'The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the

Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place' (Psa. 68:17).

Stephen in his last speech described his hearers as those:

'Who have received the law by the disposition of angels' (Acts 7:53).

The interpretation, therefore, that is still advocated, namely, 'The

coming with and the coming for His saints' is based upon a false

dispensational understanding and a false interpretation.

To the devoted city, however, at length comes peace and blessing.

Israel is to be a kingdom of priests, and consequently the very bells on the

horses shall bear the words, 'Holiness unto the Lord', while the pots used in

Jerusalem shall be as sacred as the bowls before the altar.  The 'cup' of

trembling is exchanged for the 'pot' of holiness, symbols indeed of a mighty

change.  At long last 'the Canaanite' shall be for ever expelled from the

house of the Lord, and the reign of righteousness shall begin.

Much indeed remains to be expounded.  The geological rift that has been

reported as observable is all ready for the touch of the finger of God (Zech.

14:4,5); the awful parallel of the judgment of Zechariah 14:12, with the

observed results of the dropping of an atomic bomb; the evident maceration of

the nations, 'every one that is Left' (Zech. 14:16), cannot now be examined.

Our present purpose is rather a survey of the prophets as a whole than a

detailed exposition of one of them.  We can but leave the student who

delights in the Word, with the pointers already provided, and pray that as

each one pursues these studies, the Lord Who inspired the prophet to speak,

will continue His gracious illuminations to those that seek.

Some of the subjects dealt with in this article have been given a

fuller consideration under separate headings.  We believe, however, that the

presentation of the truth concerning a number of features that are peculiar

to the Millennium in one article will be welcome, and that the preservation

of the pamphlet called forth by the controversial points that had been raised

in some quarters, justifies its place in this Analysis.  In one or two places

it has been revised.

We have doubtless heard of the little old lady who drew such comfort

from 'that blessed word Mesopotamia', and have passed it over with an

indulgent smile.  Yet we all seem to have been bewitched by the word

Millennium, for no such term is found in Scripture.  The word has passed

beyond the confines of Scriptural exegesis, to the world outside, so that a

Member of Parliament may dismiss a suggestion as 'thinking we can bring about

the Millennium!'

'All engineering commences on the drawing board'.  A moment's

reflection will show how sane this observation really is.  If only expositors

of the Scriptures would get the overall plan of Prophecy before them, and

then see how far their theories fit or fail, what a deal of trouble,

misunderstanding and false teaching would have been spared.  The reader will

perceive that this principle is before our mental vision in all the attempts

in this analysis to piece the intricate subjects of Prophecy together.  For
