About the Book

THE UNLIKELY INSTRUMENTS OF GOD Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's hand.--Jer. li. 7. If there was one city in the world that seemed to be independent, it was that city of Babylon.

This view of life fills all the Scripture, and if I thought we really knew the Scripture, it would be enough to indicate it and pass on. But are we truly studying the Word of God?
