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.
Countries are well cultivated, not
as they are fertile; but as they aro
free. Montesquieu.
Worship.
Ho not so bigoted to nny custom ns
to worship It at the expense of truth.
