In that very year, a Jewish man named Mordecai Noah, who had made the return of the Jewish people to the Holy Land the focus of his life, delivered a number discourses which were published the following year. His message reflected the fact that the times of the Gentiles were fulfilled. He said: "..the Almighty.. threw the mantle of his Divine protection over his chosen people, and has preserved them amid unheard-of dangers to this very day.. the same people.. he had brought out of Egyptian bondage, and.. given the land of Israel.., and who is now leading us back in peace and happiness to repossess our ancient and promised heritage."
(14:16)
