came nearest and gave most in order
that it might puss on His goodness to
the other nations of the world, was
given a most strategic position in the
earth. "Palestine was adapted as no
other country for God’s great purpose
i of preparing a pure religion and send
ing it to all the world. To this end
;a single nation was selected, trained
and placed in the center of the world,
so that when the time came to publish
! the true religion all lands could be
i readied. Palestine was central and
[isolated, yet accessible, for when the
J time came for the apostles to go from
i Palestine by the Mediterranean sea to
! the lands round about it, and from
there to other lands, their way was
open.”
