Jerusalem and Prophecy

By L. A. R.

Should, therefore, the allies win the war, this is what it seems has been formally agreed regarding Constantinople. It is to pass from the Turk to Russia. Further Mr. Milyukov says, "Palestine must come under some form of international government." But here we come within the direct purview of the prophecy. Over Jerusalem there is to be a struggle, so the prophecy declares. At the holy city, the Turk is to make his last stand, and come to an end, none helping him. Dan. 11: 45. It appears to many that sometime after this war, therefore, Jerusalem will "come under some form of international government;" and when it does, the ancient but holy city will be found "a burdensome stone" to the nations. "All that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded." Why this is so is quite a story apart, and must be left for some future study. Zech. 12: 3. L. A. R.
