Is God finished with Israel as a nation? It would be easy for the church to think that since Christ has come and salvation is only through Him then God is finished with Israel. However, God is certainly not finished with Israel and He has a special plan for them. Let’s see:

For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery–so that you will not be wise in your own estimation–that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,
“THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION,
HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.”
“THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM,
WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.” Romans 11:25-27

Did you catch that? Israel was partially hardened but in the future ALL of Israel will be saved. God was in fact finished with Israel but only for a time. We are now seeing Israel coming back into the picture. In 1948, Israel became a nation for the second time in history. This happened in one day and was remarkably foretold in the bible:

Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. Isaiah 66:7-8

There are many other scriptures that foretell the rebirth of Israel and the regathering of the jews back to the land called Palestine, see Amos 9:14-15, Ezekiel 34:13 & 37:21-2, Jeremiah 16:14-15

So why is God bringing Israel back into the picture? He has a plan to reveal Himself to them in an awesome way!

The bible explains how Israel will be saved

A day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided among you. I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.

Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.

On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost. It will be a unique day, without daytime or nighttime—a day known to the LORD. When evening comes, there will be light.

On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the eastern sea and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter.

The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name. Zechariah 14:1-9

Wow. Israel will be in big big trouble, total annihilation will be close. Then, the Lord Himself will come down from heaven and fight against the nations attacking Israel! Then Israel will know their Messiah when He saves them from their enemies.

Jewish-owned land lost in Arab countries: 38,625 sq.miles; Israel’s total area: 7,992 sq.miles!

It wont be long before there will be no jews left in the Middle East apart from in Israel.

God Himself proclaimed that He would bring HIS people back to THEIR LAND in Ezekiel 36.

For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land. Ezekiel 36:24

The rebirth of the nation of Israel is a fulfillment of prophecy. Israel is still the apple of God’s eye (Zechariah 2:8).

You will hear the word Zionism and zionists used as a derogatory term to label the movement to establish a homeland for the jewish people and anyone who supports it. This term is mainly used by muslims. Well, they should be careful: God is a zionist! God is the one who gave that land to Israel. God is the one who will bring His people back to that land. God will fight against Jerusalem’s foes:

Behold, a day is coming for the LORD when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you. For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south. Zechariah 14:2-4
