a terrific sacrifice of health and life
by countless Jewish workers and
settlers. The work could have been
done by Arabs; the Jewish welfare
agencies would gladly have paid the
Arabs well but the Jewish workers
and settlers, with a determination
to carry out the prophecies centuries
old, sacrificed health and life to re-
claim these badly infested typhoid
swamps and to exterminate the most
dreaded germs known to mankind in
line with a prophecy thousands of
years old. Hence all the work, with
out any exception, are performed by
the Jews. These typhoid swamps
have given place to waving fields of
grain, sandy wastes, yes deserts, have
been and are being reclaimed through
the most modern and scientific meth
DDS known to scientists. These deS-
erts, rocky, desolate, billy and noun
famous parts have been converted
into the finest orange, grapefruit and
lemon groves in the world, produc-
ing the finest fruits of their kind,
without any exception and constitutes
the finest quality obtainable in the
entire world.
Mountain sides that seemed use
less from an agricultural point of
view are being terraced in much
more modern manner than that in
use in southern Italy and France.
Mountain sides that seem useless only
except perhaps as stone quarries are
now producing the worlds finest
grapes and wines though the wine
industry is still in its infancy. Waste,
desolation, deserts and stony noun
tain sides have been transformed
into veritable gardens of Eden.
Never before in the history of the
world has such sudden change from
waste and wilderness 'to land flow
ing with milk and honey" as proph-
esied in the Old Testament, taken
place.
Expensive Projects Undertaken
Extensive irrigation projects have
been built. Some of the worlds
greatest engineers have participated,
men who donated their skill because
of idealistic belief, German Jewish
refugee engineers, engineers from ev-
cry nook and corner of the earth have
had and are having a share in the
gigantic undertaking. The rivers
and the lakes have been exploited,
imposing projects have been COM
pleted; wells, with the aid of mod
ern machinery and scientific exploit
tation have been sunk. 1 actually
know of one instance where as much
as S175,000 was spent on one well
and the cost did not cover any engi-
neering cost and very little, if any,
of the labor costs. Practically all
of the money was used in the impor-
tation of machinery or in the build
ing of machinery which accomplished
nothing short of a miracle. The
Torah, as known to the Jew or to
you, the Old Testament, more than
$500 years ago prophesied regarding
the later-day return of the Jews for
the transformation of Palestine.
Isaiah drew vivid word picture
in chapter 81, verse 4: "And they
shall build the old wastes, they shall
raise up the former desolations, and
they shall repair the waste cities,
the desolations of many generations. +"
According to Scripture.
The Jews have indeed built up the
"old wastes" and raised the former
desolations" and restored the wasted
Cities" exactly and precisely as Isaiah
prophesied, surely the desolations of
many generation-the phrase, "the
desolations of many generations"
gives us precise description of near
ly 1000 years of desolation from the
time Titus laid Jerusalem in ruins,
sacked the city and plundered any
thing and everything, including the
burning and plundering of the famous
Jews temple known as King Sol
onions Temple, in about 70 A. D.
until the end of the World war
Another great prophet prophesied
as follows:
1.-THE waste lands shall be builded
