“ At present, and ever since the commencement of " the Times of the Gentiles "with the Babylonish captivity, the glory has departed from Israel, and since then the word " Ichabod" is written over their whole history. " Where is the glory ? " their land is laid waste, their Temple destroyed, themselves scattered and tossed about among the nations. But this " Ichabod " period will not last for ever. ”

“ AND THE COVENANTS 63
as there is a God of truth, every item and promise in those cove- nants, from the highest and greatest contained in the words " I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more ; I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts ; I will be their God, and they shall be My people ; they shall all know Me from the least of them unto the greatest of them" down to the minutest promise in reference to the possession of their land, and their future national prosperity in it, shall all be fulfilled in His own good time. ”
