Even that the church should be brought in as His new name servant, as described by Isaiah in the above passage, alluded to as a revealed mystery to and by Paul, Eph 3:3-10<\/span>; Eph 3:21<\/span>.<\/p>\n JERUSALEM AND THE JEW<\/strong><\/p>\n Luk 21:22-28<\/strong><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n JERUSALEM has fallen! was the caption of J literally thousands of articles appearing in newspaper, magazine, and every other form of the printed page, within the week, December 9-16, 1917. The phrase was misleading; it ought to have read, Jerusalem has risen. The walls that in times past, often crumbled, were untouched by the battles that surged about them; the streets that have been crimson again and again with the blood of Jew and Gentile alike, were then unstained by human gore. The report is that not a shot was fired within the precincts of the holy city. The Turk quietly retired and the armies of the allied nations walked in, not with drawn bayonets, but with uncovered heads.<\/p>\n The report that the Christian was in possession of thisthe most sacred city of the centuries thrilled the whole Jewish and Christian world. This was not because it was a city of such military import, a center of such strategic value, but because of its sacred associations, by reason of the hallowed place it has held in human history; and to many men the thrill resulted in enthusiasm because they saw in it the further fulfillment of prophecy.<\/p>\n Men may despise prophecy if they will, and such has been their wont, but, in the language of the great Gordon, prophecy is none the less, the mould of history.<\/p>\n To four remarkable features of this prophetic Scripture let us give attention: To the Dispersion of the Jew; to the Down-Treading of Jerusalem; to the Distress of the Nations, and to the Approaching Redemption.<\/p>\n THE DISPERSION OF THE JEW.<\/strong><\/p>\n There shall be a great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. They shall fall <\/em>by<\/em> <\/strong>the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations.<\/em> It is a short sentence but how significant! It was a prophecy then; it is permanent history now.<\/p>\n The Jew has endured the wrath of God.<\/strong> That wrath he justly invited! The New Testament Gospels are preceded by what we call the Prophets. Not a man from Isaiah, the first of the major Prophets, to Malachi, the last of the minor Prophets, who did not plead with his people to cease from their moral wanderings, to turn back from their moral infidelity, to end their relations with the wicked nations round about, to put away their false gods and their meaningless ceremonies and seek the truth and do justly. In every instance the Prophet associated with his plea a warning against the day of judgment. But the Prophet pled in vain. The chosen people repented not. At last God sent unto them His own Son. Joining hands with the Romans, they killed Him.<\/p>\n Jesus had already prophesied this behavior in the parable of the wicked husbandmen.<\/p>\n There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country;<\/em><\/p>\n And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.<\/p>\n And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.<\/p>\n Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they did unto them likewise.<\/p>\n But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.<\/p>\n But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.<\/p>\n And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.<\/p>\n When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?<\/p>\n He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen. (Mat 21:33-41<\/em><\/span>).<\/em><\/p>\n That prophecy of Jesus had its fulfillment in the judgment against the Jew, and in the proffer of the kingdom to the Gentile. And now for two thousand years the Jew has rested under the judgment of God.<\/p>\n He has also been the subject of the sword of man.<\/strong> Jesus said, They shall fall by the edge of the sword. <\/em>If one turned into the history of the past he would stand amazed to see how many Jews have perished at the edge of the sword. He would not count them by the thousands or hundreds of thousands; their slain are recorded by the millions rather. In Jesus day they had already endured over four hundred years of captivity in Egypt, over forty years of wandering in the wilderness, over seventy years of captivity in Babylon; but there remained for them the dreadful overthrow by the Romans, their coming dispersion and unexampled suffering in the time when Jerusalem should be trodden down by the Gentiles. If we want to follow them to the ends of the earth, it will not be difficult, for it is a trail of shed blood. Perhaps no portion of the old world, not even Belgium excepted, has seen more of suffering, beheld more of human butchery, endured more of the awful agony of a hell above ground, than has Poland, where the majority of all Russian Jews live, and where thousands upon thousands of thesethe people who were once the favorites of Godhave fallen and miserably perished at the hands of the Hun.<\/p>\n He has certainly been enslaved by the nations<\/strong>. Jesus said of the Jews, They shall be led away captive into all nations. <\/em>History is the absolute fulfillment of that prophecy. Dr. Keith declares that the simple fact of their dispersion is one of the most astounding events in human history, and calls attention to the extent and remoteness of the countries which have been the scenes of it, saying, What is more remarkable still, their synagogues are in Christian lands, but it is equally well-known that they are in the cities of China, in the heart of Africa, and even in the desert. Prof. Gaussen is reported as having said, When the Portuguese settled in India they found there three distinct classes of Jews, and when the English took possession of Aden, they found there more Jews than Gentiles. In Russia they number more than seven million; in Morocco, three hundred thousand. Turkey has held at a single time, a full million of them, and our own America has perhaps the largest Jewish community in the world, in the city of New York. One writer declares, There now exists a nation on the earth which, for forty centuries, alone of all the peoples of the world, forms one family, and has descended from one father; the only one which has kept its nationality in the midst of upheavals, of massacres, and of expulsions, through all the ages, under Nebuchadnezzar, and under Charlemagne, Napoleon, and under the empires that have passed away as a shadow, leaving only their names. These empires have perished; their places know them no more, but the Jew remains, standing apart from all other nations, distinct, unique; a thousand times despoiled, and yet rich; constantly slain, and yet ever increasing in numbers; dispersed to the ends of the earth, but more and more united.<\/p>\n I do not wonder that the prince who asked his chaplain for a sufficient proof of the truth of Christianity was answered, The Jew! your Majesty. Critics may say what they please about the authority and authenticity of the sacred Scriptures, but their testimony must forever remain discredited while the prophecies of the Old Testament abide, and Jewish history is known. The latter fits over the former as the glove to the hand. Prophecy is indeed the mold of history!<\/p>\n And all of this applies none the less to the<\/p>\n DOWN-TREADING OF JERUSALEM.<\/strong><\/p>\n Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled (Luk 21:24<\/em><\/span><\/em>).<\/em><\/p>\n When Jesus uttered these words Jerusalem seemed in no more danger from Rome than the average Mohammedan, four years since, imagined her to be endangered by General Allenby and his forces. And yet again the Word of the Lord standeth fast.<\/p>\n The peril of the city was prophesied.<\/strong> The Romans shortly converted that peril into history and that down-treading of Jerusalem has been constantly succeeded; wave after wave has rolled over the sacred city, and left its inhabitants dead in its wake. The Minneapolis Tribune Editor, the morning after the capture of Jerusalem, said, Only Omniscience knows how many thousands or millions of lives have been tossed into the maws of conquest in and around Jerusalem. The city has been the storm center of almost innumerable struggles, political and religious. The cultures of the ages have clashed here.<\/p>\n Aliens were to be its occupants.<\/strong> Trodden down of the Gentiles<\/em>. Aliens have been its occupants; aliens are now its occupants. As you perhaps know, the four quarters of Jerusalem are commonly spoken of as Christians, to the Northwest; Mohammedans, the northeast; Jews, southeast, and Armenians, southwest, and three out of four are Gentiles. Prophecy, I repeat, is the mold of history.<\/p>\n The period of this distress was also prophesied.<\/strong> Until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled<\/em>. That is a period that is positive and definite; and yet to fix the day when it shall end is neither with mans judgment nor human calculation. It is a parenthesis that God is drawing with His own hand, and He alone will decide when to place the last bracket. There is, however, occasion that we should regard the word of the Lord Jesus and not be ignorant of the signs of the times. The fig tree was chosen as the figure of Israel. In the remarkable twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew, where Jesus is devoting Himself wholly to the end of the age, He tells us that when its branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, the summer is nigh. So likewise when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.<\/em><\/p>\n No man can question that ever since this century was born events have been conspiring together that look to the termination of the Jewish dispersion. That there is a spirit of expectation on the part of Jews throughout the world that the end of their dispersion is drawing nigh, is not questioned. I read sometimes since the significant and suggestive thing, that when a Jew builds a home he never completes it. A writer says, The next time you are in London go along by Hyde Park, look at the second house by the gate, which is Lord Rothchilds, perhaps the richest man in the world. Look at the marble pillars in it, and at the cornice above; one of them is unfinished. He is an orthodox Jew and every orthodox Jew when he builds his home leaves a portion unfinished to bear testimony to the fact that he is but a pilgrim and knows that he is not in a permanent abiding place. He has not yet come to the city or the home that makes up his true inheritance. In that unfinished house he bears testimony to all the people with whom he dwells, I am with you as a pilgrim and a stranger; do not expect me to abide. The time of the fulness of the Gentiles shall come, and with it the Jews dispersion will end.<\/p>\n But Jesus continues His prophecy, involving <\/p>\n THE DISTRESS OF THE NATIONS.<\/strong><\/p>\n There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;<\/em><\/p>\n Mens hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken (Luk 21:25-26<\/em><\/span>).<\/em><\/p>\n Time and again we have had this prophecy partially fulfilled; never so perfectly as this morning.<\/p>\n The nations of the earth are now characterized by perplexity.<\/strong> The sun and moon have not darkened as yet, nor have the stars been dimmed; but who knows when even that feature of fulfilling prophecy may be found in the heavens? I was in Chicago some time since. All day long it was as black as night. Every street lamp was burning, every gas jet, and electric light was running, every automobile carried its headlight. They told me it was the soft coal combined with the clouds above, and they told me the truth; but who knows how soon the clouds of human and barbaric battle may bring a long-suffering God to hide His face from the earth and cloud the sun and moon and stars? We know perfectly well that in the Bible the sea and waves are Gods symbol of warring peoples. Truly they are roaring today, roaring as they have never roared furious and frightful! It is nothing short of pathetic to know that men yet occupy pulpits, and in the very moment when prophecy is being converted into history, hold the former to the scorn of their skepticism and twist the latter to a false interpretation. How we need to remind ourselves of the words with which Jesus concluded this prophecy: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Word shall not pass away.<\/em><\/p>\n Mens hearts are now failing them for fear.<\/strong> The reason is exactly what Jesus said, for looking after those things which are coming upon the earth. There has never been a time when so many men were unable to make out the meaning of life. There has never been an hour when the spirit of discouragement held so many hearts in its hand. An associated charities superintendent said, What on earth is the use of my putting in my time, utterly exhausted in body and burdened in mind, trying to clothe a cold child and supply food to a hungry one, while in the very hour of my endeavor for one, the hell of war is making a million more to freeze and starve? When a man died a thoughtful woman remarked, Well, he is better off by far than the rest of us, for he is at least out of the seas of turmoil and the hell that is coming upon the earth. When a ship went down another said, Those sixty fellows will not have to endure what other men will yet suffer. Mens hearts failing them for fear, and for looking for those things which are coming upon the earth.<\/p>\n The powers of the heavens shall be shaken.<\/strong> Surely, some one says, you do not believe that! Why not? The powers of the earth have already been shaken. The powers of the heavens may be. We were in Seattle one night when fifteen tons of dynamite exploded in the bay. It shook the coast for fifty miles. I was in Pennsylvania when munitions exploding not far out of New York resounded in our ears a hundred and twenty miles away. When, at Halifax, a munition ship was exploded, the earth was shaken for more than two hundred miles away. When the San Francisco earthquake occurred, the world itself trembled, and the seismographs of Italy marked its convulsion. We see no scientific difficulty in shaking of the heaven, since we believe that God is the Creator and controller of the universe, and can shake earth or heaven at His will.<\/p>\n In this also we expect prophecy to be the mold of history. It was Ottman who said, The voice that is sounding in these prophecies is not the dying moan of a storm that is spent, but it is the whistling warning of a tumult and tempest that are impending. But to that dull roar of thunder rumbling on in the ages past there is in these years of nervous unrest no moment of time to stop and listen. The prophets of peace are patrolling their beat; they are piping the time of a coming irenicon, and this they are doing in blissful unconsciousness to the portentous signs of the times. The people, like the passengers in a Titanic ship, sail merrily on through the starlit night; they see not the beacon that burns upon the shore; they hear not the whirr of the stormy petrols flight far out to sea; they heed not the hum of the death-watch as they go tossing along the deep; but on they go, with ever accelerating speed, to crash and shipwreck!<\/p>\n But shall we infer from all this an occasion of discouragement? Looking the whole truth full in the face, No! That would be to stop before we had completed the prophecya foolish procedure for the faithful, for When these things begin to come to pass then look up, and lift up your heads.<\/em><\/p>\n How strange! And yet, how Scriptural, and how spiritual, as well. Why? Because of<\/p>\n THE APPROACHING REDEMPTION.<\/strong><\/p>\n These are the things that give promise of four of the most desirable events that can come into human experience: The Restoration of Jerusalem, the Return of the Lord, the Redemption of the Jew, and the Reclamation of the World. What a glorious prospect!<\/p>\n The Restoration of Jerusalem.<\/strong> Every good student of Gods Word knows full well that Jerusalem is as certainly a city with a future as God is faithful to His own promise. At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the Name of the Lord, to Jerusalem (Jer 3:17<\/em><\/span><\/em>).<\/em> Zechariah said, I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; they shall be My people, and I will be their God in truth and righteousness (Zec 8:8<\/em><\/span><\/em>).<\/em> Again Jerusalem shall dwell safely (Zec 14:11<\/em><\/span><\/em>).<\/em> You may have heard the legend which represents two venerable rabbis as musing among the ruins of Jerusalem. One of them is giving away to unrestrained lamentation, saying Alas! alas! this is the end of all. Our beautiful city is no more; our Temple is laid waste; our brethren are driven into captivity. But the other replies, True, but let us learn from the verity of Gods judgments, the certainty of His mercies. He hath said, I will destroy Jerusalem, and hath He not done it? But He hath also said, I will rebuild Jerusalem, and shall we not believe Him? <\/p>\n And along with the rebuilding of Jerusalem there is associated the promised return of the remnant.<\/strong> Perhaps no subject of Scripture is so fully treated by the Prophets of God as is this. He who scattered Israel, declares, I will gather them again (Jer 31:10<\/em><\/span><\/em>).<\/em> And He has promised to bring them from the four corners of the earth, out of all the countries, and plant them in that land assuredly (Isa 11:13<\/em><\/span><\/em>),<\/em> and make them one nation in the land upon the mount of Zion (Jer 32:37<\/em><\/span><\/em> f),<\/em> that the Children of Judah and the Children of Israel should be gathered together, and shall appoint Himself one head (Eze 37:1<\/em><\/span><\/em>).<\/em><\/p>\n How remarkably the whole Zionist movement fits into the approaching fulfillment of this prophecy! For years money, amounting to millions, has been accumulated looking to the return of the Jew to his own land. Some of the greatest Jews of the world have ardently favored it and thousands and tens of thousands of them have associated themselves with that intent. When, therefore, it was reported that the allies had conquered the city of Jerusalem, Israel Zangwill, the great leader of this movement, saw at once the possible realization of the dream of a Jewish Republic, and reminded himself of the promise that Mr. Balfour had made that if the allies did conquer, they would stand pledged to the erection of a Jewish State in Palestine. How wonderfully prophecy and history are running together!<\/p>\n And now listen! Is any man so foolish as to believe that the words of Jesus are true until He reaches the point concerning His own personal Return,<\/strong> and then they are either false or meaningless? Yes, there are such men! To them the promised Return of the Lord has no meaning except some farfetched interpretation such as Christs coming in this war. It is a wonder such teachers would not go to the length and say Christs coming in the clouds refers to the creation of the modern aircraft and with power and great glory to the exploits of this scientific discovery!<\/p>\n But when we remember that the redemption of the Jew waits the time when the eyes of every Jew shall look on Him whom they pierced, and shall mourn on account of Him, and Christ shall then redeem them; and when we remember that the reclamation of the world waits that other hour when He shall put His feet on Mount Zion, establish the throne of David, and begin a reign that shall extend from sea to sea and that shall put down all enemies, the experience of which shall be a universal peace and an unprecedented prosperity, and the characterization of which shall be righteousness, those of us who are students of the Book refuse to have this blessed hope torn from our Bibles or taken from our believing hearts.<\/p>\n We hail, therefore, the coming of Jerusalem into Christian hands as a prophecy of the return of Israel to the land of promise, and as that shall occur we shall look on that as a further prophecy of the coming of the Lord, the conquest of righteousness, the reign of peace, the reclamation of the world. The answer to Henry Vaughans prayer we confidently believe may yet be our experience.<\/p>\n O then that I Might live, and see the olive bear Her proper branches, which now lie Scattered each where,And without root and sap decay,Cast by the husband-man away,And sure it is not far!<\/p>\n For surely He Who loved the world so as to give His only Son to make us free,Whose Spirit, too, doth mourn and grieve To see man lost, will, for old love,From your dark hearts this veil remove.<\/p>\n (22) These be the days of vengeance.<\/strong>The words answer to the great tribulation of St. Matthew and St. Mark, and seem, as indeed does St. Lukes report of the discourse throughout, to be of the nature of a paraphrase. The word vengeance may have been chosen, on this view, in allusive reference to the teaching of Luk. 18:7-8<\/span>. It may be noted as one which, though not exclusively used by them, is yet characteristic both of St. Luke and St. Paul (Rom. 12:19<\/span>; 2Co. 7:11<\/span>; and 2Th. 1:8<\/span>). The reference to the things which are (better, have been<\/em>) written, is peculiar to St. Luke.<\/p>\n “For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.”<\/p>\n And the reason that they are to flee is because these are the days of vengeance, the days when God visits the people who have rejected Him with judgment. For the days of vengeance compare especially Deu 32:35-36<\/span> LXX where they are a part of what will happen as a result of breach of the covenant; Isa 61:2<\/span>, where the day of vengeance follows the coming of the great prophet and the proclamation of the Good News; Hos 9:7<\/span>; Jer 46:10<\/span>. God has had many days of vengeance, but as Jesus will go on to say, these particular ones will be long and protracted.<\/p>\n Luk 21:22<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>For these be the days of vengeance,<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> “These are the days of vengeance, <\/em>wherein the calamities foretold by Moses, Joel, Daniel, and other prophets, as well as those predicted by our Saviour, shall meet in one common centre, and be fulfilled with aggravated wrath on this nation.” These are the days of vengeance <\/em>too, in another sense; as if God’s vengeance towards an obstinately impenitent nation had certain periods and revolutions, and the same days <\/em>were fatal to the impenitent Jews. For it is very memorable, and matter of just admiration, according to Josephus, that the temple was burned by the Romansin the same month, and on the same day of the month, as it was before by the Babylonians. <\/p>\n 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 22.
