I Israel’* Exalted Position (Exod.
19:1-0),
The descendants of Abrnhnrn had
now become a multitude und the time
bad come to orgnnlze them Into n
nation. In order to enable them to see
xvhat a wonderful privilege was theirs,
God displayed Ills majesty on Mount
Sinai. In Ills message to them, Me
gave them a look backward and for
ward.
1. A Review of Their I’ast History
(v. 4). lie reminds them of what Ho
had done to the Egyptians when He
brought them out of their cruel bond
age, and that Ills divine care over them
had been as that of an eagle over her
young. He had not merely brought
them out of Egyptian bondage, but
unto Ilimself. Hod’s salvation Is not
merely deliverance from sin, but a
union with Ilimself.
2. Promises of Future Greatness
(vv. 5, 0). On condition of obedience
to Ills voice, and faithfulness to their
covenant obligations, He promised
them a peculiar relationship to Him.
This relationship Is three-fold:
■ (1) The Lord's Peculiar Treasure
■Above All People. This Is the trensure
of Matt. 13:44. If this Is recognized,
the parable Is quite cleur. Failure to
allow Scripture to Interpret Scripture
results In confusion.
(2) A Kingdom of Priests. “A King
dom whose citizens are ull priests liv
ing wholly In God’s service and ever
enjoying the right of access to Him.”
In this kingdom there Is united aueer-
dotal privilege and royal dignity.
(8) A Holy Nation. A nntlon set
apart for the work of God. Realizing
this, they would be Impelled to a
standard of living which would be
worthy of their high calling. Separa
tion from sin and a positive stund for
the right would always he demanded.
The failure of this chosen nation is
largely the explanation of the world’s
distress. Had Israel shown the nations
the way to go, they would not huve
gone so far Into sin.
II. Israel’s Pressing Obligation
(Isa. 43:9-11).
1. God’s Challenge to the Heathen
Nations (v. 9). They were asked to
assemble their witnesses to see If they
were able to make known the future
as God had done through the prophets
of Israel, They are either to make
good their predictions or to acknowl
edge the truth as declared by God’s
prophets, namely, that God Is the
only God.
2. Israel. God's Witness (v. 10). This
nntlon had been brought so clearly Into
touch with God, had so many times ex
perienced His mighty hand to deliver,
that they were competent witnesses.
Not only the nation was a witness, but
the prophets from that nation had so
many times witnessed and their pre
dictions were so completely fulfilled
that the whole world knew that God
was the one and only God and Savior.
The only way the world can know that
God Is a forgiving God Is through the
witnessing of His redeemed people.
How sorely this testimony Is needed 1
How miserable has been Israel’s fail
ure!
III. Israel’s Message (Isa. 45:20-
22).
The message which Isruel was to
give was that God was the Savior of
all the nations. Israel misinterpreted
and misapplied this message. They
claimed Him as their God and denied
Him to the heathen. Though they have
thus fulled and tl^e world is In dark
ness because of It, one day they shall
go to the ends of the earth with It, and
the result will be the ushering In of the
Golden Age of which men of all ages
have dreamed.
1. The Idolatrous Nations Are In
vited to Draw In.
2. They Are Challenged to Bring
Their Reasons for Worshiping Idols
in the Light of the Fact That God the
Savior Was the Only God.
8. They Are Given an Invitation to
Look Unto God. They were not asked
to do something to be saved, but to
look to the Savior. Sinners today
need only to look to Christ. What a
Wonderful day when Israel shall de
clare this message to all nations In the
power of the Holy Spirit 1

“Strong £

“T WISH you could know how
JL much I am improved since
taking the Cardui,” writes
Mrs. Nannie Brown, of Black
Rock, Ark. “You wouldn’t know
me for the same weak invalid I
was before I took it At my ... I
had to keep off my feet or I would
fall. I couldn’t do my housework,
and just got where I’d most as lief
be dead as living. Some one told
my husband of Cardui. He got
it for me and I took three bottles
before I stopped—then off and on
for the last three years just as a
tonic. I saw a decided improve
ment after my first bottle. I used
the three, and was able to do my
work with ease, and now I sew
for my family and for others. I
am feeling fine, and strong and
well.”
Take Cardui! It may be Just
the medicine you need.
