Space will not permit a fuller investigation into these opening sections. We trust
sufficient has been indicated to kindle the reader's interest, and we can confidently leave

Spirit Himself.
JUDGES.
#3.  "Lo-Ammi" (3: - 13:).
A prophetic principle examined.
pp. 207 - 211
Among the many items of dispensational importance in the Book of Judges, one
question of outstanding interest is the way in which Israel and Israel's affairs influence
the computation of times and dates. The question at first seems simple enough. All one
has to do is to add up the periods of the judges' rule and the intervening years of rest, and
the thing is done. As there is no better way of producing conviction than to try things out
for oneself, let us set about this calculation and see what results are obtained.
