Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Kingdom of Israel: From Its Inception Under Joshua, Its First President, in the Year of the World 2553, to the Second Advent of Christ We come before the public for the ¿rst time, never having written even a short newspaper article in our life, and it may not be amiss, therefore, for us to state that we were induced to do so from a thorough conviction that there was much written in the Bible of a strictly political character applicable to the past, present, and future of our country that has never been noticed or understood as such. We were impressed with a sense of duty to God, ourselves as a nation, and to mankind in general, to take up the subject of Bible Teachings Politically, and to discuss it in a few short notes - noticing a few of the many prophecies that speak and teach nationally that apply strictly to modern times, or "latter days," embracing the rise, progress, and fall of the United States of America, and of the rise of three nationalities out of the fallen United States to ultimate in one; the Confederate States foretold in prophecy as being the chief of the three, and to absorb the other two, as above intimated; and how and when this Union upon the Confederacy was to be effected, and the present war have an end, etc. We make no apology for what we have written, claiming the right accorded to all - of free speech. That right, with others, we are now battling for; and as we claim it, we would withhold it from none, and shall expect that others, in the exercise of that right, may take ground against us upon some points in these notes. If they do not, it will be strange indeed, for we occupy positions in opposition to "names renowned" - in opposition to tenets "hoar with centuries." We are well aware that we have not handled the subject as it deserves to be, nor are our notes more than an introduction to the vast subject. Volumes might, and should at once, be written upon it by hands and heads competent to do it full justice. The times have brought us out. Recent scriptural revealment by fulfillment of prophecy elicited our attention, and a close investigation followed, and these hasty notes are the result. They are very defective as to arrangement and diction. Of this, however, the reader need not be told - the fact is patent. The want in digest could not well be avoided, for we have jotted down our thoughts, running over a period of twelve months or more, and many of them have been written in camp and on the march, with very little privacy, and sometimes without a Bible for reference; and some of our quotations are given from memory, and may in some instances not be literal, but always retaining the sense.
