yet has lived forever. They all die
sooner or later. What kills them?

But when the Juice has been
squeezed out of these learned and
interesting volumes, the Truth's es
sence turns out to be much the
same as what we can find by read
ing the Old Testament. True, , the
nations under the Old Testament
lens are not big empires like Rome,
still less like the British Empire;
the kingdom of ' Israel was only
about 100 miles long and 60 miles
Wide, while the kingdom of Judah
was smaller than many an Ameri
can county.
Promise
HEN Solomon died the king-,
dom he had Inherited from
David had already shrunk. After
his death, what was left immedi
ately split into two kingdoms, the
on on the south called' Judah and
the one in the north called Israel.
The nation of Israel, which
lasted more than ZOO years, be
, (an with feat promise. Indeed,
one of God' prophet (I King
II) had given to Jeroboam, the
first king, the isnve promise
Which had been given David, of
an enduring kingdom on eon
Edition of obedience to God. -
Everything seemed to be favor
able. Israel had more territory than
F-moit of bar neighbor had, a far
more productive soil, and easy ac
cess to transportation. ;
Crash
ISRAEL should have succeeded;
but it failed. Only a little more
(han 200 years afterwards,, no very
great age as nations go, it crashecj
completely; never' to rise' again.
When the1 walls of its "impregna

; But what were the details? What,
in particular, did the nation of Is
rael do that was wicked? .
Reading the prophet Amos will
give many of the answers. At the
time he preached, by all chamber-of-commerce
standards Israel was
at the peak of production and pros
perity. But he foresaw doom around
the comer,- and he gave reasons.
He called a spade a-spade. Read
ing him, or even reading the bald
er accounts in Kings, we can see
the collapse was no mystery.
Other Gods
a fE thing fundamentally wrong
with Israel was idolatry. Tbis
wa not the . simple matter of
making. carved images; it meant
taking some other "god" to be the
true God. x-rr-.,
We know what the religion
V of Chemlth and Molech and .
v Baal were like; they were tbor- ;
: onghly bad. In the law of the t
trne God, life and parity were .
; regarded as sacred; life and .
