Land and the People.
What does God say ot the re-
1 turn of the Jews (the future restor
ation of the literal Israel) into
1 ownership of the land uncondition-
’ally given them by covenant for an
everlasting possession? Has what
The He promised relative thereto been

,1.1 accomplished. 31:8-14. “Behold,
plished, how can we escape the * 1 ,
them and not pull them down;and
i wtli plant them, and not pluck
them up. Ami l will give them a
heart to know Me, that l am Je
hovah; and they shall be My peo
ple. and I will be their God; for
they shall return unto me with
their whole heart.’’ Not yet fully
But what of the Jewish Restora
tion to the land of their fathers?
"What do you regard as the
strongest reason for the return of
the .lews to the Holy Land?” was
a question recently put to an emi
nent minister, a student of proph
ecy and author ot several able
works, to which he made reply:
"The typical teachings of the Word
demand it. If Israel does not get
back into the land as the type of
the Kingdom of God, then we are
shut out of heaven.” And yet
with all this as true, he devotes but
a few lines in his “Handbook on
Prophecy” to the Restoration of
the Jewish people to the land of
Israel, and that only in passing (!)
,—which he explained to his inquir
er as “a big enough subject for
separate treatment.” We submit
the query, ‘‘Is that fair to the
Word or to the Jew?’’
“Do you really believe the Jews
will go back to their own land?’’
was the question put to me lately
by a well-informed and energetic
Christian minister on my alluding
to the subject. “Most assuredly I
do,” was my reply, “don’t you know
they will?” To Christian ministers
and workers and members at large,
and in particular, I put the ques
tion here and now: “Do you be-,
lieve that God means what He
says? Do you believe that what
He there says relative to the sal
vation and the restoration of the
Jews He will fulfil) without fail?
Do you not think an extreme spir-
ituaijxltife.bf ch^ Scriptures’ mean
ing, (e, g., making Israel and Zion
to mean the church, and the land
to signify heaven) is equally as
pernicious as an extreme literaliz-
ing interpretation, and is there not
often such an over-spiritualization
of‘passages as to lose sight of the
really literal sense thereof, and
has not such too generally been
the case when it comes to a study
must needs be fulfil led” in days
to come. Take several passages
(besides Isa. 62:4 and Hos. 1:10 11,
already cited) for witness: In Gen.
17:7 8, 19, the Lord God pledged
Abraham, “the Father of the
Faithful,” the progenitor of Israel.
“I will establish M.v covenant be
tween Me and thee, and r.hv seed
after thee throughput their gener
ations for an everlasting covenant,
to be a God unto thee and to thy
seed after thee. And , I will give
unto thee and to thy seed after
thee the land of thy sojournings,
all th.e land of Canaan, for an ever
lasting possession; and I will be
their 1 God.’’--(A reemphasis of, 13:
14—17 cf. Acts 7:3, 5 ) Not yet
fulfilled. In Deut. 30:1-10 we
have, as a part of the covenant
which Jehovah commanded Moses
to make with the children of Isra
el, the words: “It shall come to
pass, when all these things are
come upon thee, the blessing and
the curse, which I have set before
thee, and thou shall call them to
mind among all the nations, whith
er Jehovah thy God hath driven
thee, and shalt return unto Jeho
vah thy God, and shalt obey his
voice according to all that I com
mand thee this day, thou and thy
children, with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul; that then Jeho
vah. thy God will turn thy captiv
ity, and h*ve compassion upon
thee, and will return and gather
thee from all the peoples, whither
Jehovah thy God hath scattered
thee. If any , of tl\ine outcasts
li$ in. the uttermost parts of
heaven, from thence will Jehovaj)
thy God gather thee, and from
thence will He fetch thee; and Je
hovah thy God will bring thee into
the land which thy fathers pos
sessed, and thou shalt possess it;
and He will do thee good and mul
tiply thee above thy fathers. And
Jelfovah thy God will circumcise
thy heart, and the heart of thy
seed to love Jehovah thy God with
[ will bring them from the north
country, and gather them from the
uttermost parts ol the earth, and
with them the blind and the lame,
the woman with child and her that
travaileth with child together; a
great company shall they return
thither. They shall come with
weeping; and with supplications
will 1 lead them; I will cause them
to walk by rivers of waters, in a
straight way wherein they shall
not stumble; for I am a father to
Israel, and Ephraim is my first
born. Hear the word of Jehovah,
O ye nations, and declare it in the
isles afar off; and ,say, He that
scattered Israel will gather him and
keep him, as a shepherd doth his
flock.” ‘ To be accomplished; vs.
38-40 is even now in process of ful
fillment. Also Ezek., chapters 11,
34, 36, 37; especially 37:21, 22-25
“Thus saith the Lord Jehovah:
Behold, I will take the children of
Israel from among the nations,
whither they are gone, and will
gather them on every side and
bring them mto their own land:
aad I will make them one nation in
the land, upon the mountains of
Israel; and one king shall be king
to them all; and they shall be no
Israel themselves. ‘In all parts ot
the earth this extraordinary peo
ple, whose name and sufferings
are in every nation under heaven,
think and feel as one man on the
great issue of their restoration-
the utmost east anil the utmost
west, the north and the south, both
small and large congregations,
those who have frequent inter
course with their brethren, and j
thp,se who have none, entertain I
alike the same hopes and fears.’ j
* * * This belief and the de
sire connected, wjjfj), it, have not j
only continued;to subsist, but have
rather increased in strength, 1 as we
are assured by the report of many
witnesses; and now, at the lapse of
eighteen centuries since the time
of their expulsion from the land of
promise, the conviction is almost
universal among the families of Is
rael, not only ol the undoubted cer
tainty, but of the near approach of
their final return, and prayer is
constantly made in their syna
gogues tnftt the Lord would be
pleased to hasten jt.”—(Rev.
Patrick Fairbairn.)
In 70 A. D., Jerusalem was de
stroyed by Titus the Roman at the
cost of about a million Jewish
lives. About fifty years after
wards Hadrian rebuilt It as a
heathen center, with temple to
Jupiter and statue of Hadrian on
the sacred area, and named it Aelia
Capitolina. Not untjl the tWiaof
Constantine were the Jews permit
ted even to enter the city again,
and then were allowed to go and
weep by the foundation of the
western wall of the temple area (a
custom continued till now.) “ ‘Up

to 1841 orily three hundred Jews
were permitted to live in Jerusa

removed, but they ‘were still con-

a peculiar typical people and God’s
relations to Israel in measure typi
cal of relations to His believing
people all over the world, and
while the dealings of God with in
dividual Jews and Gentiles are
over and the same with regard to
their salvation, yet “the habit of
allegorizing plain sayings of the
Word of God concerning the fu
ture history of the nation Israel,
and explaining away the fullness
ot their contents in order to ac
commodate them to the Gentile
church” is “unwarranted by any
thing in Scriptures, and to draw
after it a long train ot eyil conse
quences.”—(J. C. Ryle, D. D )
And we think furthermore it is
just this want of thorough search-
work and knowledge of the Word
of God that has kept the Christian
Church in many instances from ap
preciating her responsibility to the
Jews and pressing the claims of
Jesus the Messiah upon Israel.
There are others besides Jews ig
norant of God’s plain teachings.

to be done. Zeeh, 14:10. 11. “All
the land shall be made like the Ar-
abah, from Geba to Rimmon,
south ot Jerusalem; and she shall
be lifted up and shall dwell in her
place, from Benj^pijn’s gate unto
the place of the first gate, unto the
corner gate, and from the tower of
Hananeel unto the king’s wine
presses. And men shall dwell
therein, and there shall be no more

for I have redeemed them; and
they shall increase as they have in
creased. And I will sow them
among the peoples; and they shall
remember me m far countries; and
they shall live with their children,
and shall return.” Hear we God
speaking thus, and doubt we the
fulfillment? As He speaks so let
our confidence and expectation in
cline.
But people ask us, “Do you see
any signs of the Jewish Return?’
Let us show a few, as we have ob
