Excerpt from The Silent Hour
For some time before the birth of Jesus, the Christ, the atmosphere of the Hebrew world palpitated with the whispered intimations of coming momentous change. The Hebrew people stood on the tiptoe of expectation. The Messiah was about to come and set up his visible kingdom of God among the children of men. With this kingdom was to come vast social, political, but especially religious change. The nation was to be freed from foreign domination and life was to be blessed spiritually.
By prophecy the Jews had long foreseen this time. Now the intimation of the race consciousness whispered that the time of fulfillment was ripe.
