2 and a way. The redeemed ransomed of the Lord With of the wells of salvation." Prophecies Of A King (Continued From Page 1) shall walk there the. joy shall ye drain water out What expectations! But hardly still believable. Even in Isaiah's own day, even though he held aristocratic prestige in the royal court, many spurned his words. They called him disloyal, a betrayer.

So why still heed his ancient words? All men know this nation ever since has felt the lash and yoke of conquerorsAssyrian, Egyptian, Macedonian, Persian, Babylonian, Roman. A world kingdom, indeed! Still the old words prick the mind, like never dying embers. More goading still, with these reckless rumors abroad from Bethlehem, is that so many other prophets had the same presentiments. All were discerning men, driven by some inner mandate to be spokesmen for the Lord. That priestly prophet Malachi, 450 years before the reign of Herod, lashed at the hollow ritual, the laxity and idol-bowing of his day, and spoke these words of.

the Lord: "Behold, I. will send My the way before Me, and the suddenly to the temple and Purifier Messenger and He shall prepare Lord whom ye seek shall come And He shall sit as a Refiner Even further back, 1,000 years or more, prophets heralded a coming illustrious one- Joel, Amos and others. They said he would be as a light, and even Gentiles, far and near, would be drawn to its brilliance. Unthinkable! Gentiles have their own gods: Then, too, it was told he would be a man of sorrows before his glory could be known. It is hard to calculate the meanings.

About Isaiah's time, there was another younger prophet, Micah, a vigorous country man from Morsheth. And yes, he pointed to this very town these tongues are waggling about: "But thou Bethlehem, though thou be little. yet out of thee shall He come forth that is to be Ruler Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. And He shall stand in the majesty of the name of the Lord great unto the ends of the earth. And this Man shall be Peace A man? A.

God? From everlasting? What do they speak of? It was the Prophet Zechariah, who added these perplexing words about 500 years ago; "Behold, thy King cometh unto thee; He is just and having salvation; lowly and riding upon an His dominion shall be from sea even to sea, from the river even unto the ends of the earth." Most unseemly- a "lowly" ple raise up a king of any kind, more in Syria, others in Rome, Jerusalem, now overrun by aliens king! How could our Jewish peowith a million of us in Egypt, and less than 100,000 left in and their ways? Yet, that gentle, wise and rapier-tongued prophet, Jeremiah, who endured prisons and floggings for his piercing wisdom, also insisted that such a one would come- -that the Lord would make "a new covenant." It agitates one to ponder these things. But they seem to sweep into the thoughts from the very air. Just about 200 years ago the prophet Daniel had his "Behold, one like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven and there was given him dominion and glory an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away." Truly, all this is bewildering. But the words remain, like unquenchable flames. You cannot believe, but you do believe, locked in the words of ancient days, captive to.

the music of Isaiah, bound to the voice he drew from the Almighty: "Fear not, for I am with thee. Let all the nations be. gathered together and let the people be assembled. And a little Child shall lead them Arise, shine, for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee Lift up thine eyes Sing unto the Lord a new song "For unto us a Child is born. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low.

And He shall feed the flock like a shepherd, He shall gather the lambs with His arms and carry them in His bosom and shall gently lead (Tomorrow: A spark in a pagan night) Mrs. Sallie Jones Funeral Is Held Funeral services for Mrs. Sallie May Jones, 82, of 2950 Maryland in Lone Oak, were held at 2:30 p. m. today at Roth Funeral Chapel, with the Rev.
