¹ The Restoration of the Jews:... By David Brown, D.D., ... Edinburgh.... London. 1861 (_p._ 60). “What most surprises us is, that a ritual of worship, so like the Mosaic ceremonial, should again be restored by divine appointment,... For we read of all the various offerings of the Levitical economy;... We can only reply:――Such is the divine pleasure.”¹ But this one Divine is not the only precursor of _Rabbi_ Hirsch Kalischer in this idea; there were others who believed in it. The Rev. Capel Molyneux (1804‒1877) announced the restoration of the Mosaic sacrifices, and explained its necessity from a Christian point of view.² The most curious and interesting opinion is that of a Swiss Protestant divine, Carl August Auberlen (1824‒1864) of Basle:――“_Israel_ is again to be at the head of all humanity.... In the Old Testament the whole Jewish national life was religious; but only in an external legal manner ... in the millennial kingdom, all spheres of life will be truly Christianized outwardly from within. From this point of view it will not be offensive to say that the Mosaic ceremonial law corresponds to the priestly office of _Israel_――the civil law to its kingly office. The Gentile Church could only adopt the moral law; in like manner her sole influence is by the word working inwardly, by exercising the prophetic office. But when the royal and priestly office shall be revived, then ... the ceremonial and civil law of _Moses_ also will develop its spiritual depths in the Divine worship and in the constitution of the millennial kingdom,” _etc._³ In a word, the Jews have to be restored, and to live according to their Law, which, as the learned professor believes, will “develop spiritual depths,” an idea which the most orthodox Jew would accept, and which is even more conservative than that of some of the _Talmudists_, who maintain that the ritual prescriptions _Mizvoth_ will be abolished in the Messianic age. ¹ The Second Advent;...
