And there is hope for your future —declares Hashem: Your children shall return to their country. Jeremiah 31:13 (The Israel Bible™)
The latest forecast from Jerusalem says that Israel is expecting 90,000 Jews from the diaspora to emigrate to Israel by the end of 2021. The process of Jewish people worldwide naturalizing in Israel is called ‘Aliyah’. Aliyah Integration Minister Pnina Tamano-Shata said on Wednesday that the latest estimates reveal that 90,000 Jews worldwide (Olim) will move to Israel from around the world in the next 18 months reports the JPost.
Meanwhile, Nefesh b’ Nefesh, a non-profit organization that facilitates the Aliyah process, reported that more American Jews applied to immigrate to Israel or inquired about it in May than in any single month over the last two decades.
The organization experienced nearly double the amount of Aliyah applications in May 2020 than in the same month last year. More than 800 households applied to make Aliyah online, compared to just 424 in May 2019.
Biblical perspective
The current Aliya surge seems to be what the prophet Jeremiah spoke about in chapter 31 passage 13:
And there is hope for your future —declares Hashem: Your children shall return to their country. (Jeremiah 31:13)
The Israel Bible elaborates on this exerpt saying: “In this moving passage, God speaks directly to the matriarch Rachel, who is known in Jewish tradition as having a special role in the redemption of her children, the Jewish people, and their return to Israel. According to Jewish tradition, when her father Laban gave her sister Leah to Yaakov in marriage in her stead, Rachel revealed to Leah a secret sign she had made with Yaakov in order to spare Leah from embarrassment. Because of Rachel’s unparalleled selflessness and love for her sister, it is

And it’s 13:17, not 13:13.
Almost. Actually it is Jer 31:17.
Right, my bad.
Jeremiah is referring to the Jews returning back from Babylon in 500 BC, NOT about today
Civil unrest all over the world??? This is far more peaceful in the world than any time since 300 AD.
And rumors of wars? you really want to compare this to 1905-1914?
Exactly - we are living in far more peaceful times than most of recorded history
Jeremiah - the Jews of the Hasmonean era saw THEIR time (and correctly saw it) as the fulfillment of Jeremiah.
Well, more like 2470 years ago :)
oooh, oooh — we have 3 periods of time that make more sense of Jeremiah’s than this silly article
JJOTTO and Charley with the period of the 1990s
Circle with 1948
Cronos with 500 BC
Whichever it be, we can comfortably say it’s more than today! :-D
Well, in short they weren't "lost"
The Samaritans have genes from the northern tribes that is the remnant who stayed
The northern tribes were also carted a few hundred km to northern Iraq. The northern Iraqis + Kurds and Persians will have some of these genes. Plus Armenians
Who definitely AIN’T part of the lost tribes are the “generic British” - or western Europeans in general. The entire British-Israelism is hilariously false
Well, the Hasmonean Jewish dynasty conquered Edom in 100 BC and forcibly converted the Edomites/Idumeans to the Hebraic religion. Herod was the son of one such convert.
And the Edomite/Idumean nation perished in the Jewish-Roman wars of 66 AD to 132 AD -- by the end of which the Edomites had been completely absorbed into the Jewish identity
By DNA, most people will have some descent from Abraham — he was 4000 years ago. That’s enough time for his genes to dissipate to some of the Chinese to some of the Irish and to some of the sub-saharan Africans. Perhaps even you, amorphous.
Out of the "sea" is an indication of a foreign power. This is the leopard-bear-lion beast as in Daniel. This is an amalgam of the beasts in Daniel, signifying all of the world empires.
Daniel 7 - first beast like a lion (v 4), second like a beat (v 5), third like a leopard (v 6), fourth had ten horns (v 7)Then with the seventh head, it was referring to the Roman Empire which was "as it were slain to death but healed" -- the Roman empire was in turmoil with the death of Nero, but it healed
Rev 13:5 and power was given to him to do two and forty months.
-- 42 months, the duration of the first Jewish-Roman war *66AD to 69 AD* culminating in the total utter destruction of Jerusalem (what we now call ancient Jerusalem is actually Aelia Capitolino, the Roman city built by Hadrian in 130 AD)
Rev 13:11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns, like a lamb,
Coming out of the earth - signifying a local, Judean authority - the Sanhedrin and the High Priest in Jerusalem
The chapter ends with a reference to Nero - the 666, The numeric value of Nero Caesar in Hebrew. The Ethiopic manuscript has the number as 616, the numerical value of Nero's name in Hebrew according to its Latin spelling
“knocked the trumpet out of Moron’s hand” — who is this moron you refer to?
Not all levites stayed south. There were Levites in the northern kingdom. In the southern kingdom you had Judah, Benjamin and also Simeon (they were surrounded by Judah and probably absorbed very early on)
Levites had no tribal allotments as they were the ‘priestly’ class so they tended to live any where in Israel where they could be of service.
“ Thus said the Lord GOD: I will raise My hand to nations And lift up My ensign to peoples; And they shall bring your sons in their bosoms, And carry your daughters on their backs.”
Isa 49:22
