Excerpt from Zionism in the Bible The same idea is expressed rather differently by the somewhat earlier prophet to whom we owe that unique prophecy, Isa. Xxiv.-xxvii. In xxvi. 1349, there is a strong contrast between the utter and hopeless destruction of Israel's enemies and the sudden increase of their own people. Then follows a description of the half-desperate yearnings of the people which should precede the fulfilment of this promise. They are compared to the agonising, but for a long time fruitless, birth throes of a travailing woman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
