would DcSln 10 count. That is TO
say, ii would mark the beginning Of
Gods favor being Withdrawn from
the Jewish people and the beginE-
ing of period of suffering equal to
the period Of their favor.
The prophet says, Rejoice greatly
o daughter of Zion; shout o daugh-
ter of Jerusalem. Behold thy king
cometh unto thee. He is just and
having salvation; lowly and riding
on an ass, and upon a colt, the foal
Of an ass" (Zaechariah 9:9) Matt
2l:1-9, records a fulfillment of this
prophecy when Jesus made His
triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Of
fering Himself as King. That great
event tranSpired in the spring of
the year, A. ID. 33. The favor to the
Jews began in 1912 b. c., and A. ID.
33 marked the end of the period of
l,S45 years, the time when Jesus Of
ficially Withdrew Gods favor from
the Jewish people, saying to them:
Behold your house is left unto you
dcsolate." Since this period of time
should be doubled, according to
this prophetic evidence, we must
add eighteen hundred and forty-five
years to A. ID. 33, which brings us
should be some evidence of Gods
70 4. ID. 1878, at which time there
should be some evidence of Gods
favor beginning to return to the
Jews, in order that this parallel
might be carried out. We find the
fulfillment in history in this.
While the favor was officially
Withdrawn from the Jews in the
spring Of A. ID. 33, il was not until
exactly forty years thereafter, A. d..
73, that Judea became depopullted
and the Jews ceased TO be a nation.
Accordingly in 1873 favor began TO
return TO the Jews and was marked
progressively by the advance Of Ii
onism and Jews returning TO Pales-
tine, until the end Of forty years, in
the spring of191S,when distinct
event happened, again fulfilling the
parrallellism. The allied armies un-
der General Allenby had wreSted
the the possession Of Palestine for
the purpose Of establishing in PaleS-
tine a separate and distinct nation
for the Jews.
Nathan Straus, a grand old man
of American Jewry, in "a speech de-
livered in New York City, during
the progress of the war, said:
1--WE are living in an age when we
are about to realize the two thouS-
and year old hope of the Jewish
people. | am especially glad that
we are Witnessing the spectacle Of
the whole world applauding and ap-
proving and supporting our great
purpose to re-establiSh the Jewish
people on their own soil"
Jesus used a parable as further
corroborative evidence Of the event
that shoul be transpiring at the end
of the world. On a previous occa-
sion He had likened the Jewish peo-
pie unto a fig tree. Now He says,
Learn a parable of the flg tree
when its brancpes are yet tender
and putteih forth leaves, you know
that the summer is nigh; so, like
wise, when We shall see all these
things, know that it is near, even at
the door, Verify, verify | say unto
YOU, this generation shall not pass
hin all these things be fulfilled"
In other words, when these e.
vents begin to take place, the peo-
pie or generation then on earth
would be permitted to see a com
pleie fulfillment of the prophetic
evidences set forth in this great
prophecy, proving conclusively the
ending of the old world and the
coming in Of the new. In further
