DICTATORS’ DESTINY

THEIR PART IN PROPHECY BRITISH-ISRAEL ADDRESS An address on “The Destiny of the Dictators,” was given by the Rev. S. Robertson Orr, of the Presbyterian Church, Vancouver, under the auspices of the Auckland branch of the British-Israel World Federation in the State Theatre, Hamilton, last J night. There,was a good attendance. Mr Orr gave as an illustration of the Israel Message the declaration of the Prime Minister, Mr Winston Churchill, in his broadcast that “our affairs had prospered.” There was an Israel promise that “no weapon forged against thee will prosper,” and Italian official opinion had given the reasons of their adversity and Britain’s prosperity in the Mediterranean. A recent despatch said: “We Italians are not cowards. God is against us,” and the various “acts of God” were cited. The chief ones were that Graziani had planned to be in Egypt before the November sandstorms began; but they came in September and gummed up his motorised units, so that they could not move for sand. The next was that the snow came a month early on the Olympus mountains and bogged down Mussolini’s crack regiments. Another “act of God” was when the signal went up in Taranto that the British Navy was approaching and the Italian fleet was ordered out to the attack. As* it steamed out, headed by the Conte de Cavour, the second British bomb to be dropped hit the battleship in the bow, caused her to nose dive near the mole of the harbour, and bottled up the Italian PTeet. Not one bomb in 200,000 would score such a hit. Scriptural Foundation The Israel message, Mr Orr said, was the Scriptural foundation of every true Britisher’s conviction that Britain and the Anglo-Saxon peoples would be preserved and victorious. He asked his hearers not to accept the many reports of friction between Germany and Russia. These were merely a front to mislead the world, as it was misled before Munich, when Hitler declared that he would not sit at Munich if Stalin were invited. Yet at that time these two gangsters were arranging to carve up Poland and Finland.

The speaker stated that there were dark days still ahead. "A cataract of disaster is ye? to fall on the Empire, but remember in that day of daikness God has the matter in hand. The battle is the Lord’s,” stated Mr Orr. *‘What is to happen is going to affect every man and institution everywhere. The work assigned to these unclean spirits is not yet completed.” Before the end comes, said the speaker, the nations of the world would be grouped according to God's plan. First, there was what is called the Tarshish group, comprising Britain, the Dominions, India and the United States, and all the Israel kith and kin. Next there was the Ploman Confedeiation embracing all of the countries around the Mediterranean south of the Rivers Rhine and Dneister, Spain, France, Bulgaria,

Austria. Yugoslavia. Rumania, Greece and Italy, which showed that there were great changes to come and that the Rome-Berlin Axis was to break. Thirdly, there was the Gog, or North Federation, comprising mainly Russia, Germany aud Turkey.
