A few years ago the firm of Funk and Wagnalls published an edition of Dr. George Croley's work: "Tarry Thou Till I Come," and in the introduction Dr. Funk said: "It has been believed by many from the earliest ages of the Christian era that among the signs of Christ's coming would be the recognition of him by the Jews as one sent of the Father; and that they would then be restored to the Father's favor." Dr. Funk also collected a number of expressions from leading Jews, their belief in regard to the Savior, which were published in Dr. Croley's work. Some of them are as follows: Rabbi Henry Berkowits: "This Jew, Jesus, is the greatest, noblest rabbi of them all." Morris Jastrow: "From the historic point of view, Jesus is to be regarded as a direct successor of the Hebrew prophets. His teachings are synonymous with the highest spiritual aspirations of the human race." Jacob H. Schiff: "We Jews honor and revere Jesus of Nazareth as we do our own prophets who preceded him." The Savior said to his disciples in relation to the destruction of Jerusalem: "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled" (Luke 21:24). The indication that this time of restitution is at hand is seen in the results coming out of the capture of Palestine by General Allenby in December, 1917, during the Great War. Since that time the Holy Land has been under the control of the British nation, and Dr. Herbert Samuel, an orthodox Jew, has been sent there as governor of the land. This is the first time since before the fall of Jerusalem (70 A. D.), which was predicted by the Savior, that a ruler from the house of Judah has presided in that land. It is an event of great significance. Chapter 31 Joseph Smith Accused as Accessory to Assault on Boggs 1842 Perfidy of John C. Bennett
