Turkey, deluded, or bribed, or both, had thrown in her lot with Germany.
In a leading article dated Nov. 2, “The Times” summed up the matter
thus—“Whatever may be the immediate consequences of Turkish intervention,
there is a general consensus of opinion throughout the world that it
means the end of Turkey.”  Bible students grasped the situation at once
recognizing the immense significance of the event, and on the same day at
the C.M.S. Anniversary at Exeter I pointed out the overwhelming
importance of this intelligence, in connection with Missionary work, the
future of the Jewish Nation and our Lord’s Return.  I have heard from
Jerusalem of the keen excitement of the Jews there, and of the hope often
expressed that England would take action on their behalf.  The secular
press in many quarters is already suggesting that the Allies at the
conclusion of the War might well establish the Jews in Palestine as a
buffer-state; this is exactly what some of us have for many years pointed
out, from the study of prophecy, as a likely solution of the near Eastern
question.  Perhaps, it may be so—God’s promises unfold very quickly when
the time for their appearance is ripe.  Our business is to watch and
pray, giving the Lord no rest till He establish and until He make
Jerusalem a praise on the earth, and above all constantly sending forth
the cry of His waiting Church—“even so, come Lord Jesus.”
