    dominion ; the subversion of the Mahomedan power ; iyid * the accom- p lishment of the Divine indignation against the holy people / on the re- turn of the people of Israel * to seek the Lord their God , and David their

    king / Oar blessed Saviour hath not left an event of this importance without notice . * The Jews / saith he , * shall be led away captive into all nations , and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles , until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled . ' Luke xxi . 24 . What these times of

    the Gentiles are , our Lord has explained in his subsequent revelation to John : * The court which is without the temple is given unto the Gentiles ; and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months ; or in prophetical language , at a day fora year , 1260 years / Rev . xi . 2 . *

    " The Apostle hath also recorded this event : 4 l would not brethren that ye should be ignorant of this mystery , that blindness in part is happened to Israel , until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in ; and so all Israel shall be saved / Rom . xi . 25 .

    The fulness of time for the conversion of the Gentiles will be come in , when the Mahomedan and Papal obstructions are removed . Such events as the fall of the Pope in the

    West , and of Mahomed in the East , both of whom persecuted the Jews to death , will probably be the means of awakening the Jews to consider the evidences of that religion which predicted the rise and fall of both .

    " It is very well known in the East , " says Dr . B ., " at what time Mahomed appeared - Let the Mahomedan then be informed , that he is to count from the Hegira , ( the flight of Mahomed from Mecca , in 622 , ) and

    then expect the fulfilment of a remarkable prophecy , made by Christ , whom the Koran acknowledges to be ' a true Prophet / Let him be informed explicitly , that the reign of Mahomedanism will then have an end . ' Is there any man , calling himself

    predictions , does not proceed so commonly from principles of infidelity , as from ignorance of facts—pure ignorance of historical facts . There are men of liberal education in England , who are more ignorant of the history of the world , ancient and modern , in connexion with the revelation of God * than

    some Hindoos and Arabians , whom we know in the East , and who have not been Christians more than a few years . Our Saviour reprehended this negligence of * the word spoken from heaven * in these words , * Ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth ; but how is it that ye cannot discern this time £ '

    •* But the grand prophecy of the Apostle Paul on this subject , is that which respects the consequence of the conversion of the Jews . * The receiving of the Jews , " saith he , * what shall it be to the world , but life from the dead ? '' Rom . xi . 15 . Dispersed

    as the Jews are in all countries , they form a body of p reachers ready prepared , and they need only say , ' Behold the Scriptures of God are in our possession / read our history there , as foretold 3 , 000 years ago , and read the events in the annals of nations . We

    are witnesses to the world , and the world to us . Let the whole race of mankind unite and examine the fact , * AJ 1 ye inhabitants of the world , and dwellers on the earth , see ye , when the Lord lifteth up an ensign on the mountains : and when he bloweth a
