Excerpt from The Restoration of the Jews: The History, Principles, and Bearings of the Question It is not impossible that the calamitous events which are directing all eyes at present to Syria, and the consequences of them, may by and by impart to this subject a new interest. But the wise will not be over-hasty in interpreting specific predictions by passing events, but, while standing on their watch tower, will entrench themselves in great general principles. We have also a more sure word of prophecy, whereunto we do well that we take heed, as unto a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in our hearts.
