“This Long Time Have We Nourished This Tree”
The Lord’s patience with the house of Israel, his tender regard, his eagerness to gather her unto the true fold- all these things witness that God simply will not let Israel go. Countless prophets have taught and testified of the importance of Israel’s being loyal to the royal within her. Miracles and signs and wonders have evidenced Jehovah’s love and support for his peculiar people. The cry of martyrs and the blood of testators have ascended again and again to the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth in behalf of Abraham’s descendants. So much effort. So much labor. So many tears.
