No one can evade the law of retribution. retribu-tion. In scripture Japan is identified with Ammon, descended from the illegitimate child of Lot by one of his daughters, and is linked with Asiastic Babylon as told in II Esdras, 15:46, in the Apocrypha, which brings down the sternest denunciation with a promise of the most severe retribution on this cruel and wicked nation. The atrocities we have heard about are but a drop in the bucket to what she has done to prisoners and civilians. And thus has she sinned all through her history. By common consent, says one writer, her jnili-tarists jnili-tarists are a horde of treacherous and yellow thugs. The Lord has said about Japan, II Esdras 15:56 (RV) "Like as thou shalt do unto my chosen so God shall do unto .thee." And in the same chapter, verses 49-63, is portrayed the terrible end that awaits that nation, which is virtual annihilation, his annihilation will come by allied mass air attacks which will "devour thee and thy cities; all thy woods and fruitful trees shall they burn with fire . . . and they shall spoil thy wealth and mar the glory of thy face."

Says the Lord, "I will send evils upon thee; famine, sword, pestilence, pesti-lence, to waste thy houses unto destruction and death. And the glory of thy power shall be dried up as a flower, when the heat shall arise that is sent over thee." (Verses 49-50) . Again in Esdras 20, He says: "The beginning of famine and great death, when many of them shall perish of famine; and the others that escape the hunger shall the sword destroy." And Zephaniah says, "The children of Ammon (the Japanese) shall be as Gomorrah, a perpetual desolation." desola-tion." In biblical times they were as cruel as they are today. (I Samuel, 9:2. Amos 1:13.) Their last appearance in the bible shows that their characteristics are hatred of Israel and cunning cruelty. Yes, the end of Japan, for her multitude of sins, will be practically the same as was the end of Sodom and Gomorrah. Gomor-rah. She will go down her people, her empire, even her lands, and become a heap of rottenness, ' a place of desolation where only foul beasts will dwell. The wages of sin is death ! |
