THE PHENOMENA OF ALIYAH
“He that scatters Israel will gather Israel …” Jeremiah 31;10
This is a remarkable prophetic promise being enacted before our eyes today. God spoke with a stern warning to Israel under Moses, that should Israel depart and wander and, deliberately turn from Him He would scatter them to the four corners of the Earth … this He warned them of, repeatedly through the Prophets and Jesus too warned them, Jesus wept over Jerusalem as He looked Prophetically through the Coming ages, seeing what Ezekiel saw … in Ezekiel 34 … a nation alone, wandering, hunted by ravaging “wild beasts”
It was Jesus Who said “you’ll not see Me until you say … “Blessed is He that comes in the Name Of The Lord” The great gathering of Jeremiah 31;10 is characterised by some unique factors:
The “scattering” is different to the Exiles (Assyrian and Babylonian) which were for a prescribed time of chastening. The Scattering is a judgement … Matthew 23 is the Divine Indictment against the wayward Nation who had preferred the external observances to the inner, hear repentance and intimate walk and worship of their God.
Such was their hardness of heart and blindness of vision that they had “slain the Prince of Glory” whom they professed to long for, Acts 2; 34-36.
- The Psalmist in Psalm 102 talks about a Day(Era) when “The Lord will build again Zion” and will “come suddenly” Prior to this, will be the calling back of His People from the four corners of the earth.
- Revelation 12 talks about the unmitigated treachery of The Dragon who seeks to destroy The Woman (Israel) “knowing he has but a short time” This of course was part of the deliberate murder of six million European Jews under Hitler
- Just three years after the destruction of Nazi Germany the modern State of Israel is declared and a massive program was developed to make the Land habitable for those coming “home”
- From Disaster to Deliverance … many returned to the Land, others stayed in lands of their adoption … but the call comes still today to “Return”. Jeremiah saw the day when “fishermen” would visit Jews wherever they were “hiding” or residing to call them back to the Land and if the Jews were reluctant to obey, the “hunters” would come, Jeremiah 16;16 and would hound them out of their complacency and false security (we see that in France and Belgium and now in America etc)
How will they come? Isaiah 60 says firstly by ship then like birds of the air” verses 8-10.
You and I can be part of this great phenomena, through prayer, urgent prayer, through giving, to pay for impoverished Jews still in former Soviet countries, vulnerable through poverty and vulnerable through the lack of Prophetic warnings and promises.
The True Church has largely forgotten her responsibility to Israel as enunciated by the Apostle Paul in Romans 15;27. I am convinced and committed to teach Prophetic Truths regarding Israel and The End Times because She figures so prominently in the End Time Calendar of God.
