Note 102 — JERUSALEM.

It would be simply impossible in a brief note even to enumerate all the recent amazing changes in Jerusalem and the Holy Land. Since the fulfilment of a prophetic epoch a few years ago, pointed out at the time by the writer as an indication that the “Times of the Gentiles” had virtually ceased, Jerusalem has for the first time in her history been “inhabited as towns without walls” (Zechariah ii. 4), the dwellings having spread outside in rapidly increasing suburbs, which make it more like a modern city than the Jerusalem of old.
