a blessing unto them from the hand of God; and their scales of
darkness shall begin to fall from their eyes; and many generations
shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a white and
delightsome people.
"7. And it shall come to pass that the Jews which are scattered,
also shall begin to believe in Christ; and they shall begin to

Israel in the earth.[A]
[Footnote A: These prophecies and their fulfillment are considered at

treatise will also be found in the writer's "New Witness for God," Vol.
II, now soon to go to press.]
