Judah's Septere and Joseph's Birthright - Series 2 Chapter 1 The Sceptre or the Promise of a Perpetuated House, Throne and Kingdom to David - J. H. Allen - 1902

J. H. Allen

OUGHT ye not to know that the Lord God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? (II Chronicles 13:5) There is no question, with those who have followed us thus far, that the Birthright people have been cast out into an unknown and far-away country, which, when they entered, was an uninhabited and unexplored wilderness. While Israel has been exploring, pioneering and settling this wilderness, the Lord has so hedged up their way that they can find neither the paths by which they came nor the place from whence they came. Although lost, in so far as their national identity is concerned, they are in the place where the Lord has said they shall find grace, and where he has promised to speak comforting words to their hearts - in the wilderness. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
