Rabinowitz had gone to Palestine for the sole purpose of opening the country for a new immigration, not only of Jews from Bessarabia, but from every land. He saw in the occupation of the country, by his fellow-believers, a magnificent future for them. But through some strange providence, which no one seems yet to understand, he saw a larger future—the Jews of all lands coming to the cross of Christ. He went back to Bessarabia, and soon astounded his companions in doctrine by his bold and impassioned declarations of the divine character of Jesus. With the genius of the real leader, he adopted a watchword, which has now become broadly known as the rallying cry of all Jews who share his doctrine: “The key of the Holy Land lies in the hand of our brother Jesus.” There is no want of clearness in the creed of this new and striking departure in Judaism. It is an adoption of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity; at the same time, however, those who entertain these doctrines do not propose to withdraw from Judaism completely, but to retain some of the minor features of the old system, and to refrain from joining any Christian denomination. They call themselves “The National Jewish Society of the New Testament.” In their articles of faith, as communicated by Pastor Faltin, of Kischinev, to Dr. Delitzsch, they hold the following general views: There is one living and true God, creator of all things. He made a covenant with Israel, his people, that he would raise from their midst a prophet, who should have the spirit of the Lord, and himself be the Lord, who would plant righteousness throughout the earth. This prophet is the promised Messiah, who taught the people the truth, and bore their sins, and died for the whole world. He was born about seventy years before the destruction of the second temple, and died at the hands of his enemies. He will rule the house of David, and exalt the horn of his people for ever more. The Jews of his time were stricken with blindness. The light was before them, but because of their hardness of heart they were punished with helplessness. Hence they killed their Lord. It is now time to open their eyes, and see him whom their fathers slew. He alone is Redeemer. He alone can build up the Jewish people. From all lands they should hasten to Palestine, and accept Christ immediately, and expect nothing less than that he will restore Jerusalem to its former glory, and build there once more the throne of David.
