That Kirk of the Jews …

The Scottish Covenanters had the right priorities Matthew Vogan explains…

They were on a Scottish hillside in fear of government troops arresting or killing those at this “illegal” worship service. Why would the young preacher pause his sermon and begin to pray for the restoration of the Jews?

It was 11 July 1680, a Lord’s Day. The government was hunting Richard Cameron, just 32 years of age, across the moors and hills of Scotland. His crime was that he would not submit to the government’s total control of the Church. To worship in secret was considered rebellion and there was a high price on his head.
