For Inntance, the prophecy In lualah euppoaed to teach the nilraculnue birth of Jeaua was undoubtedly apoken of Heaeklah, nnd properly translated, there la nothing mlraculoua about It. "The Jewa hold that Jeeua preached nothing but Juriafm.

It was by a few Jealous priests and not by the nviss of the Jewish people, peo-ple, who admired und loved him. aa Is evident from his triumphal entry Into Jerusalem the day before. "So far aa the modern Jews are concerned con-cerned they regard Jeaua as one of the noblest spiritual terchera that ever appeared ap-peared In the world and that the Jewa have furnished the only shining exutn-ple exutn-ple of obedience. The so-called dlscl-plea dlscl-plea of Je9ua have persecuted the Jewa with savage ferocity for ages, and the Jews have borne theso persecutions with lamblike gentleness and silence." Dr. Htrsch then presented the belief of the Jews In the resurrection and the Immortality of the soul. He said It could not be denied that men had souls, and the bare existence of a soul proved Its Immortality after death. |
