yet to come. It will begin with the "lifting of the veil" from the eyes of Israel. When that is to begin we know not, and it is neither safe nor wise to venture any guess. But that it will come in due time is as sure as that all the other predictions of Old and New Testament have had their commencement and their close. It will be a great day, for, as the Apostle Paul says, "if the casting away of them [Israel] is the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?"
