land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord. And it
shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land
of Egypt.” (Isa. 19:19, 20; C. 315.) “The like figure whereunto even
baptism doth also now save us.” (1 Pet. 3:21; Z. ’05‐181, Diagram.) “In
the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, he made a proclamation.” (Ezra
