"And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance" (Romans 11:26-29).

"O to see the sight, next to Christ's coming in the clouds, the most joyful! Our elder brethren the Jews and Christ fall upon one another; they will be kind to one another when they meet. O day! O longed for and lovely day-dawn! O sweet Jesus, let me see that sight which will be as life from the dead, thee and thy ancient people in mutual embraces" (Samuel Rutherford, Letters, 1635).

The Restoration of the Jews by David Brown echoes Samuel Rutherford's biblical sentiment throughout. It includes a short testimony by Dr. Reg Barrow describing his rejection of Dispensationalism as a young Christian and noting why he brought this book into print.

A 44 page preface (by Steve Schlissel) recounts the historic Reformed position concerning Israel (which was written before Schlissel himself rejected the historic Reformed view of worship and justification and began promoting the "Federal Vision" heresy) -- citing many quotations (like Rutherford's above) in exposing Hal Lindsey's outrageous inaccuracies and gross misrepresentations of the Reformation position (regarding the restoration of the Jews).

Finally, the bulk of the book consists of David Brown's classic work focusing on Romans 11, The Restoration of the Jews (1861). This is the same David Brown that had a hand in the Jamieson, Fausset and Brown (JFB) Commentary and whose "most enduring work... Christ's Second Coming: Will It Be Premillennial? ... remains the classic evangelical polemic against premillennialism" (Dictionary of Scottish Church History and Theology, p. 97).

In short, this book demonstrates that Scripture teaches (and the best Reformation theologians concur) that the future will be most glorious for the Jews -- when they, as a people, are drawn by God's irresistible grace to the Lord Jesus Christ.

120 pages.

This digital edition does not include either contemporary prefaces (by Barrow and Schlissel) or any of the contemporary appendices, and is therefore 120 pages long. Nevertheless, this digital download contains the most important part of the book, being David Brown's extensive exegesis of Romans 11 on the restoration of the Jews, which is was republished for, by SWRB, in the first place.
