to such an extent that the wicked
trembled at his words, and feared
him. At last he and his people were
translated, were taken from the
earth, and the disobedient of his day
were left to their own destruction.
The same fate befel the Jewish na-
tion in consequence of their rejec-
tion of the truth, and their treat-
ment of those who were sent unto
them. They put to death the ser-
vants of the Lord and crucified the
Messiah. All that had been predict-
ed concerning them came literally
to pass. Israel as a nation was over-
thrown; their temples destroyed, and
they that escaped death by the
sword were taken captive, and that
people have been trampled under
the feet of the Gentiles for the past
1800 years.

Now we understand there is a
feeling and spirit working among
the Jews to return to the land of
their fathers to re-build their city
and temple and prepare for the com-
ing of Shiloh their King. And
this will in time be accomplished.
We should have faith in God and
His promises, and we should read
the revelations that have come unto
us, and treasure them up. We are
all in the hands of God; He holds
our destiny and the destiny of this
nation. All are held by the power
of God. It is for us to understand
the signs of the times, for these
things are before us. This is not
our work; but if we are true and
faithful in this ministry we shall re-
ceive our inheritances upon the earth
according to the promises. That
our Father may bless us all, and
that we may be true and faithful to
Him and to one another, laboring
with all our might to build up Zion
and to establish His name in honor
in the earth, that at last we may re-
ceive the reward of the faithful, is
my prayer, for Christ's sake. Amen.
