4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of Yahweh, in the majesty of the name of Yahweh his Elohim; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.

He shall stand and feed in the strength of Yahweh

Hanging down the head is the order of the day just now with everything connected with Christ; it is the day of probation, the day of suffering - so much so that we are liable to have a feeling that it will never be anything else. Cast this feeling away as an utter illusion.

"Light is sown for the righteous and gladness for the upright in heart."

9 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.

The Non-Resident Subjects of the Kingdom

—The "non-resident subjects of the kingdom" spoken of by Dr. Thomas as being found in the military camps of Israel in the countries of the Gentiles, are the Jews employed in the work of subjugating the world to Christ, during

"the war of the great day of God Almighty."

They will not always be "non-residents;" when the war is over, and the world subject to their King, they will return to their portions allotted to them in the land of promise. The proof is to be found wherever there is a declaration that Israel is to be employed, as under the first Joshua, in breaking to pieces the kingdoms of the Gentiles, of which the following are specimens:

Isaiah 41:15; Jer. 51:20; Micah 4:13; 5:8–9; Zech. 9:13.
