14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith Yahweh; for I am [was] married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

This gathering of Israelites of the tribe of Judah, "one of a city and two of a family" (Jer. 3:14) to Zion, will result from the angel proclamation in midheaven [Rev 14: 6]. Being fed by pastors according to Yahweh's own heart with knowledge and understanding, the veil will be removed from the minds of many, who will become willing (Psa. 110:3) to emigrate from among the nations and return to their fatherland. Yahweh, the Man of War, will bring them there - "I will bring you," saith He, "to Zion".

Eureka 14.6.

17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Yahweh; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of Yahweh, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.

When these promises become accomplished facts, AN ISRAELITISH KINGDOM AND EMPIRE will exist upon the earth, transcending in the greatness of its power, the extent of its dominion, the splendour of its majesty, and the justice and beneficence of its rule, any sovereignty existent since nations occupied the earth. This is that dominion of which the gospel of the kingdom treats.

Herald of the Kingdom and Age to Come, August 1853.

"At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Yahweh; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to THE NAME OF YAHWEH, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart" (Jer. 3:I7).

This is a very plain testimony. Jerusalem is to become the throne of a government which is to have universal dominion; and that when it exists, the nations will have abandoned the strong delusion, or "imagination," by which they are now deceived. The occupation of the "Reverend Divines" of "Christendom" will then be gone. All names and denominations of blasphemy ending in ism will then be abolished; and they will be all as clean swept away as was the old world by the flood.

What a glorious riddance for the world! The "seducing spirits...... the demons...... the captivators of silly women laden with sins," the "transformed ministers of Satan," teachers heaped up to themselves after their own lusts to tickle their itching ears: men of corrupt minds, who speak lies in hypocrisy; unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness - these, with all their old wives' fables and traditions, will all have been precipitated as Satan, with lightning velocity from the heavens, into the promiscuous confusion of the bottomless abyss.

No clergyman will then venture to lift up his voice to sermonize the people; for

"It shall come to pass that when any shall yet prophesy (or preach), then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of Jehovah [Yahweh]: and they shall thrust him through when he prophesieth. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets (or preachers) shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear hair garments to deceive"

(Zech. 13:3,4).

If the ecclesiastics were to be dealt with upon this principle at the present time, not a soul of them would escape death upon the spot; for it is their craft to "speak lies in the name of Yahweh," and to wear peculiar garments for professional deceit. The world that now fawns upon and flatters their vanity, and glorifies their foolishness, will then curse their memorial.

In that day of affliction to the Apostasy, it is testified, that

"the Gentiles shall come unto Yahweh from the ends of the earth, and shall say: Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit" (Jer. 16:19).

This is what they will say of Episcopalianism, Presbyterianism, Lutheranism, Methodism, Congregationalism, Universalism, Mormonism, Millerism, Campbellism, Romanism, Greekism, etc. - - all false, vain, and unprofitable. This is their true character; for they make up the ecclesiasticism of the nations; and how is it possible for drunken nations, overspread with strong delusion as a thick veil, to hew out for themselves cisterns capable of holding water from the fountain of life?

Eureka 1.1.2

21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten Yahweh their Elohim.

There are those who presume upon their standing in the truth, and who forget that they have been called to obedience in many things required of them; and that their continuance in that Gospel is essential to their continuance in the position of favour to which they have been called by the Gospel.

This class have none of the sorrows of the truth, and rejoice after the flesh in their connection with it. They look at others with disdain, and glory in their own enlightenment. They say like Israel,

"The people of the Lord, the people of the Lord, the people of the Lord are we,"

but like them fail to sustain the character and position becoming the people of the Lord; but they were cut off for all that, because while with their mouth they drew near to God, with their heart they were far from Him.

So men may speak the truth in a technical sense in claiming to be the brethren of Christ, because they believe and have obeyed the Gospel, and at the same time they may be walking in utter unworthiness of the position, and may be in as great danger of being cut off as the natural branches of the good olive tree. Such have need to remember Paul's exhortation:

"Be not high-minded, but fear: for if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he spare not thee" (Rom. 11: 21).

To such, the exhortation has to be changed into a call to weeping:

"Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord."

For what purpose are men grafted into Christ as branches into the living tree? It is that they may grow and bring forth fruit unto God-fruit that God will have pleasure in. So Christ has plainly told us.

"Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he (my Father) taketh away…. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit."
