Doyou know that a new World Order is being inaugurated and.that the English-speakingandkindredpeopleshavebeengiven aspecial mission in itsdevelopment? Wereyouaware that the United States of America and the British Commonwealth of Nations have become the rallying point for the forces of world reconstruction and prog- ress? Is it a matter of interest to you that this Com- pany of Nations is about to accomplish its age-old des- tiny by emerging as the nucleus of the Kingdom of God on Earth? Nearlyfourthousandyearsago, Almighty Godcom- menced to build a demonstration nation, which He declared should be an object lesson—a working model—for the bene(cid:191)t of all the peoples of the earth. He selected one man, Abraham, to whom He permitted a glimpse of His great plan and purpose. To Abraham and to his son and grandson, Isaac and Jacob, God made a series of promises. These prom- ises, which are known as “ The promises to the fa- thers," were of such vital importance that—as the New Testament assures us-]esus Christ came to con(cid:191)rm them. They were entirely unconditional; they were in no way dependent upon the conduct of 7 8 INTRODUCTION the persons to whom theywere made. Therewereno stipulationsorprovisosofanydescription. Theywere guaranteed by God's Holy Name: therefore no power in the universe could ever cancel them. Conversely, their ful(cid:191)lment is as certain as that night follows day. What Were the Promises? “ The promises to the fathers,” which now so ur- gently concern this generation, may be brie(cid:192)y sum- marized as: a. Thatan especial “ seed "shouldbedescendedfrom them, who should be a blessing to all the families of the earth. b. That they should be the progenitors of a multitu- dinous race of people who should be used as a ve- hicle for conveying bene(cid:191)t to the world at large. c. That their descendant race should become a “ Na- tion and a Company of Nations” spreading abroad over the face of the earth. d. That these people should possess the “gate ” or strategic control over the movementsof those who, from time to time, became their enemies. e. That the large territory stretching from the River Euphrates to the border of Egypt should become the heritage of these people. INTRODUCTION 9 Were thePromisesFul(cid:191)lled? Everyone knows that the (cid:191)rst promise was abun- dantly ful(cid:191)lled. ]esus Christ— the especial seed- duly came. He has been, and always will be, the su- preme blessingconferred upon mankind by Almighty God. Most people know, too, that the other promises commenced to beful(cid:191)lledin the birthandsubsequent developmentoftheancientnationofIsrael. Yetmany feel vaguely that, with the apparent disappearance of Israel from the center of world affairs, the complete ful(cid:191)lment of the promises is suspended, lost—even abandoned. WhatHappened to thePromises? One thing is absolutely certain: God has not for- gotten His promises. Although, as will be explained later, His Kingdom people— Israel—acted in such amanneras to delay their ful(cid:191)lment, the promises are now in process of being ful(cid:191)lled to the same people under a new name. Proof will be forthcoming that the English-speaking peoples and their kinsmen are the direct lineal descendants of the so-called “-lost ” people of Israel.
