Doesn’t the Bible speak of the regathering of the Jews to their ancient homeland? YES! Quite expansively. But that regathering occurs AFTER the return of Jesus Christ and is supernatural. It includes the resurrection of all of the Jews and their companion tribes, who have died down through the centuries! The elect of God, at that time resurrected themselves and then immortal spirit beings, will assist in this regathering. This regathering is shown in a vision given to the prophet Ezekiel and is recorded in the first ten verses of the 37th chapter of the Book of Ezekiel. In verses 11 through 14 God then interprets this vision for Ezekiel. Any one who interprets this vision differently has simply failed to let God speak. The establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 did not fulfill this prophecy. Only a small percentage of Jews returned to Israel at that time.
Any regathering prior to the Jews acceptance of Jesus as their true Messiah is a diabolic regathering initiated by Satan’s deceptions and can only result in the near annihilation of the Jewish people. Satan will attempt to complete the job he started with Adolph Hitler, and intensely desires all Jews to gather themselves together in one geographic location so that they can be annihilated en masse.
Read the 37th chapter of Ezekiel slowly and carefully. Do not “spiritualize” it. It is not an allegory. It is a blow-by-blow description of how God is going to literally resurrect the entire House of Israel and return them to their ancient homeland at that time. Every Jew who perished in Hitler’s death camps will be brought back to life. Auschwitz, Dachau and Buchenwald will give up their dead! Ravensbruck, Treblinka, and Bergen-Belsen will no longer cover their slain. Those who are and ever have been the apple of God’s eye, though cut off from fellowship with Him temporarily, will rejoice in their God, the God of Israel. The minute description of their living again given to Ezekiel is that of a literal physical resurrection. They are not resurrected as immortal spirit beings like the redeemed children of God, but are merely brought back to physical, temporary life again. It is then God will open their eyes to the truth and they will accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah, Savior and Lord. (See Zechariah 12:9-14 with Zechariah 13:1). God help you to understand.
