Disraeli

[Terrance]

Perhaps too in this enlightened age, as his mind expands and
he takes a comprehensive view of this period of progress,
the pupil of Moses may ask himself, whether all the princes
of the house of David have done so much for the Jews as that
prince who was crucified on Calvary? Had it not been for
Him, the Jews would have been
comparatively unknown, or known only as a high oriental
caste! which had lost its country. Has not He made their
history the most famous in the world? Has not He hung up
their laws in every temple? Has not He vindicated all their
wrongs? Has not He avenged the victory of Titus and
conquered the Caesars? What successes did they
anticipate from their Messiah? The wildest dreams of their
rabbis have been far exceeded. Has not Jesus conquered
Europe and changed its name into Christendom? All countries
that refuse the cross wither while the whole of the New
World is devoted to the Semitic principle and its most
glorious offspring the Jewish faith, and
the time will come when the vast communities and countless
myriads of America and Australia, looking upon Europe as
Europe now looks upon Greece and wondering how so small a
space could have achieved such great deeds, will still find
music in the songs of Sion and solace in the parables of
Galilee.
 
These may be dreams, but there is one fact which none can
contest. Christians may continue to persecute Jews and Jews
still persist in disbelieving Christians, but who can deny
that Jesus of Nazareth, the Incarnate Son of the Most High
God, is the eternal glory of the Jewish race?
