Will
Israelis be Restored to the Land of Israel?
If God is for them, why are so many nations against them?
The
following are simply
what the Scriptures say about ancient Israel being restored; however, it must
also be pointed out that for them to be restored, they would have to repent: and
seek the Lord their God: something that modern day Israelis and Jewish people in
general, have not done. It should also be pointed out that the New
Testament uses the word "us" (Christians) rather than "them"
(Jews), Rom. 8:31-39. For more details on who God's people are, see Who
is a True Jew.
“…
the ransomed of the Lord will return, and come with joyful shouting to Zion,
with everlasting joy…” Isa.
35:10
“Bring
My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth, everyone who is
called by My name, And whom I have created for My glory… whom I have formed,
even whom I have made.” Isa.
43:5-7
“…
I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their forefathers.” Jer.
16:15
Then
I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measuring
line in his hand. So I said, "Where are you going?" And he
said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see how wide it is and how long it
is." And behold, the angel who was speaking with me was going out,
and another angel was coming out to meet him, and said to that young man,
saying, "Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls, because of the
multitude of men and cattle within it. "For I,' declares the LORD,
'will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her
midst.'" "Ho there! Flee from the land of the north,"
declares the LORD,
"for I have dispersed you as the four winds of the heavens," declares
the LORD.
"Ho, Zion! Escape, you who are living with the daughter of
Babylon." For thus says the LORD
of hosts, "After glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder
you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye."
Zech. 2:1-8
“'Woe
to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!'
declares the Lord … Then I Myself shall gather the remnant of My flock out of
all the countries where I have driven them and shall bring them back to their
pasture ... Therefore ... days are coming, ... when they will no longer say 'As
the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the Land of Egypt, but,
'As the Lord lives, who bought up and led back the descendants of the household
of Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries where I had
driven them. Then they shall live on their own soil.” Jer.
23:1,3, 7-8
“‘For…
I will restore… My people Israel and Judah.’
The Lord says, ‘I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to
their forefathers, and they shall possess it.’” Jer. 30:3
“…
they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up
for them. ... “For
I am with you… to save you; I will completely destroy all the nations where I
have scattered you. Only I will not
destroy you completely, but I will chasten you justly and by no means leave you
unpunished.” Jer. 30:9, 11
“And
you will know that I am the Lord, when I bring you into the land of Israel…
the land which I swore to give to your forefathers.” Ezek. 20:42
“And
I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and
bring them to their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel,
by the streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land… on the mountain
heights of Israel… and in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.”
Ezek. 34:13-14
“For
I will take you from the nations… and bring you into your own land.”
Ezek. 36:24
“…
on the mountains of Israel… And
they shall live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your
fathers lived; and they will live on it, they and their sons, and their sons’
sons, forever; and David My servant shall be their prince forever….
And the nations will know that I am the Lord who sanctifies Israel, when
My sanctuary is in their midst forever.”
Ezek. 37:1-19; 21-28
“Thus
says the Lord of hosts, ‘I am exceedingly jealous for Zion, yes, with great
wrath I am jealous for her.’ Thus
says the Lord, ‘I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of
Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be
called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts will be called
the Holy Mountain.” Zech. 7:2-3
“Thus
says the Lord of hosts, ‘Behold, I am going to save My people from the east and from the land of the west; and I will bring them back, and they will
live in the midst of Jerusalem, and they will be My people and I will be their
God in truth and righteousness… I will not treat the remnant… as in the
former days… For their will be peace… the vine will yield its fruit, the
land … its produce, and the heavens will give… dew; and I will cause the
remnant… to inherit all these things. And
it will come about that just as you were a curse among the nations, O house of
Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you that you may become a blessing.
Do not fear; let your hands be strong.
Zech. 8:7-8, 12-13
"And
I shall strengthen the house of Judah, and save the house of Joseph, and I shall
bring them back, because I have had compassion on them; And they will be
as though I had not rejected them; for I am the LORD
their God, and I will answer them. "And Ephraim will be like a mighty
man, and their heart will be glad as if from wine; Indeed, their children
will see it and be glad. Their heart will rejoice in the LORD.
And I will whistle for them to gather them together, for I have redeemed them;
And they will be as numerous as they were before. When I scatter
them among the peoples, they will remember Me in far countries, and they with
their children will ... come back. And I will bring them back ... until no
room can be found for them." Zech. 10:6-10
