TURKEY' 1 Continued.) ( 33.) P ALES T I N E : 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 i as yet fulfilled; and if not. accom-, , „ „ . ,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 GEORGIA R L Lewis W T Cockrell M illen Molenn 02.08 68.90 Will .lames Adrian $111.78 (iallownv Bros Monroe 21.48 r.

Then that restriction was removed, but they ‘were still con- of prophecy and the Jewish out look?” We do. While Israel was j a R thy heart, and with all thy soul that thou mayest live. And Jc 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. hovah thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, that persecut ed thee.

And men shall dwell therein, and there shall be no more curse, (literally, ban, or devoting to destruction) but Jerusalem shail dwell safely.” Especially 10:6-12. “I will strengthen the house of Ju dah, and I will save the house ot Joseph, and.I,.will,tyjngthem tyck for I have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Jehovah their God and I will hear them.
