fore the racial type known today 
as Jews came into existence. 
It is true that Christ's worship 
was Jewish, and much of His earth- 
ly life was spent within the bor- 
ders of Palestine. ‘He came to his 
own and his own received him 
not,” that is, those of His own 
faith and the representatives of 
_ His kingdom which had been or- 
ganized at Sinai. These were the 
_representative heads of the Jewish 
- people who had returned from 
the Babylonian captivity as repre- 
_ sentatives of the tribe of Judah in 
fulfillment of the Scriptures. When 
He presented Himself to them as 
King of His kingdom they rejected 
Him and said, “We will not have 
- this-man to rule over us.’ 
Then it was that Jesus declared 
them and given to a nation bring- 
ing forth the fruit thereof.’’ At this 
time the kingdom was taken from 
the Jews and given to the people 
of ten-tribed Israel. The Jews have 
never been a nation from that time. 
_ They have continued as a people 
but not as a nation. The present 
_ Israeli government in Palestine is 
not the prophesied return of the 
Jews as a nation to the holy land. 
Their government is not a govern- 
“ment of peace but of strife and 
bloodshed. : 
The promise of restoration to 
Palestine is not to the Jew as a 
Jew or nation but to Israel. ‘“And | 
will bring again the captivity of 
my people of ISRAEL, (as sepa- 
rate and distinct from Judah, or the 
Jews, only as the Jews have be- 
come blended in with the people 
of Israel) and they shall build the 
waste cities, and inhabit them; . . . 
And I will plant them upon their 
land, ... which I have given them.” 
(Amos 9:14, 15.) 
Please bear in mind that the 
_ Word of God is very specific and 
plain when it speaks to either Ju- 
dah or Israel. The messages to 
these two separate peoples is never

God. It is in the minds of the peo- 
pie that they have become con- 
rused. lhe destiny of each ot 
these people stands torth in mark- 
ed contrast ail through the Word. 
Whenever a student ot the Word 
contuses these terms by calling the 
Jews Israel or assigning the bless- 
ings promised to Israel to the Jews, 
they err and only add to this con- 
tusion, thus obscuring the true 
meaning and message of the Word 
ot God. fa 
lhe fig tree is recognized by 
most Bible students as an emblem 
ot Jewry. Christ used it as a sign 
of the nearness of the end of the 
age, © When ye see the fig tree be- 
gin to bud.’ lhe budding of the 
tree has been fulfilled ‘in the ex- 
pressed desire of the Jews for a 
‘this has already 
taken place before our eyes. But 
in Mark 11:12 to 14 when He pre- 
sented the parable in action in curs- 
ing the fig tree He said, ‘No man 
eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.’ 
This together with His statement 
to the Jews that ‘‘the kingdom is 
taken from you and given to an- 
other’ clearly indicates that the 
Jews, as a nation of the Jews, will 
never become a nation again in the 
possession of the Holy Land. 
As time goes on, it is now be- 
coming apparent to the world that 
the nation in Palestine now known 
as Israeli, is not the Israel spoken 
of in God’s Word as inheriting the 
Holy Land, but is a puppet state 
of Russia. Israel will not come 
into possession of this land till she 
has been cleansed and restored by 
the Lord Jesus Christ when He 
comes to take over the reins of the 
government of this earth.
