At
the request of a Jewish friend, the Master spoke to some Jews who had come,
saying:
“The day and age promised by the divine
Prophets has appeared. This is the day in which Zion dances with joy. The day
has come in which Carmel is revived and is rejoicing. That day has come for you
to return to Palestine and see how it is flourishing.”
