Print on Demand. This book from the early 20th century examines the clash between various religious and secular powers in the Far East through the lens of the Bible. It brings to light the increasing tensions between Japan, Russia, and China as Japan attempts to exert its military might over China. The author also explores the threat of fascism and socialist nations working in unison and acknowledges the vulnerability of Western cities to attack. Against this backdrop, the author reflects on the importance of faith and the need to seek refuge in the eternal power of God. This book provides a glimpse into the political and religious upheaval of the early 20th century and offers timeless insights on the nature of faith and humanity's search for security. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …

As one's eye follows the tortuous stream called history, he sees that the world of men apparently has always been breaking up. Strong men have gone to pieces. Homes have been wrecked. Great cities have fallen, whole empires have cracked and broken. The world Of men seemingly has always been going to pieces - and yet strangely enough, something, some one, has always been holding it together.
That is one reason why the Bible will always be up to date. It was produced by people whose world was breaking up. They were forced by sheer necessity to cry who is sufficient for these things?
Here and there along the course of history at moments of unusual crisis, some man, clearer-eyed than others, has seen through the welter and confusion of his day and has told us what he has seen. The prophet Jeremiah of Anathoth saw through the topsy-turvy events of his day and declared - A glorious throne set on high from the beginning is the place Of our sanctuary.
At a time when the nations and nature were apparently doing their best to shake his world to pieces, the Prophet lifted his eyes - A glorious throne set on high from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
What is a sanctuary? The term sanctuary has a double meaning, coming (1) from the Latin Sanctus which means Holy place-place of worship. But that is not the meaning here. Jeremiah does not say that this throne is merely a place of worship. (2) Sanctuary also means place of refuge, protection, security. For instance we have bird sanctuaries and animal Sanctuaries, within whose precincts neither bird nor beast may be molested and they come and go as they please.
In Egypt primitive temples of one room have been discovered, pass ing into which a man was protected from his enemies. Among the He brews, the horns of the altar in the tabernacle were a place Of sanctuary. Whoever took hold Of those horns claimed safety and his claims were recognized.
SO then sanctuary is refuge, protection, security. Our text declares not that the sanctuary of God is a throne, but that in this troubled world, the glorious throne of God is a sanctuary. Jeremiah certainly did not mean that somewhere in the universe there is a material throne which may be touched, seen, handled, that is a sanctuary. What he did mean is what Oliver Wendell Holmes declares in the hymn we love to sing: Lord of all life enthrone above Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love, Before whose ever blazing throne We ask no lustre Of our Own.
