6^th Sunday in the fore part of the day I attended
meeting of the Millerites in company with Elder
Young & others. Mr Litz preached from
Jer 24 ch concerning the good & bad figs. isn speaking
of the covenant made to Abraham in giving him the
land of Canaan, he said it was not to seeds but seed
which was Christ, so the land belong to Jesus Christ
& not the Jews but Jesus Christ had rented it to the
Jews at 6 per cent or for evry 10^th & the ownly
terms on which it was given to the Jews, & that
they were robing God all the while, will a man
rob God &c & the Land was taken away from
the Jews & who shall have the land not
the Jews the natural seed. But those that are
Baptised into Jesus Christ & his spiritual children,
the kingdom was to be taken from the Jews &
given to a Nation Bringing forth the fruits there
of which will take place when Christ come
with his Church & Body & will then take
Jerrusalem. -[Why did he not say that it has already
been given to the gentiles & they have also fallen away]-
