King of the South

Answers Concerning Prophecies and things future #20

King of the South

If it be a true principle, as laid down by Dr. Thomas, that

“In speaking of the events of these days, the prophets refer not to races of men, but to powers on territories designated by the names of the people who anciently inhabited them”,

then, whatever power possesses Egypt, such power is, for the time being, King of the South (of the Holy Land). That is why Dr. Thomas spoke of Mehemet Ali*, when in possession of Egypt, as “King of the South”. Thus Britain has since become King of the South for the same reason; and thus also the Lord Jesus Christ will become King of the South when He takes possession of Egypt.

F. G. J.

Read “Elpis Israel”, by Dr. Thomas.
