Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon: Preached Before the Protestant Episcopal Association for the Promotion of Christianity Among the Jews, in St. Matthias´ Church, Philadelphia, on Sunday Evening, January 14, 1877 There is something intensely interesting in the past history and future destiny of the Jews. From whatever point viewed, they become to us a marvel and a study. If we look at them in their National character, they present the most remarkable ethnic phenomenon in the history of the world. For no people have ever been dispersed among other people, without losing their national traits and characteristics; but the Jews, though scattered throughout the habitable globe for eighteen hundred years, still preserve their ethnic identity and peculiarities, and though they mingle with every nation, blend with none. If we look at them as an Historical nation, they present greater points of interest than can be found in the annals of any other country. Their histories go back a thousand years beyond the birth day of the most renowned nations of antiquity, and, unlike the fables and myths which hang like clouds around the origin of the Athenians and of the Romans, are clear, true and God-inspired. If we look at them as a Prophetical nation, we see a nation about whom the first prophecy in Eden was uttered, and among whom existed a line of Seers, extending through a period of twelve hundred years, before whose visions were presented, and by whose pens were written, the future destinies of the world.
