Excerpt from The Kingdom of Israel: From Its Inception Under Joshua, Its First President, in the Year of the World 2553, to the Second Advent of Christ The first of the two chapters of The Western Star of Empire was very hastily written thirteen years ago, and handed to a Copyist without revision, and it now appears as first penciled, and is not at all what it should have been from the abundant Bible material at hand. The sub iect has not had justice done it by us, and we Simply add here that all the Western movements are God-ward in the Empire of Israel, and hence have ever been exalting, or elevating and advancing to the nation, while all of her Eastern movements have been into captivity and degredation. All of her various captivities have been to the nations immediate to the East of her, and hence all of her various deliver auces and restorations have been in movements from the East to the West. This first chapter is purely historic. The second chapter, more recently written, is prophetic in its materials and comes down to a verification, in historic fulfillment, up to this hour, with the infant nation hid away in or under a despotism.
