This event has caused me to rethink whether Israel is the Divine biblical restoration of the dispersed Nation of Israel or just another wart on the socialist backside of Mother Nature.

Clearly they have turned their back on the God of their Fathers.

The Jews have to be there, per Zechariah 14 and many other prophecies, before the “time of trouble” mentioned in Daniel and the “day of the LORD” in the minor prophets (in Revelation as well). The restoration of the lost tribes is a Messianic charge to be handled by the Messiah Himself. So yes, the Jews being there is prophesied, as is yet another liberal falling away.

The ingathering most certainly has Divine biblical significance, but the state founded in 1948 is not and never was the prophesied Third Commonwealth. Fundamentalist Protestants have interpreted it as such because the real Restoration will not fit their chrstian beliefs.

Clearly they have turned their back on the God of their Fathers.

The Zionist movement was founded as just one more nineteenth century secular European nationalist movement, no different from the Italian risorgimento, the Fenian movement, or the Armenian Dashnaks. Most of the new settlers were not religious. However, there is now a large Orthodox community there with numerous yeshivot.

There is no doubt that much good has come from Jews once again having a state in the Holy Land. But this state is still not the restoration prophesied in the Bible.
