until certain things take place. What are they? You cannot make a ’ king. God gave you a King. You were angry at the form of govern ment you had, and, in a .foolish mo ment, you got a king, a monarch, didn’t you? But God gave you finally the King that was crucified. And you shall never have another king, and you cannot go back to the land without The King, and you cannot have the land without the sceptte over the land. Then what will take place? This period is the period of the Church. The Church is not Israel. The Church is composed of Jew and Gentile, and in this period is the Church. In this period is the doctrine ol grace. This is the period of preach ing the Gospel, and in this period the time of the Gentiles will end. It" is only a definite period, but, when it ends, the King of the Jews will come, and the Jews, unregenerated, just as they are, scattered all over the world, will be gathered back into the national land, and when the remnant of Israel comes back to God and is then in pos session of the Gospel and preaching, the Jews shall be converted and their national existence restored. There shall arise an antagonistic force, the antichrist. But, Jesus Christ shall strike the mighty blow and destroy the antichrist, and the governments of the earth shall yield to the Son of God, the King of the Jews; and Israel, with Christ as King, shall reign supreme over the earth for a thousand years.

for Christ has said that His body shall be composed of Jews and Gentiles. There are but two classes of human ity in the world-—Jew and Gentile. The whole world, outside of the Jew, is called Gentile. The fourteen million Jews in the world constitute the other classification. Christ has said that he who believes, whether Jew or Gentile, will be saved by the blood which He spilled on Calvary; and, He spilled it as the Son of God, the son of David, through the line of Israel, for the sal vation of Israel, and the salvation of whoever might accept His atonement for their salvation. The' prophecies I have mentioned show that when. Jesus Christ was re jected! the calendar concerning the Jew ceased. Prom Genesis 12 to Mat thew 12 is the Jewish calendar. When Jesus Christ was rejected the calendar ceased. There is no national calendar for Israel. Only the individual Jew,— Isaac, Jeremiah, Or whatever his name may be,— stands before God’s grace a beneficiary of God’s love, and can be saved by the vicarious atonement of Jesus Christ. But, the prophecy states that when God called out Abraham, elected him and gave him the land, after certain things were accomp lished, it would be perpetual. But they rejected Christ, became idolaters, and refused to give the Gospel to the Gen tiles. The calendar is cut off from that period to this. Prom that time to now is the period of nineteen hundred years through which we are passing. I do not know how long between Mat thew twelve, and His Second Coming, or how many years will run. There is not anything in this period except the grace of Jesus Christ. If all the Jews in the world could stand before God between that period and this, living an absolutely righteous life, and if they had all the machinery on earth
earth, with the seat of government In the land that Ood decreed. That is Scripture; that is prophecy, and not human imagination. That is decree, and hot human strategy. It shall be done. God will bring the Jew back to Palestine. Russia Controlled by Twenty-four Jews What have they been doing? The Jews, because of their rejection of Christ and rejection of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, have been the fountains of the socialism, communism and Bol shevism, out of which has come all the political philosophy and anarchy of the world. There are twenty-four Jews today trying to control Russia, and out of that has come the miser able mess that presents itself to the world. Why? Because no people, no individual, and no nation can reject Christ and lay the foundations of a permanent government. It cannot be done. (3) The Source o f Economic Chaos Another thing: The philosophy of Karl Marx has been the entering wedge of the economic chaos of the world, as well as the philosophy of the Jews of Russia, which has been the entering wedge of the political and governmental chaos of Russia, and will be of the world if their doctrines are adopted. Why? You cannot set up the philosophy of Karl Marx, you cannot deny the infallibility of God’s Word, reject Christ, the only Saviour of man, and establish an economic sys tem that will cure the ills of the day, or build a government, economic or otherwise, that will bring peace, pros perity and happiness to the world. It cannot be done. The prophecies we have been dis cussing ask the question and present the fact that, if the Jew has been re jected nationally what position does the Jew hold under the Gospel? In the elev enth chapter of Romans, God says that He has rejected the Jew nation ally, but not individually; Today the individual Jew and the individual Gen tile are both included under disobedi ence, unbelief and sin in order that the grace of Christ may operate equally to save both. The Jew at the present day could not nationally come to God, because the steps to be taken have not yet been taken. But, each and every individual Jew in the world may accept Jesus Christ, and by His vicarious death be regenerated. Thousands of Jews, indi vidually, are accepting Christ and are, by His blood, being regenerated, saved and baptized into the body of Christ;
T h e following appreciation comes from a subscriber in In diana: “ I And The King’s Busi ness a very great help for my Sunday S c h o o l l e s s o n s . Although we get our quarterly lesson book furnished, I prefer The King’s Business, because it explains the lesson so much nicer and plainer.” The Sun day School Lesson Comments, which now appear In quarterly form and are included in the regular subscription price of The King’s Business when asked for, will be transferred to the Monthly at the end of the year.
