The Zionist organization United Israel Bulletin (UIB) has published Charles Russell's prophecies on Zionism for years and they are read by devote Russellites even today. The UIB is still in contact with Russellite families and stresses the universality of the Hebrew Bible which it calls a "blueprint for life".

The seeds Pastor Russell had sown bore good fruit. His
writings and works have been widely published, and to this day
tens of thousands of loyal devotees are to be found around the
world, especially in the United States.
Among these devotees was the late John J. Hoefle, who
directed the Epiphany Bible Students Association at Mount
Dora, Florida. Having lived a long and fruitful life. Pilgrim
Hoefle was gathered unto his fathers in April of 1984 at the age
of eighty-nine.
This writer enjoyed a close and friendly contact with the
Hoefle family, and has continued keeping in touch with his
devoted widow, Emily. For years she has been following the
Pastor Russell features appearing in the United Israel Bulletin,
as have hundreds of other loyal students of the renowned
Pastor. Mrs. Hoefle, in discussions with the writer, expressed
the need in these critical days facing mankind for making some
move to bring into the light of day the historic life and works of
the noted Bible scholar who was such an ardent Zionist.
As a beginning, it was agreed that a book would be pub-
lished to incorporate the basic Russell articles that have
appeared in the United Israel Bulletin, and that the volume
would be dedicated to her husband, John J. Hoefle, one of the
Pastor's most loyal champions.
This writer is the editor of the United Israel Bulletin—a
publication basically Jewish—Hebraic in nature and stressing
the universality of the Hebrew Bible, which it calls "Blueprint
of Life" as recounting prophetically the history and future of
the children of Israel, in all their twelve tribes, as well as the
destiny of all nations. Pastor Russell's clear insight into the
prophecies of the Bible concerning the resurrection of Israel in
the Holy Land have intrigued and interested this writer. It was
therefore decided to publish these prophecies of Russell's—an
action resulting in hundreds of contacts with his devotees
around the world.
