And His Name Shall Be Called Wonderful - Introduction
Dedicatory
To my precious mother in law and faithful mother in Israel whose life and mother love have been a constant to me, who constantly shows forth what a Savior Jesus is and who has used with telling effect in her fifty years of witnessing to her people Israel ISAIAH 9:6, is this book dedicated with deep thanksgiving to God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers and Mrs. Esther Kendal’s God, Who has always been her Shield, Defender, High Tower and Song because He had become her Salvation.
Foreward
Rev. Lee E. Roberson, D. D.
It gives me great joy to recommend this book to readers everywhere. Arthur Glass, the author, is a man who knows the Savior; therefore, he is qualified to write about Him. In addition to his knowledge of Christ, he knows the Hebrew language and the Word of God. In this book he is dealing with subjects not touched by many religious speakers and writers of today. The mind of any careful student is sure to be enlightened by a perusal of these studies. The heart of every Bible lover is certain to be warmed by the fervent presentation of Christ, the Messiah.
Arthur Glass is a Hebrew Christian who possesses a great burden for his own people. With Paul he can say, “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved.” I know his heart well enough to say that his primary purpose in publishing this book is that his own people, the Jews, might read and find Christ.
As director of the Southern Messianic Witness to Israel, Mr. Glass is rendering excellent Christian service. He is in demand over the Southland. He is a successful evangelist and Bible teacher.
It is my privilege as his pastor to commend him and his work to earnest Christians everywhere who “care” for the souls of others.

Introduction
The Studies contained in this booklet appeared in our monthly magazine THE STAR OF HOPE under the title of “A WORD STUDY FROM THE ORIGINAL HEBREW.” In committing them to the press and in commending them to our friends, I do not claim anything sensational nor extraordinary. But what is herein contained is the outcome of the desire to share with others the blessings I have received from a minute study of the Old Testament in the original language, the language I learned at my rabbinical, Orthodox, Talmudical father’s side at the cost of many weary hours, days and years, and much punishment when I failed to learn my lessons to my father’s satisfaction.
When I later came face to face with a Hebrew Christian missionary, I challenged him by saying, “Show me Christ in the Old Testament, and I will believe.” The Hebrew Christian brother accepted my challenge and promptly handed me a Hebrew Old Testament, and there he showed me the Lord Jesus Christ on every page. My salvation was the eternally glad result. Since then, I have been realizing with growing emphasis and appreciation what our blessed Lord meant when He said, “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of ME” (John 5:39); and they surely do!
Because I have been so richly blessed at the testimony of the Old Testament to our Lord Jesus Christ, I want to share this blessing from two desires: first, that if a Jewish brother of mine will read these testimonies from the Old Book, he may be led to a saving knowledge and acceptance of His Messiah and Savior Yeshua–Jesus, as I was; and second, that my Gentile Christian brethren may learn to appreciate and love the Savior more because He is indeed WONDERFUL! To this end and for this purpose I commit these humble studies to the press and to our readers, praying that God may use it for the salvation of souls (especially from among Israel) and for the blessing of those already saved, and also believing joyfully what God has said: “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isa. 55:11). Amen.
