“In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall exe cute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness. For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel” (Jer. 33:15-17). Of a certainty, God’s covenant with Abraham stands: “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee” (Gen. 12:3). And that curse has never been revoked! "They fight to destruction who fight against God!” [Know not the Gentile rulers of earth, and their peoples, that in their frenzied hate of the Jew, far more than the life of the Jew is at stake? The covenants of God are at stake! Obliterate the Jew and you obliterate the covenants of God! In any age, the program that has for its end the extermination of the Jew, or even the dimming of his future glory, is a program that could have been conceived only in the brain of the dragonj ¿t-D- />>>J ft- S hould H itlerism T emporarily S ucceed —THEN WHAT? |rh e gravest danger that confronts our Gentile world today is the possible temporal success of Hitler and his allies. For, with anti-Semitism as an outstanding part of his program, should Hitler succeed in restoring Germany to prosperity and power, what are the awful possibilities, if not probabilities, in other nations now searching in despera tion for that same prosperity and poweujEven as we write, the morning paper quotes a press dispatch from Germany, saying: ¡p. I7t> Opening the 700-year-old Leipzig Fair, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda, today joyously cried, “The worst is behind us.” . . . thousands . . , cheered. Surveying the Nazi regime, now one year old, Goebbels told the brilliant assembly, including many
their own curse. Do Germans hear not even the voice of their own Frederick the Great, speaking out of the past: "No country ever got any good by injuring■ the Jew”? Not only leaders of the distant past, but also a great living Frenchman, M. Herriot, the recent Prime Minister, might provide wisdom: "One does not defy Israel with impun ity.” Rulers seem to forget that "it was a Jew who dug the grave of the late Czar of Russia”! On the eighth of last October, Hitler officiated at the laying of the corner stone of the new art gallery at Munich. The Bavarian Minister of the Interior handed him a silver hammer—“the sign and symbol of the future of the Nazi movement.” The Chancellor took the hammer and made ready to bring down three mighty blows upon the stone, when, behold, at the first stroke, it broke, the handle re maining in his.grasp as the hammer lay upon the stone! “A cry went up from the onlookers in the front row, and Herr Hitler, without uttering a word, turned, and with a somber expression, resumed his seat.” The German gov ernment at once ordered the press not to report the inci dent. Such an experience must have been rather discon certing to a confirmed believer in occultism. Hitler’s “fami liar spirit” might well remind him that many mightier auto crats than he, have, in wrath, brought down their hammers upon the stone of Israel! Every hammer lies broken! Every autocrat is dust! The stone remains! Only super fools still smite! The self-deified gods of the past, rising from the shades of everlasting night, beholding the stupidity of a ruler for whom history seems to have no lesson, must be struck dumb with amazement at the deeds of Hitler and his. associates in German government! Possibly the ghost of Lenin may yet creep across the border and lift a warning finger, for Lenin’s end was a startling antitype of the mighty Nebu chadnezzar’s experience. Sir Percival Phillips (London Daily Mail, February ! , 1924) is authority for the state
ment: “The once-powerful; dictator of Red Russia spent his last days of activity crawling on all fours like a beast, and shouting repeatedly, ‘God save Russia and kill the Jews!’ ” History furnishes a long list of kings who “said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them [Israel] altogether” (Psa. 74:8; R .V .); “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance” (Psa. 83 :4). And, today, the feet of the trekker of the centuries, as he trudges on, kicks up all that remains of those kings and their mighty empires— dust! G od ’ s U nalterable C ovenant S tands Long, long ago—twenty-five centuries in the past—a prophet wrote: “Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordi nances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord” (Ter. 31:35-37).
