BIBLICAL PROPHECY

CONQUEST OF ETHIOPIA “ Foredoomed to Failure ” Writing to the Editor of the Mataj mata Record on the Italian conquest of Ethiopia, Mr. C. E. Knight, of Auckland, interprets Biblical proI phesy as follows:— 1 “ The recent conquest of Ethiopia by Italy will, no doubt, raise the question in many minds: How long can Signor Mussolini retain control of this land? Not for long, for from the Bible we learn that God has spoken on this matter, for ! Ethiopia must remain free to become an ally of Russia in her future invasion of Egypt. “ When Russia makes her great march on Palestine and Egypt, two prophets of the Lord declare that the Ethiopians will help her. (See Ezekeil, 38:5; and Daniel, 11:42-3). “ The war in Ethiopia may possibly lead up to the revival of tho real Roman Empire in Europe, but its extension into Africa outside of Tripoli -is Divinely foredoomed to failure. ■ , - .. u From present events in Germany and Italy it would appear that God is. using 'Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini to bring about tho fulfilment of prophecy as He has similarly used kings, rulers and nations in the past. • - “In any case His Word cannot fail.’’
