# Palmer on the Conversion of the Jews

“Whoever then feels a lively sympathy with Christ in his present humiliation and prays to see Him Lord of the whole earth, must be ill instructed if he does not feel a corresponding anxiety for the salvation of the House of Israel. It is not improbable that God is now reserving this people for a distinguished service in the work of evangelizing the world. Their complete diffusion over the globe — their comparative isolation among men — the extraordinary enthusiasm and energy of their character, destined to be greater when it shall be toned by the truth — their very conversion to Christianity after so many ages of unbelief — all adapt them for extraordinary labor in the Missionary service. Perhaps the future history of the Church will reveal many a son of Abraham with Abraham’s faith, doing the work of Paul, ‘preaching the faith which once he destroyed.’ And the conversion of the Jews, accomplished in fulflment of a hundred predictions, will probably be the grand fact argument by which the truth of Christianity, in the latter days, will be attested.” — [**Benjamin M. Palmer**](/authors/benjamin-morgan-palmer), *The Intellectual and Moral Character of the Jews* (1847)
