yet finished. When it is, the Jew will be satisfied to
have the curtain rung down upon him on the world's
great stage & to assimilate entirely with the rest of
mankind. The last word has not yet been spoken by the Jew. When
it is it wil there will be great rejoicing for the time wi[...]
have come according to the great. [ ] when the knowledge of God shall fill the
world as the waters cover the sea, when Justice shall flow
as mighty waters & righteousness as a perennial stream.
(Amos 5.²⁴)
