Jewish Hopes And Prospects ​Chapter 2: Israel’s New Covenant

"The Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? … Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years" (Mal. 3:1-5).

SIX thousand years ago in Eden our Maker, in justly sentencing His disobedient children to death, intimated that ultimately the Seed of the woman would bruise the Serpent's head (Gen. 3:15). This hidden prophecy was the first intimation of the Divine mercy which our gracious Creator had purposed in Himself from before the foundation of the world.
