The Jews a Witness.

IN the wonderful plan of God and in the light of His prophetic word, the very wrath of man is made to praise Him. If men are obedient, God will use their obedience to get glory to Himself. If they are disobedient, they will so fulfil in their own lives His divine prophecy as to show Him to be the God of truth whatever the course of those concerning whom the prophecy is given. Thus it has been with the Jews. Their whole history is outlined in the oldest books of the Bible, Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28. There were they told that should they rebel against God and go the way of the heathen, they would be scattered to every kingdom and people in the world. We are told that they would be separated from the nations, that they should be in fear and dread wherever they went, persecution would follow them. How true that has been. Go where you will and you will find the Jew. Go where you will and ill-treatment has also followed him.
When old skeptical Frederick the Great asked the court preacher in a sneering way, "What evidence have you that the Bible is true?" the faithful man of God could give no better reply than the laconic answer, "Sire, the Jews."
