Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Then as the hour should draw nigh for the restoration to the land He would cause the Jews as the national representatives of all Israel to bud, to blossom and fill the face of the whole world with fruit. They should be the first to be restored to the land. They would go back in unbelief. And mark how the prophecies have been fulfilled!
