Israel's history in its turn is symbolic of the race, the universe, the individual, and the church,
for although each has a separate path and individual destiny, yet in broad outline "Holiness unto the
Lord" and "No more Canaanite"; "Jacob shall possess their possessions" and "There shall not be any
remaining of the house of Esau"; "The mystery of Godliness" and "The mystery of iniquity"; "The
kingdom of the Lord," and "The kingdoms of this world" are so many facts indicating the one great
conflict and goal. The course and the destinies of the two seeds are vividly set forth in this people of
signs and symbols, and the day of the Lord foreshadows a yet greater day, the sequence being
suggested in 2 Pet. 3: 10, 12 and 18. "The day of the Lord"; "The day of God"; "The day of the age."
