THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN IN PROPHECY: PART TWO - Herbert W Armstrong - December 1978

Herbert W Armstrong

The very fate of the Bible as the revealed Word of God-the evidence of the existence of God - hangs on the answer to this momentous question: Did God keep the promises of national wealth and greatness He made to the patriarch Abraham? The Jewish people did not fulfill these promises. They do not refer to the Church. Did God fail? Or has He made good this colossal promise unknown to the world? The true answer is the most astonishing revelation of Bible truth and of prophecy. Now we come to a most vital distinction, and a bit of Bible truth known to but a very few. Very few, indeed, have ever noticed that the promises to Abraham were twofold. But the Bible itself makes sharp distinction between these two phases of the promises. The spiritual promises - the promises of the "one seed," Christ, and of salvation through Him-the Bible calls the scepter. But the material and national promises relating to many nations, national wealth, prosperity and repower, and possession of the Holy Land, the Bible calls the birthright. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
