« We spoke for awhile along the lines of the Message of the Angel at Bethlehem, telling of “the good tidings of great joy which shall be unto all people.” We reverted to the fact that all people of all religious beliefs are looking for and hoping for the coming of the Great Deliverer, and that the great deliverance and the desire of all nations is near at hand. Then we spoke more particularly to the Jews, using as our text the “Double” mentioned by the Prophets Jeremiah, Zechariah and Isaiah, explaining how the double of Israel’s experiences would reach full accomplishment in 1915 and that there divine favor for the Jews would be manifested and subsequently all the gracious promises made to them would have fulfillment. We showed that the promises which belong to the church are spiritual and separate and distinct from those made to Abraham, the prophets and Israel, but that the blessings of Israel are necessarily delayed until the promises made to spiritual Israel shall reach accomplishment, and that this would be fulfilled during the time of Israel’s second experience or double. » — Magazine : The watch tower and herald of Christ’s presence, June 1 1910, pages 182-183 [4623] § 1.
