 Now reader, if you restore the Jews to Ca.
 pssn, and re-established Judeaism does it not x follow, that christianity will be made void? So # teach the apostles n many places. If you say they must return to Canaan, because God gave # it to them as an everlasting possession. Then & by the same Hebrew word (oiam) you must ad- init the Aaronic Priesthood is everlasting, cir cumcisien is everlasting, and still oo' se, the laws given to the Jews were also to be (oiam) ever q lasting or forever--See Ex. 27. 2l, 20, 43, 30, 2l Lev 8. 17, 6, 23. And this will lead to z the overthrow of christianity, and re- e-organiza- q tion of Judeaism. To teach future restora- ton of Jews to Canaan without making void christianity, and the establishment of the types and shadows for the substances is novel \ theory for the proof of which there is not a # single text in the Bible. The texts relied upon, prove the full organization of Judeaism, and not merely to return to Canaan.
 Prop ". The terts .of scripture and arqu- aaeats relied upon to proUe tut Lsrael after tie fesh is still the people of God, and will return to Canaan, do not sustain the position.
 We now shall examine the strongest proof texts, of those who contend for future resto- ration of all literal Israel, to the earthly Ca- man. We believe the notion, to be based up- on misapplication and therefore perversion of $ scripture, subversive of the gospel of Christ, # and injurious to the spiritual interests of the Jews With these honest convictions, we shall call in question, the views of others, but allow, & at the same time, that they are equally honest. Frey says: "They (the Jews) will return as nation in an unconverted state, rebuild Jeru- salem and the temple and establish Judeaism < for a season.' Jos. Ben Vol 2, D. 262- This position, we believe to be subversive of hrist!anitv, for if Judeaism, is again re estab- lished, christianity will be nulifed. He quotes Lev. 26, 32, 33, 42-45 to prove his position. We will place before the reader more than MT. F. does, to give a better ideaof the context. but we hope he will read from verse l4 of 26 chap ter till 45 verse. Moses commences by telling them, if they will not hearken unto Gods commands, he (God) will send, "terror, con- sumption, burning ague, break their power, send wlld beasts among thcm, bring sword upon them, pestilence, famine and ye shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daugh- ters" Then follows what MT. F. quotes- Z I" And will bring your land into desolation, and your enemies that DWELL THEREIN shall be as- touished at 1t, and l will scatter you among the heather, and l will draw out sword after you, and your land shall be desoate and your cities waste." his Mr. F. applies to the desolatlon of the land, e'c by the Romans. "Then will remember my covenant, with Jacob, and al so my covenant with Isaac, and also my cove nant with Abraham, will 1 remember, and I will remember the land" This Mr. F. sup. poses to allude to a future restoration of the Jews. Mr. Begg relies much upon another, and similar prediction to prove the same theory He says: Before Israel was admitted into the promised land Moses gave them a prophetic narrative of the captivity of themselves and king etc, Deut. 28 29. Then he quotes, land it shall come to pasS when ALL THESE THINGS are come upon thee the Lord thy God will have compassion upon thee and will return, and gather thee from all the nations whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee" Deut 30, I-5
 Now MT. B. applies the 2S, and 29 chap. to the Baby lonian captivity, but the restoration, he thinks, is yet to come. See Begg on Prop. p. 49. He says, "they together with their king were to be carried only into a nation, whilst the restoration promised in the conclu- sion of the prediction, must refer, to their sub seluent dispersion which is afterwards predict ed, it is restoration from ALL THE NATIONS" :" 2 Now all this, to the careless reader may ap- pear very forcible, but any one who will exa- mine all the facts, in the case, will find it amounts to nothing. We hope the reader will examine carefully Deut. 2S, 29, 30, 1-5 and he will find that it is one unbroken chain of prediction about one captivity and that the Babyloniap, Gas Mir. B. admits,) and that must be the restoration. We will refer to all the leading points, in these two predictions, so much relied upon by the advocates of future restoration. All will admit we presume, that they allude to the same events, and we agree that literal Israel is alluded to; but we contend that the predictions were fulfilled, when the Jews returned from Babylon. What are the important points?
 1. After alluding to various curses for sins, it is said, "and shall be REMOVED INTO ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH" Deut 28, 2o.- Now Mr. B. admits, that all that is contained m the 28, and 29 chapters, alludeS to the Ba- bylonlan captivity, because, in verse 36 1t is l4sald, that the king was to go into captivity, and # they had no king at the destruction of Jerusa- lem by the Romans. This is an unfortunate Admission, for the theory of future restora- AtOn, but favorable to the truth. But why do kthev apply the restoration in Both chap. to one syet to come? One reason they assign, Is, 1t 4was to be from ALL nations whilst the captivity *was to "a nation" Now the reader will per Fcelve at once, that as they were to be "remov- Fed into all the kingdoms of the earth, resto- ration, could certainly be from all natons.'- in fact all the kingdoms of the earth, and "a Snation" allude to the same. Daniel said to Nebuchadnezzar, IN " wheresoever the children pf men dwell the beasts of the field and the Bowls of heaven hath he (God) given into sthine hand, and made thee ruler over them Ball" Dan. 2, 38. Now we might give much proof to show, that the Babylonia"s, formed "A NATION" governed by one king, yet they swere all nations under heaven. Now a na- tion 1.-the Babylonan] alludes to ALL nations, and the dispersion was to be mong all nations sit follows that the restoration alludes to the same. It is said (Jer 21, 7,) "I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, into the hand of Ncbuchadnezzer king of Babylon And chapter 24 8, g iti said, ESQ will give Zedekan, his princes, and the residue Of Jeru' ssalem, and 1 will deliver them to be removed INTO ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH."- This is positive proof, that whilst they were faken captives, by ONE NATION, yet they were dispersed among all nations, and therefore, a 1estoration from Babylon, was from all na- tOns.
 2d. In this dreadful calamity, parents were to eat their own children. Deut. 28, 5.
 This, says Mr. Begg, must apply to the de- I
