CHAPTER XV.
Israel Is to Be Restored.
But, perhaps, you say: "I don't believe the Israelites are
to be restored to Canaan, and Jerusalem rebuilt."
Dear reader! have you read the declarations of God's
word about it? Surely nothing is more plainly stated in
the Scriptures. We would that we had space to quote the
passages, but we can only give you a portion of the refer-
ences. We beg of you to read them thoughtfully. Divest
yourself of prejudice and preconceived notions, and let
the Holy Spirit show you, from His word, the glorious
future of God's chosen people, "who are beloved" (Rom.
11:28), and dear unto Him as "the apple of His eye."
