Israel Regathered
by David J. Stewart | January 2006
The Jews are God's People
The Devil hates God and all that is of God. This is why Israel is so hated around the world, because they are God's chosen nation. Sadly, MOST Jews are headed straight for Hell when they die to burn in the sulfuric flames of torment because they have arrogantly rejected Jesus Christ as the ONLY True Messiah. Nevertheless, they are still God's chosen people. I read a lot of anti-Jewish propaganda, even from professed Christians. Say what you will, Israel is the Apple of God's eye...
"For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye." -Zechariah 2:8
I am not justifying Israel's evil deeds, they are accountable to God just as all nations are; I am just saying that the Jews are God's chosen people according to the Bible. God in His sovereignty chose Israel as his ambassadors to the rest of the human race. Israel was to be God's people, proclaiming God's saving grace of the gospel of Christ Jesus; but, they forsook God.
But, Most Jews are Not God's Children
Unfortunately, Israel rebelled and spit in God's face, even crucifying their Messiah. God turned to the Gentiles instead to proclaim the Gospel.
A clear distinction MUST be made between God's people and God's children. God divorced Himself from the nation of Israel in the Old Testament, but NOT from His children. God finally gave up on Israel. Jesus said that Rome would totally annihilate what remained of Israel in A.D. 70. Look what Hitler did to Israel. It is obvious that God is not defending Israel as He once did way back in the Old Testament when David was king. Are the Jews still God's people? Yes! However, and sadly, most of them are not God's children and will go to Hell when they die. No one (not even Jews) can go to Heaven without being BORN AGAIN (John 3:3). John Hagee is a heretic!
The Jews are God's people in a physical sense. However, to be a Child of God means realizing one's own sinful condition and then turning to the Saviour in repentance, trusting upon Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Hence, you also become a spiritual Jew. Only saved Jews will be a part of the "remnant" which Paul speaks of in Romans 11:1-5. Have you ever asked Jesus Christ to forgive all your sins? Have you ever confessed your sins to Christ? Do you believe that Jesus is the ONLY begotten Son of God, God manifest in the flesh? Have you been born-again?
Most Jews deny that Jesus is even the Messiah. They are NOT God's children. You see friend, you can be a physical Jew and still not be a spiritual Jew. I once witnessed to a Jewish woman who laughed in my face when I asked her if she was going to heaven. She exclaimed..."Of course I'm going to heaven, I'm Jewish." The Word of God teaches that ONLY through Jesus Christ can anyone get to heaven (John 10:1,9;14:6). Don't be fooled by "another gospel" my friend, I don't care who you are...you will burn in hell if you don't get your sins forgiven. I'm not talking about religion here, I'm talking about your sins. Have your sins been forgiven by Jesus Christ? Have you ever believed upon the Lord Jesus to save you from hell and forgive your sins? If not, please do so NOW!
Israel Has NOT Been Regathered by God Yet
Jesus prophesied that Jerusalem would be completely destroyed in A.D. 70, and it was. Just as Abraham doubted God's promise of a son, and took matters into his own hands; many Jews today are trying to HELP God rebuild Israel; but, it is not God's time.
I do NOT believe that the modern-day restoration of the nation of Israel is the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Why? Well for one, God promised to re-gather Israel when He returns, not before. Christ hasn't returned yet. Israel will be regathered "In his days" according to the next verse. In whose days? In the days when Jesus Christ will reign from Jerusalem over the entire earth.
"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS...they shall dwell in their own land." Jeremiah 23:5-8
Secondly, God clearly told Abraham what the boundaries of this land would be...
"In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:" -Genesis 15:18
So Israel basically has been promised every inch of presently occupied Arab land. Everything from the Nile River down in Egypt, up to the Euphrates river in Syria belongs to Israel when Christ returns. Israel does NOT possess their land yet in accordance with Biblical prophecy. The Bible clearly teaches that God will firmly plant Israel in the land, a land MUCH bigger than what Israel presently owns.
Another reason I believe that modern-day Israel is not the Biblical fulfillment of prophecy is because Israel has NOT been restored to it's once incredible agricultural and beautiful status. The following Scripture promises gardens, vineyards, and built-up cities (all of which Israel does not have yet). Yes, there have been some agricultural developments in Israel, but nothing like it was in the days of King Solomon. Israel will be restored when Christ returns to a paradise.
"And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God." (Amos 9:14-15)
Also, every born again Arab has as much right to the future Promised Land as does any saved Jew. Galatians 3:7 states, "Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham." The Promised Land isn't just for saved Jews; but, for all saved people. Jesus Christ will reign from Jerusalem, and all believers will serve under our Eternal King. There are those today who ignorantly claim that Jesus won't physically reign as King from Jerusalem, but He will according to Zechariah 14:9. Then there are others who foolishly believed that even unsaved Jews will inherit the Promised Land. Sorry, it won't happen! John 3:3 couldn't be any clearer that "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Only through faith alone in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior can you go to Heaven (Acts 16:31).
The Star of David is NOT Found in the Bible
Also, the "Star of David" is NOT found in the Bible and is in fact the Satanic hexagram, no doubt resulting in part from the occult Masonic influences of the Rothschilds family who were instrumental in the re-birth of Israel. I am not saying that God isn't working in Israel today, I am simply saying that Biblical prophecy paints a far different picture than what has happened to Israel over the past 50 years. I love Jewish people, just as I love ALL people. God is NO respecter of persons. Jewish people are God's people and I believe that they are dear to the heart of God, but that in no way makes them any better or more privileged than anyone else.
Yes, the Jewish people are God's people according to the Bible. However, the Biblical promises of regathering and restoration will ONLY be for born-again Israelites, not those Christ-rejecting Jews who adhered to the false religion of Judaism. It's heaven or hell, turn or burn. It's Jesus or hell my friend. If you are a Jew and want to be part of the regathering of Israel someday, then you MUST receive Jesus Christ into your heart as your personal Saviour to be saved.
"And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord" -(Ezekiel 37:13,14).
The above verse clearly teaches that the restored Israel will be inhabited by resurrected saints.
"Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:" -Romans 9:27
How sad that only a small fraction of Israel will someday inhabit the Promised Land. It is tragic indeed (and totally unnecessary), but us humans are stubborn and filled with sinful selfish pride.
"But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness." -Romans 9:31
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." -John 3:3
