THE JEW AND PALESTINE 1. There is ONE PEOPLE whom Jehovah calls His “ peculiar treasure unto Me above all people” (Exod. 19:5). 2. There is ONE LAND which is called “ holy” (Zech. 2:12),: and promised to Israel for an “ everlasting possess ion” (Gen. 17:8). 3. There is ONE CITY which is called -“ the beloved city” ! (literally, “ the dearly-beloved,)” and which Jehovah will “ make a praise in the .earth,” and that is Jerusa lem (Rev. 20:9; Isa. 62:7). 4. There is ONE MOUNTAIN which has been honoured in the land of Palestine, and that is the Mount of Olives, for Christ’s sacred feet last rested upon it, ere He ascended to heaven (Acts 1:12), and it is upon that mountain His holy feet will stand when He returns in manifest glory to the earth, and which mountain will be the object of great and momentous convulsions (Zech. 14:4).
