There are many different points in connection with the army of Israel, needful to bring out in separate identities, in order that their intrinsic import may be fairly seen. Israel, from the first, was a strong war power, and they could not have been this without an army. When in exile, they were to be "as though they were not cast out," i.e., to be exactly the same kind of people out of the land as they were in the land, so that, as they were with,, an army then, they must. have an army now. The Lord said to Israel that " All the people of the earth . . . . shall be afraid of thee" (Deut. xxviii. 10). "Happy thou, 0 Israel, .... thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee, and thou shalt tread upon their high places" (Deut. xxxiii. 29). " He increased his people Israel greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies" (Ps. CV. 24). These Scriptures were said of Israel, with scores more to the like effect, when they were in the enjoyment of the land, but the following were issued to Israel after their captivity, so that they must apply to them at the present time, and establish the position we have laid down of their being in possession of a powerful army. "Therefore shall the STRONG PEOPLE glorify thee" (Isa. xxv. 3). "They that strive with thee shall perish, . . . they that war against thee shall be as nothing" (Isa. xli. 12). "The nations (Gentiles) shall see and be confounded at. all their (Israel's) might" (Micah vii. 16).

THE IDENTITY indicates the world-known, fact, that the British nation has the most powerful army in the world: Israel's was to be the most powerful: ergo, we must be Israel
