“And the kingdom and dominion, and
the greatness of the kingdom undi-r the
whole heaven shall be given to the peo
ple of the saints of the most High,
whose kingdom is an everlasting king
dom, all douiiiiions shall serve and obey
him.-’
These predictions are pregnant with
the most important events. They por--
tend the prostration of kings and the
mii^hty ones of ihe earth from their el
evated thrones,—the final overthrow
and extirpation of anarchy,—of di-spo-
tism, and all the governments of the
world which arc in opposition to tho
government of Jehovah. 'I'hen it may
1)0 asked, where are those brave heroes
and mighty emperors, whose deeds and
achievements have filled up the pages of
history—who seated themselves upon
thrones,—who ro^e,—who flourished,
—who conquered ; who j)ointed the
thunder of their artillery at imperial ci-
jties Tiiil pojiuloiH countries, and they
were laid waste before them ; who soun
ded the knell of peace and gave the sig
nal i.!'vengeance, and sjilendid empires
and kingdoms trembled to the centre
of their thrones. Whore now are those
conquerors? 'rheir races were short,
but splendid, like the brilliant star that
twinkles on th; liorizon for a moment
and disaj)j)cars.
These predictions carry the eye of
contemplation forwaid to that glorious
era when tho gospel ihall have been
preached and the banners of the cross
unfurled, in all lands,—when nations
will learn war no more—when there
will be no more battles with confused
noise and gnrnuMits rolled in blood—
wlien every disjjosition hostile to the
peace of society shall be liushed ins,
lence. Then viidence shall no mor>^
be heal'd in the land, wasting nor de
struction within our borders. 'I'hev
point to that pei iod when Jesus Chris;,
shall be king of nations as he is now
king of saints, and shall reign i)y tiu)
power of his gospel in tho hearts of al
the dwellers upon earth. Then,
“ To Him shall eiulle.ss pr.ayer he made.
And ciidkss blcs.sings crown his head ,
His name like sweet perfume 8h;ill rise
M ith cwry evening’ sacrifice.
“ People anil realm.> of every tonj^uc
Dwell on liis love with sweetest sen^;’;
And infant v )i; m lo i 1 procLi in
Tlicir early ble'^>intjs on his naniL-.”
They indicate a time when all tiie
false doctrines and false systems of reli
gion slnll have passed away,—whenall
imp osters and false teaehcis s'lall either
l;avo become trophies i.fdivina ijrace or
shall have passed offthe stage. Finally,
these; predictions in their accomjilish-
meiit, approximate to that day when the
mighty seraj)h shall sound the kneli
of time, and when all the votaiies of the
Christain religion shall enter into the joy
of their Lord, and shall shine as the sun
in the. kingdom of tlieir Father—wlier.
Ihe glory of the world shall all pass away
—when imper ial cities which have stood
for ages, splendid kingdoms and em-
pires siiall have g«ne down the tide of
time and vanished lor ever—when the
tem can never be n o'ved.*» The storms
of passio!i n)ay beat a_,>-ainst it—the thun-
tiers of t}rr;Miical and desjiotic denun
ciation may endeavor to(»verthrow it—
and the powers of dai kness may exert
their ii.fluence to >eslroy it ; but it will
stand unmoved. The success of reveal
ed religion in the ages whicii have gone
hy has been jilorious. Unjjaralh led in
the annals \of human afl’airs, is its pres-
e.it -iiiccess. It is becoming the desire
of nations—fhejoy of the whole earth.
