In the same vein, the late nineteenth-century Anglican minister, Rev. Robert Douglas, remarked, “If the clergy accepted the Anglo-Israel theory, it would necessitate the relegation of nine-tenths of their old sermons and commentaries to the wastepaper basket.” Few would be willing to do that!

It is hard for us to understand what is happening, but Jesus said to stay close to Him and he will guide us through all that will take place. We must be willing to surrender ourselves to Him and to trust that He knows what is best for us. Sometimes it feels like we are drowning in the storm, but His Hand is always there to hold on to and we know that we can trust Him to keep us safe.

He even worked by the power of God. He announced plagues of frogs, lice, flies, animal disease, water turned to blood, boils on the skin, hail, locusts, and thick darkness. None of those events were of any use in delivering the Israelites. Finally, they trusted in the blood of the lamb, symbolic of the blood of Christ.
