His work on time and it is remarkable that He had this great movement pre- pared and on its feet, ready to lead His chosen ones at the right time, into their own land. The real beginning of the return of the Jews to the land of promise began in 1921. The Zionist movement had already decided to collect twenty-five mil- lion dollars for the purpose of reconstruction work in Palestine. The latest information states that they have already collected much more than this amount. The increase in imigration is progressing year by year. The Zion- ists expected to admit not less than sixty-tive thousand Jews during the year of 1929. Fifty years ago, there were only four thousand Jews in Palestine. Now out of a population of ninety thousand, sixty thousand are Jews. For the tirst time in three thousand years, the flag of Judah floats over the ocean. A regular Jewish shipping line has been arranged between New York and Haifa. How literally are God's words, UI will gather you out of all nations , being fulfilled. Already they have been gathered from sixty-four nations. According' to Jeremiah 30: 3 they are gathering' there to possess the land. At present they are not entirely freed from Gentile control. But how fast they are coming into their own! A Jewish University is already under construction on the Mount of Olives. Millions of dollars are being spent on Libraries, Public Schools and in Literary achievement. In 1920, there were in Palestine sixty Jewish colonies: in 1928, there were one hundred twenty. Many hospitals and clinics, including the Straus health center have been established. Roads are being built all over the country. Swamps are being drained. The valley of Jezreel has become a fruitful garden. Two fever swamps have become the site of flourishing colonies. Between the years of 1920 and 1928, over four and one-half mil- lions of trees were planted. Fruit production is on the increase. The early and latter rains, which for centuries had been withheld, began to fall when the Jews began to colonize so that in some parts of Palestine three crops per year have been raised. Isaiah 35 speaks of a time when the desert shall blossom as a rose. While this scripture cannot be completely fulfilled until the millenial age surely many things are now happening which are signs of its partial fulfillment. Old springs are being discovered and opened up, causing streams to break forth as from a desert. Work towards the rebuilding of the Temple is already begun and it is said that many parts of it are already prepared. Who can in the face of the above facts deny that Israel is coming into her own: that Jerusalem is now, instead of being trodden down, fast becoming the center of a revived Jewish Nation? When these things begin to come to pass saith the gospel by St. Luke, Look up and rejoice for your redemption draw- eth nigh . Redemption! Oh, glorious the thought! Satan and satanic power shall be put down by Him who shall come with power and in great glory to redeem all His creation. J ' ' Even so, come Lord Jesus! -1106-
