standpoint it seemed to me, and had always seemed, a mystery. All
mystery was cleared up now. The Restoration of God's favored people is
clearly foretold; but orthodoxy had never thought of locating the event
in the next life. But it has ever been a great tax on men's ingenuity to
show how the event can occur in this life. For we cannot ignore facts,
and facts are all against such a conception.

Even if in future generations the Jews who are then living are all
turned to God, as we believe they will, what about the millions and
millions who have died? The enigma receives a glorious solution when we
realize that the future life is to be the time of the Restoration. Oh,
yes; the prophecy will be fulfilled; God's ancient people will be
restored. Divine power and grace are not limited to this short epoch of
time; they are from everlasting to everlasting. Surely, here is a theme
for heaven's eternal songs!
