Last week the world reached the pyramid's blank wall without thunderclaps or writings in the sky. But the British Israelites were unshaken. It was suggested that the great change might have happened imperceptibly, might not become apparent for years. In London, the U.S.-born secretary of the British Israel World Federation, owlish, amiable Harold Stough (rhymes with how), offered, in addition to the pyramid prophecies, more far-reaching proofs from the Bible. Says Stough: "God made covenants with Abraham that 'I will make of thee a great nation ... In thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.' " The inheritors of these covenants today, thinks Stough, are not the Jews; "we believe Britain and America represent Israel in the modern world." They will bring "faith and the principles of righteousness to the world in preparation for the return of Christ."
* And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way . . . And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces: And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee, Kings 11: 29-31.
