The Miracle of Israel

"For l will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land." 
Ezekiel 36:24

The Jews had been dispersed throughout the world for two thousand years yet they somehow kept their Jewish identity and national identity.  What a blessed generation we are, for we have seen the promise of God to His people Israel fulfilled.  Against all odds His people from around the world have been drawn home to the land God had promised, and they are prospering, it is truly miraculous.

The return to the land is powerful evidence of the truth of God's word.  I read one who could only describe it as 'beyond remarkable!'  That there is an Israel today can only be by the hand of God.  As we consider this great miracle we ought to be stirred with expectation and excitement for the days we live in, for God is at work.

God's purpose for Israel is not complete for He did not just promise to bring them back to the land, but that He would then give them a new heart and a new spirit, and put His Spirit within them (Ezekiel 36:26-27).  The Jews have had a return to the land, and we must pray that soon they will have a return of heart.  The greatest need of Israel today is that they would turn to Messiah Jesus.  We have seen a marvelous work of God in bringing the people back to the land, and there are still more miracles to come.  Oh what days we are living in!
