Even though Israel was dispersed, God miraculously preserved her. One of the greatestmiracles in the history of mankind is the fact that Israel remained a race of people even thoughshe was broken into fragments and scattered to the four winds of the earth. It is, indeed, almostunbelievable that for 2000 years Israel has remained as homogenous as any race of people,living within the boundaries of their own country.Even though God would “cast them off for a season” (Romans 11), He was not throughwith them. Another emphasized truth in Scripture is the restoration of Israel to her own land.Leviticus 26:42, “Then will I remember My covenant with Jacob,and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant withAbraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.”Isaiah 14:1, “For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and willyet choose Israel, and set them in their own land.”Jeremiah 16:14-15, “Therefore, behold, the days come, saith theLORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, thatbrought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. But, TheLORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the landof the north, and from all the lands whither He had driven them:and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto theirfathers.”Ezekiel 37:21, “And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen,whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, andbring them into their own land.”Deuteronomy 30:3-5, “That then the LORD thy God will turn thycaptivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return andgather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hathscattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost partsof heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, andfrom thence will He fetch thee: And the LORD thy God will bringthee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shaltpossess it; and He will do thee good, and multiply thee above thyfathers.”Jeremiah 23:7-8, “Therefore, behold, the days come, saith theLORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, whichbrought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, TheLORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of thehouse of Israel out of the north country, and from all countrieswhither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their ownland.”Amos 9:14-15, “And I will bring again the captivity of My peopleof Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them;and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; theyshall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plantthem upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out oftheir land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.”
The restoration of Israel is, certainly, in full swing today and has been going on eversince May 14, 1948. Don’t minimize the importance of this momentous event. And keep in mindJesus said, “I tell you the truth, this generation (that is the generation that witnesses the singsgiven in Matthew 24 – especially the sign of the “budding of the fig tree” – (and it is Israel thatis likened unto a fig tree in the Old Testament) – will certainly not pass away until all thesethings have happened” (Matthew 24:34).Ben-Gurion, Prime Minister of Israel in 1948 to 1963, said on May 14, 1948, “Ezekiel37 has been fulfilled and the nation of Israel is hearing the footsteps of the Messiah.”The land of Israel becoming a nation of the Jewish people on May 14, 1948 is thegreatest prophetically significant event to have taken place since the death and resurrection ofour Lord Jesus Christ and the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost.Just think of it! In our generation the Gentiles are relinquishing their power of the HolyLand and Israel is a nation again after being buried among the nations of the world for almost2000 years. We are seeing the revival of the nation of Israel. She is, as God predicted for the lastdays, “blossoming as the rose,” and “the fig tree is budding” in our generation!If you want to know what time it is on God’s Prophetical clock, just look and see how Heis dealing with Israel.There ware a couple of essential facts one should realize as he looks at the fulfillment ofthese events.1. What is taking place in Israel today is not the entire fulfillment of BibleProphecy because the Jew, by enlarge, is returning to Israel in unbelief. God’sWord predicts that Israel will turn to God in true repentance. The completefulfillment of these Old Testament prophecies will not come to pass until Israelaccepts Jesus Christ as her true Messiah.2. God’s Word predicts that Gentiles nations will “divided the land,” that is, theland of Israel. Joel 3:2 prophecies of the time when “they parted the land,” andDaniel 11:39 prophecies, “They will divide the land for gain.” This is exactlywhat happened at the end of World War I with the Belfour Declaration. Whenthe British General, Allenby, captured Jerusalem during World War I (1917) heliberated Jerusalem from the Turks and the land was “divided.”Jesus prophesied that “Jerusalem will be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times ofthe Gentiles be fulfilled” (Luke 21:24).Lesson TwoThe Struggle Over IsraelThe struggle and unrest in the land of Israel in these modern days is nothing new to thatregion. It is, rather, a continuation of the strife that for centuries has characterized that particularportion of the globe. Many wars have been waged, and much blood has been shed as the armiesof succeeding generations have battled again and again for possession of the same parched,barren and bleak area.
