all the prophets, and all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your

evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, accord-

ing to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I

sent unto you by my servants the prophets. Notwithstanding
they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck
of their fathers, that did not believe in the Lord their God.".. 1

LECTURE II.

2 KINGS, XVII. 22. 23.

"For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam

which he did; they departed not from them; until the Lord re-

to Assyria, unto this day.".

LECTURE III.

2 KINGS, XVII. 18. 19. 20.

"Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed

them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah

only. Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their

God, but walked in the statutes of Israel, which they made. And

the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and

delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them

out of his sight.".

score and ten years.'

"Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto

that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision con-

give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days;

then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.”

"I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body,

and the visions of my head troubled me. I came near unto one

of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So

he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.

These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall

arise out of the earth. But the saints of the Most High shall

take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for

ever and ever.
