The question that many rational people are asking is “How is the world obsessed with Israel waging an unwanted defensive war, who makes up less than 1% of the world population, while ignoring openly evil regimes slaughtering and enslaving millions?”
“Furthermore, how has this led to a stunning worldwide rise in anti-Semetism and outright Jew hatred, who’s levels that have exceeded what it was in World War 2 and more international protests openly calling for more massacres of the Jewish people?”
If you try to somehow rationalize this, this makes no sense. If you actually read and believe the Bible, world events are becoming quite clear. The problem is that the answer to these questions are not logical ones, but one of spiritual roots and biblical promises foretold by the prophets.
BUT what did the prophets actually say..??
Lets put aside the twisted media reports, biased social media influencers and deceptively edited IG reels. What exactly does God promise in the Bible?
• God has made an everlasting covenant between Himself, the Jewish people and a particular piece of land. FOREVER. That includes today. (Genesis 15, 17)
• One of the most repeated promises in the Bible is that God will return His people back to this land. It is repeated by almost every prophet in the Bible (most notably Jeremiah 31).
o Its happening right now and has no historical equal in human history between an ancient people group and their historical homeland.
• When the Jewish people return, it will no longer be 2 kingdoms but one nation (Ezekiel 37)
o No other sovereign nation today is called by the same name, on the same land and speaking the same language as it was 3000 years ago.
• Once considered a dead language, the Hebrew language will be revived (Zephaniah 3)
o No other people group in history have revived a dead language, originally spoken by their ancestors, as their common unifying tongue. No one.
• When the Jewish people return, the physical land will respond and produce in a way that it never has before (Ezekiel 36).
o It’s happening. I have visually and historically documented this stunning and ongoing process in my best selling then/now photo book “Israel Rising”.
• The Jewish people will be multiplied on the land again (Ezekiel 36)
o Its happening. No time in recorded history has a national population absorbed immigration that doubled its size in 3 years. In 1948, 650,000 Jews were in Israel. 3 years later in 1951, over 700,000 more immigrants arrived, more than doubling the population. The Jewish population has multiplied many times over since then.
• The waste and forgotten biblical cities will be rebuilt, most notably Jerusalem (Ezekiel 36, Zachariah 8 ).
o I have visually and historically documented this amazing ongoing process in my best selling then/now photo book, “Jerusalem Rising”.
• An exceeding great army will stand to their feet from dry bones and be called “the whole house of Israel (Ezekiel 37).
o For the first time since Ezekiel spoke this, the “house of Israel” is again an exceedingly powerful army, standing in its biblical homeland.
• At some point, all nations will gather against Jerusalem, Israel (Zechariah 12, 14 )
o Perhaps for the first time ever, right now nations are beginning to openly choose sides, either for or against Israel, in the UN, in international courts and in public opinion.
On top of this, no other ancient people group in history have any type of ancient writings foretelling this entire process of the destruction of their homeland, scattering of the people to then the regathering to the same location as a thriving strong and independent nation. Not the Romans, the Chinese, the Persians, the Greeks- No one. Proven to be true and historically accurate, this fact alone should lead us back to the Biblical narrative where these prophecies are found.
Lets review:
Try to figure out the truth by modern news reports- confused.
Read and believe the prophets- everything becomes clear.
"But the Bible is just for religious crazy people and is all a bunch of coincidence." Ok sure... Believe what you like- I didn't write it, just telling you what it says.
We each get to decide if the Bible is real and accurate or not... then how we'll respond to it. Good luck with that ;)
