The nations fire to be Tils Inheri-

A Orcnt rrophecy
In an earlier chapter the
prophet describes mor minutely
the expected Messiah:
"1'ur unto us a child is born
jntu us n son Is given; and the
government shall bo upon hln
shoulder; nnd his name shall bo
called Wonderful. Cousellor Tho
Mighty Uod. Tho everlasting Fa-
11k r. the I'rincc of i'oace
"Of the increase of his govern-
juent and pence there shall bo no
nd upon th0 throno of David and
upon his kingdom to order it and
to establish It with Judgment nnd
with Justice from henceforth even
for ever "
Note the names by which ho U
to be known "Wonderful Conn
wllor. The mighty God The cver-
Usdlnc leather Tho Prince of
Peace.' Thrco of thoso Uppclallona
re supcrlutlvo In degree.
Ho. ii not only mighty but "The
mighty Ood"; he Is to be not only
n l-'nthvr. but nn "everlnatlni; l-'u-
thcr"; and He la to be ''Tho Vrlncc
Of l'eicc "
These words wore apo);cn more
than seen hundred years before
the birth of Christ nnd yet tho
prophet dared to describe- In ad-
anco the glorlpus person who was
to appear on that far-away day.
Tho prophet's description of tho
atexHtiih'H government wsa even
jnore bold "Of tho Increase of his
Kovernment and penco thoro khall
lo no end." Ho even namea the
foundation stones upon which Hint
rternal government is to rest It is
to bo established with Justice and
ivith Judgment.
v Which Is Mor0 Wonderful?
v ImUuIi lived In an age ot Wr-
fare; history was written In chnr-
ncters of ulood; ambitious kings
Involved tho world In continuous
var and assassination of royal
brother by roynl brother wan too
Jroiuent to attract serious ntten-
tloti Uvnasties rosu by murder
nnd king reigned by violence only
to be stricken down.
Although living at such a time.
lalah was nblo to see tho dawning
light of a happier day. abovo tho
boisterous tumult of his times he
could rkh the music of the heav-
enly choir.
Sueh a. government as he fore-
. raw find never existed on earth nnd
nowhere in tho world could he ob-
tain the suggestion that such a
government would over be and yet
he proumlmo'l Us coming de-
rcribod its high character an' pic-
tured the sovereign under whose
benevolent ?wy the world would
havo relief from sorrow and enjoy
perpetual peace.
Which Is more wpnderfulr that
sueh a Christ should actually come
or that His coining should be fore-
told with such distinctness so many
centuries In advance
Chrit nppearaance was not the
Vlirnux of a gradual ascont of the
whole world of a -single people or
of a single race. There was no slow
unfolding each generation rlslns a.

(Isnlnh. 11:1-10; Psalms 2:8).

And the cow and" the benr t-hnll feed; their young ones shall He

And the suckling child shall play on th hole With the asp and

They shall not hurt nor destroy In nil my holy mountain; for the-
onrth shall bo full of the knowledge of tho Lord as tho waters cover

Individuals living today really
represent generations instead of
