Watchmen on the Walls

The events of this book cover a period of 12 months, during which time we have witnessed one of the most momentous events in the history of the Jewish people -- the birth of the New Jewish State of Israel. This period falls into two parts: (1) From November 29, 1947, when the United Nations' Council voted for the Partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states, until May 14, 1948, with the ending of the British Mandate in Palestine; and (2) from May 15, 1948, when the new State of Israel was proclaimed, through the Siege of Jerusalem, till December 3, 1948, when the "Sincere Truce" came into force in Jerusalem. This is a personal record kept by one of twelve Protestant missionaries who remained in the Jewish area of besieged Jerusalem, and it is sent forth as an account of the wonderful mercy and goodness of God, during these historic twelve months, but even more particularly, as a trumpet call for prayer and intercession to the people of God, from the little group of Christ's "Watchmen on the Walls of Jerusalem." - Introduction.
