This signal victory on the part of the Jews, so unlooked for by the
nations, and attended with the personal advent of Messiah, and the
accompanying events, will change the whole order of things in Europe
and Asia, in regard to political and religious organization, and
government.
The Jews as a nation become holy from that day forward; and their city
and sanctuary becomes holy. There also the Messiah establishes his
throne, and seat of government.
Jerusalem then becomes the seat of empire, and the great centre and
capital of the old world.
All the families of the land shall then go up to Jerusalem once a
year, to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to keep the feast of
Tabernacles.
Those who refuse to go up, shall have no rain, but shall be smitten
with dearth and famine. And if the family of Egypt go not up (as it
never rains there) they shall be smitten with the plague. And thus all
things shall be fulfilled according to the words of the holy prophets
of old, and the word of the Lord which is now revealed, to confirm and
fulfil them.
In short the kings, rulers, priests and people of Europe, and of the
old world, shall know this once that there is a God in Israel, who, as
in days of old, can utter his voice, and it shall be obeyed.
The courts of Rome, London, Paris, Constantinople, Petersburgh, and all
others, will then have to yield the point, and do homage, and all pay
tribute to one Great Centre, and to one mighty Sovereign, or, THRONES
WILL BE CAST DOWN, AND KINGDOMS WILL CEASE TO BE.
Priests, bishops, and clergy, whether Catholic, Protestant, or
Mahomedan, will then have to yield their pretended claims to the
priesthood, together with titles, honors, creeds and names; and
reverence and obey the true and royal priesthood of the order of
Melchisedech, and of Aaron; restored to the rightful heirs, the
nobility of Israel; or, the dearth and famine will consume them, and
the plague sweep them quickly down to the pit, as in the case of Korah,
Dathan and Abiram, who pretended to the priesthood, and rebelled
against God's chosen priests and prophets, in the days of Moses.
While these great events are rolling on the wheels of time, and being
fulfilled in the old world, the Western Continent will present a scene
of grandeur, greatness, and glory, far surpassing the scene just
described.
The Lord will make her that halted a remnant; and gather her that was
driven out and afflicted; and make her who was cast afar off, a strong
nation; and will reign over _them_ in Mount Zion from that time forth
and for ever.
Or, in other words, He will assemble the Natives, the remnants of
Joseph in America; and make of them a great, and strong, and powerful
nation: and he will civilize and enlighten them, and will establish a
holy city, and temple, and seat of government among them, which shall
be called Zion.
