That day I believe will the day of God’s power, when all Israel will be willing; and when prosperity will crown the efforts of the Jews to gather and rebuild Jerusalem And also believing that the time is at hand, when this character shall come forth, and as he is to stand for an ensign of the people, and to whom the Gentiles will seek; as I understand from Isaih Chap XI. 1st. to 5th. verse, and also the 10th verse; I feel constrained in my heart to be preparing for the same, that I may share in all the blessings promised to the saints.
