GOMjKN Tt:XT "Iok unto mo and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth." Inn. 45.22. PHIMAKY TOPIC The Itenutlfut land of Israel. JUNIOH TOPIC The Land God CIioho for Ills People. INTEKMHDIATi: AND SHNIOH TOP IC Israel In the Midst of thf Nations. YOUNG I'KOPLH AND ADULT TOPIC The Strategic Position of Palestine. I. Israel's Geographical Position (Josh. 1:1-1, cf. K.ek. fitf). Israel, God's chosen and most fa vored nation, the nailon to vvii'tm lie came nearest and p,.c most In order that It might pass on ills goodness to the other nations of the world, was given a most strategic position In the earth. "Palestine was adapted as no other country for God's great purpose of preparing a pure rellglopand send ing It to all the world. To this end u single nation was selected, trained ami placed In the center of tile world, bo that when the time came to publish the true religion all lands could be reached. Palestine was central nnd Isolated, yet accessible, for when the time enme for the apostles to go from Palestine by the Mediterranean sea to tho lands round about it, and from there to other lands, their way wan open." 1. Their Leader (Jnuh. 1 :1). Joshua was Moses' assistant. lie led the Is raelites to victory over the Amalekltes soon after their escape from Kgypt. He was with Moses In the Mount when the law was given, lie was one of the spies sent Into tho land of Canaan. When Moses knew that his time of de puiture wns nigh he appointed Joshua Ids successor. '2. Condition of the Possession of the Land (v. .). The land was theirs by God's promise, but It became theirs only ns their feet advanced to take possession of It. P.ecause of their lack of faith, courage and obedience they never enjoyed the full possession of It. Christians today lack the riches of the Heavenly Father's blesslngs'he causc of their want of faith and cour age. 3. Its r.oundailos (v. 4). On the north It was bounded by the rugged mountains of Lebanon; on the cast by the Ihiphrates river; on the south by the "great and terrible" desert, a barren region through which the chil dren of Israel bad wandered for forty years; and on the west by the Medi terranean sea. It Included nil of Mesopotamia. Israel's lack of faith prevented them from possessing fully this land. II. Israel's Spiritual and National Position (Isa. 2:2-1; 10:2U-2.r). This pictures the place of Influence which shall he exercised by Israel In n future time. 1. When It Shnir P.e (v. 2)--"In the Inst days." Ily "last days" is usually meant In Scripture the timet of the Messiah, for this Is the primary sub ject of all prophecy. 2. What It Shall He (v. 2). Tho restoration of the kingdom of Judith to the place of pre-eminence among the nations of the world. "Mountain" In Scripture symbolizes Kingdom (see Dan. 2::i.r; Iter. 13:1. 17:0-11). This vision of Jon's glory refers to the millennial age, at which time other nations of the world will liMirn of the true God through the choJun nation. a. The Result of (vv. 2-1). The re turn of God's favor to this chosen peo ple shall he "life from the dead." To the nations of the earth (Item. 11 :15). (1) Nations shall How unto it (v. 2). Tills pictures the mirsse.M of the people moving toward Jerusalem like streams from all parts of the earth. (2) Na tions encouraging each other (v. 3). AH Jealousies are now taken from na tions, and with good will to each other they are moving to Jerusalem, the world's capltol. Tliej are going there to be taught of God the right ways to wnlk. They go to ho Instructed out of His holy Word. There is but one wny to peace In the world, that is, hack to God through Ills holy Scriptures. (3) Peace In tho earth (v. 1). When Isreal shall he In her God-appointed place with .Xns Christ as king, then war will be over. The Implements of war will then bo destroyed. (-1) Friendly communication (Isa. 10:2.1 2."). As s.oon as wickedness Is taken from men's heartH they will establish means of friendly communication. Good TldlnQs, How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that hrlngeth good tidings. Isa. 52:7. Holy Scripture. Holy Scripture la n stream of run ning water, where alike the elephant mny swim, and the lamb walk without losing Its feet. Gregory the Great. Cultivated Countries.
