Chrysostom of old called the conversion of the Jews very fitly and truly, [Greek or Hebrew], a strange thing, and a wonder. The truth is, that the conversion of any soul is a miracle. The conversion of souls, is the only standing miracle which remaineth in the Church of God; For it is beyond the power of nature to produce such a thing as soul-conversion: But what a miracle then will the conversion of the Jews be? for a whole Nation to be converted, and that at once, a Nation born at once, and such a Nation as the Jews, who have ever been so opposite to God, and to Jesus Christ, and to the Gospel, and to the spirit of grace? how miraculous will this be? But besides this, I conceive and believe that the conversion of the Jews will not be brought to pass only by the ordinary means of preaching the Gospel, but by Vision, as Paul's was, by a glorious manifestation of the person of the Son of God from heaven unto all the Tribes on the earth, causing them to mourn. There are many Scriptures and reasons which make me inclinable to such an apprehension, but intending to handle that subject by it self, I here desist; for I would not anticipate my self.
