Israel and the Church

The subject alone is of sufficient importance to awaken and fix the attention of all who are willing to learn what testimony the Holy Spirit has borne upon the strange problem of Jewish history and destiny. In answer to this question a vast majority of Christians, especially of those who have never examined the subject, will say that the Jews are to be converted one by one, and gradually absorbed in the church. Others think that the glowing promises, made to God's ancient people in the Old Testament, have been fulfilled to us spiritually, and hence they see nothing but the Church in the Psalms and Prophecies. Those who will attentively read the passages here cited from the inspired word, can not retain a doubt that it is the Father's purpose to exalt the name of His Son in His special dealings with the Jews. In addition to the tribute of praise He will receive from the Church in the heavenly places, He will gather another tribute of praise on earth in the coming and certain glory of Israel. - Introduction.
