power and great glory.’ Those then who pray for the peace of Jerusalem will rejoice for Jerusalem’s sake in its recovery. Those servants of God who take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof, will have their hearts gladdened when they see her rebuilt. But that is not all, or nearly all, for whenever that happens, the whole Church of God, and every member of it in every nation under heaven, may look up and lift up their heads, for the Lord Himself will soon appear. Once more, then, are we taught our deep interest in the decay of Turkey. When Turkey falls there is every hope that Jerusalem will rise; and when Jerusalem rises, the next thing for us to look out for will be the Advent of the Lord. All Christians, therefore, should rejoice in the decline of the Ottoman Empire, for the fall of the Mussulman is the hope of the Jew, and the return of the Jew will be the blessed harbinger of the triumphant advent of her glorious King. Rome beat down Jerusalem, and Rome, as a political power, is no more. Turkey is now treading her down; but its decay is begun, and its days are numbered: so that we may earnestly hope it will be but a little while, possibly a very little while—within the lives of many present—when the great promise of God shall be fulfilled, and, according to the prophecy, ‘The moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of Hosts shall reign in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.’ God grant that all the readers of this little book may be found looking for His appearing, and ready to welcome Him with their lamps burning brightly, when the cry is heard, ‘The Bridegroom cometh!’ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * LONDON: Printed by MERRITT & HATCHER, LTD., Moor Lane, E.C. * * * * * Works on Prophecy and the Second Coming of our Lord Published by CHAS.
