You probably already know this, but for those who don’t, dispensationalism is relatively new because the Church forgot the faithfulness of our God and tried to reinterpret the plain reading of scripture to fit the facts we knew at the time. When the prophets referred to Israel in the scriptures, they really meant Israel.

Prior to 1948 it was difficult to believe there ever would be an Israel again, after Babylon’s apparently final conquest of Judah in 587 BC. That’s understandable. There was no Israel for over 2500 years! The “experts” figured the prophecies about a renewed Israel must have referred to the church.

But, lo and behold, once again we have an Israel, just as the prophets foretold. Maybe right now it’s just a bare bones Israel, perhaps with muscle and sinew, but some day those bones are going to a new SPIRIT! I believe that will happen when they recognize Jesus as their Messiah.

This may not be that day. But Bibi’s call for the Jews to return to Israel is a beginning.

There is undeniably a special preservational spiritual power behind the Jewish people, and this is the God who will never welsh on a promise while forgiving many, many sins.

It is not an either-or story with Jews and Christians; it is both-and. They are destined to merge.

“But Bibi’s call for the Jews to return to Israel is a beginning.”

I find it amazing. And inspirational. I’m sure the liberals have no clue how momentous - and actually non-political - this is.

Recognizing Jesus as the Messiah is entirely antithetical to the Jewish faith down to the very core. If anything, God is preparing the world for the time when Christians will rightly abandon and denounce Jesus as a false prophet and messiah. So too will Muslims rightly forsake Mohammed as a false prophet and the vile, perverted tenets of Islam. Every heart and mind will open to the one true God, whereon the world will proclaim and believe "Hear, O Israel! The Lord is God! The Lord is One!"
