Focusing on the historical belief among English Christians regarding their nation's divine mission, this book delves into the support for Jewish restoration from 1655 to 1841. It argues that England viewed itself as "chosen" to foster a unique relationship with the Jews, aimed at atoning for past wrongs and ensuring national survival until Christ's return. By exploring themes of national identity, apocalyptic prophecy, and political action, the book provides fresh insights into Christian perspectives on Jews and the concept of national election.
