gave to their fathers."
This is NOT referring to the return of Jews to the ancient
land and the present nation set up in 1948, except that this is
preliminary to it--and includes JUDAH ONLY.
But the prophecy given in Jeremiah refers to BOTH Israel and
Judah. It speaks of CHRIST, at His coming, delivering them from
a yet future captivity, and returning in an altogether different
manner than the Zionist movement that led to the present nation
of descendants of JUDAH, who fought their own way back, and have
had wars, and shall, says prophecy, have more.
Listen to Moffatt's translation, beginning in verse 4: "Here
are the words spoken by the Eternal with regard to Israel and
Judah: We have heard a SCREAM OF TERROR; all is alarm and unrest.
Ask now and inquire, if a man is ever with child; for why do I see
every man pressing his hands on his loins, and why is every face
turned to a deadly pallor? Ah, this is an awful Day! what day
is like it?--an hour of anguish for Jacob; but he shall come
through it. For on this Day, says the Lord of hosts, I will break
the yoke from their neck, and snap their thongs; they shall serve
foreigners no more, but serve their God, the Eternal, and their
Davidic king, whom I shall raise up for them."
It is speaking of the RESURRECTION from the dead of the
ancient King David--the time of Christ's return and the
resurrection of the just!
Co-workers, this ought to give you an idea of what trouble
is ahead.
But you and I CAN BE SAVED FROM BEING IN IT! Those of us
who are FAITHFUL, making sacrifices, even if only financial, will
be spared from having to go through it (Rev. 3:10).
Co-workers, I know only too well that very FEW people will
ever heed a warning. But this warning I must give you, for it is
true--and IT IS SURE!
THINK of all the troubles on earth NOW--and yet this TERRIBLE
GREAT TRIBULATION is YET TO COME! It will be indescribably WORSE!
But I am announcing the GOOD NEWS of the soon-coming KINGDOM
OF GOD to bring us WORLD PEACE! God has willed that this wonderful
GOOD NEWS MUST GO OUT FOR A WITNESS TO ALL NATIONS, and it must
go BEFORE Christ comes to FREE our people of what is prophesied
that I have just covered--and free the hundreds of MILLIONS from
extreme poverty, hunger, ignorance, and the whole world from its
monumental TROUBLES.
LET'S HELP SPEED THE DAY! The living Christ is BLESSING YOU.
He expects YOU to respond, even as I devote all my energies to this
monumental task. He is OPENING THE DOORS--your PRAYERS and your
sacrifice are seriously NEEDED to make it possible to go through
those doors.
