British Jews. 5Some Christian Zionists believe that the gathering of the Jews in Israel is a prerequisite for the Second Coming of Jesus. The idea that Christians should actively support a Jewish return to the Land of Israel, along with the parallel idea that the Jews ought to be encouraged to become Christians as a means of fulfilling a Biblical prophecy, has been common in Protestant circles since the Reformation. History prior to the First Zionist ConferenceeditProtestant ReformationeditChristian advocacy of the restoration of the Jews in Palestine, was first heard following the Protestant reformation, particularly in the English speaking world among the Puritans. It was common practice among Puritans to anticipate and frequently pray for a Jewish return to their homeland. John Owen, a prominent 1. English Covenant theologian, for example, wrote Moreover, it is granted that there shall be a time and season, during the continuance of the kingdom of the Messiah in this world, wherein the generality of the nation of the Jews, all the world over, shall be called and effectually brought unto the knowledge of the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ with which mercy they shall also receive deliverance from their captivity, restoration unto their own land, with a blessed, flourishing, and happy condition therein. John Gill took a similar position. Samuel Rutherford, a seventeenth century Scottish theologian, expressed the ardent spirit of prayer of many of his contemporaries O to see the sight, next to Christs coming in the clouds the most joyful Our elder brethren the Jews and Christ fall upon each others necks and kiss each other They have long been assunder, they will be kind to one another when they meet. O day O longed for and lovely day dawn1. In 1. 76. 2, Charles Wesley wrote 1. O that the chosen band. Might now their brethren bring,And gatherd out of every land. Present to Sions King Of all the ancient race. Not one be left behind,But each impelld by secret grace. His way to Canaan find Christian support for Jewish restoration was brought to America by the Puritans who fled England. In colonial times, Increase Mather and John Cotton, among many others, favored Jewish restoration. Later Jonathan Edwards also anticipated a future return of Jews to their homeland. However it was not until the early 1. Ezra Stiles at Yale was a prominent supporter of Jewish restoration. In 1. 80. 8, Asa Mc. Farland, a Presbyterian, voiced the opinion of many that the fall of the Ottoman Empire was imminent and would bring about Jewish restoration. One David Austin of New Haven spent his fortune building docks and inns from which the Jews could embark to the Holy Land. In 1. 82. 5, Mordecai Manuel Noah, a Jew who wanted to found a national home for the Jews on Grand Island in New York as a way station on the way to the Holy Land, won widespread Christian backing for his project. Likewise, restorationist theology was among the inspirations for the first American missionary activity in the Middle East1. Holy Land. 1. 7Many Christians believed that the return of the Jews to Judea, as prophesied in the Bible, was a necessary preliminary step towards the Second Coming. In this particular interpretation, after the Jews returned they would both accept Jesus as their savior and rebuild the Temple, which would usher in the Second Coming of Christ. Restorationism, Dispensationalism and its DetractorseditMost early 1. British Restorationists, like Charles Simeon, were Postmillennial in eschatology. With the rise of James Frere, James Haldane Stewart and Edward Irving a major shift in the 1. Premillennialism occurred, with a similar focus on advocacy for the restoration of the Jews to Israel. As the demise of the Ottoman Empire appeared to be approaching, the advocacy of restorationism increased. At the same time, the visit of John Nelson Darby, the founder of a variant of Premillennialism called Dispensationalism to the United States catalyzed a new movement. This was expressed at the Niagara Bible Conference in 1. Lord Jesus will come in person to introduce the millennial age, when Israel shall be restored to their own land, and the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord and that this personal and premillennial advent is the blessed hope set before us in the Gospel for which we should be constantly looking. Luke 1. Acts 1. 5 1. Thess. 2 38 2 Tim. Titus 1 1. 11. 5The dispensationalist theology of John Nelson Darby which motivates one stream of American Christian Zionism is often claimed to be a significant awakener of American Christian Zionism. He first distinguished the hopes of the Jews and that of the church and gentiles in a series of 1. Geneva in 1. 84. 0. His lectures were immediately published in French LAttente Actuelle de lEglise, English 1. German and Dutch 1. Some dispensationalists, like Arno Gabelein, whilst philo semitic, opposed Zionism as a movement born in self confidence and unbelief. While Dispensationalism had considerable influence through the Scofield Bible, Christian lobbying for the restoration of the Jews preceded the publication of the Scofield Reference Bible first published by OUP, 1. Christian Zionists and Christian Zionist organizations such as the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem do not subscribe to dispensationalism. Many non dispensationalist Protestants were also strong advocates of a Jewish return to their homeland, C H Spurgeon,2. Horatius2. 2 and Andrew Bonar, Robert Murray MChyene,2. J C Ryle2. 4 were among a number of prominent proponents of both the importance and significance of a Jewish return to Israel. However Spurgeon averred of Dispensationalism, It is a mercy that these absurdities are revealed one at a time, in order that we may be able to endure their stupidity without dying of amazement. We look forward, then, for these two things. I am not going to theorize upon which of them will come first whether they shall be restored first, and converted afterwards or converted first and then restored. They are to be restored and they are to be converted, too. Charles Haddon Spurgeon The Restoration And Conversion Of The Jews. Ezekiel 3. 7. 1 1. June 1. 6th, 1. 86. Secular motivationseditThe crumbling of the Ottoman Empire threatened the British route to India via the Suez Canal as well as sundry French, German and American economic interests.
