Here are three distinct and fascinating ways we can know that God is not done with Israel, grounded in Scripture, history, and prophecy: 1. The Rebirth of Israel as a Nation (Fulfilled Prophecy) The miraculous restoration of Israel in 1948, after nearly 2,000 years of dispersion, is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy and a clear sign of God’s ongoing plan for His chosen people. •Prophecy Fulfilled: •Ezekiel 37:21-22: “Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land. And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel.” •This prophecy from the Valley of Dry Bones was partially fulfilled when Israel became a modern nation. •Historical Miracle: •No other nation in history has maintained its identity and returned to its ancestral homeland after such a prolonged exile. This unique event highlights God’s hand at work, preserving His covenant with Israel. 2. God’s Covenants with Israel are Eternal and Unconditional God made several unconditional covenants with Israel that remain valid today because they are based on His faithfulness, not human performance. •Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 17:7-8): •“And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you.” •This covenant promises the land of Canaan and an eternal relationship between God and Abraham’s descendants. •Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7:16): •“And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever.” •This covenant ensures that a descendant of David (fulfilled in Jesus) will reign eternally, connecting Israel’s destiny to God’s Kingdom. •New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-37): •“Thus says the LORD: If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, declares the LORD.” •God promises to restore Israel spiritually, demonstrating that His covenant relationship with them is unbreakable. 3. Israel’s Central Role in Future Prophecies The Bible contains numerous end-times prophecies that clearly place Israel at the center of God’s redemptive plan, confirming that He is not done with them. •Zechariah 12:10: •“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him.” •This prophecy points to a future national repentance and recognition of Jesus as the Messiah by Israel. •Romans 11:25-26: •“Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved.” •Paul explains that Israel’s current unbelief is temporary and that their ultimate restoration is guaranteed. •Jesus’ Return to Jerusalem: •Zechariah 14:4: “On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east.” •The Second Coming of Jesus is tied to Jerusalem, further proving Israel’s central role in God’s future plans. Takeaway 1.Historical Evidence: The rebirth of Israel is unparalleled and fulfills prophecy. 2.God’s Covenants: His promises to Israel are eternal and unconditional. 3.Prophetic Fulfillment: Future events, including Jesus’ return, are centered on Israel. These realities highlight that God’s faithfulness to Israel remains unshaken, and His plans for them are far from over.
