Professor George Bush was not a prophet. Yet, if we quote the words of this distinguished 19th-century pioneer of Christian Zionism, we can only marvel at his foresight.
He said of the Jewish people: “The dispersed and downcast remnant shall, one after another, turn their faces to Zion … find their way to the land of their fathers. This will not only benefit the Jews, but all mankind, forming a link of communication between humanity and God.”
Bush asserted this vision long before the activities of the founder of the modern Zionist movement, Theodor Herzl, and before the rise of the Zionist movement among world Jewry.
