Restoration of the Land
During the end of the 19th century as the Jewish people returned to the land, the deserts began to blossom. Today farms and flowers cover what had been as wilderness and wasteland for centuries.

During the end of the 19th century as the Jewish people returned to the land, the deserts began to blossom. Today farms and flowers cover what had been as wilderness and wasteland for centuries.
God chose a particular people, the Jews, to carry His message to the world. Then He chose a specific land, Israel, upon which to put His name.
The state of Israel is proof that God’s Word is true; that He will not break His promises. Israel wasn’t “born” in 1948, she was re-established as a nation. Thousands of years ago God warned Israel that there would come a day when He would exile her from the land, but He promised that He would bring her back.
The command to restore and build Jerusalem was given to Nehemiah by King Artaxerxes in the year 445 BC (BCE). It is not a coincidence that the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was given in the month of Nissan, the same month that the Jews were set free from Egypt – the month of Passover.
Reminding ourselves of yesterday’s post, it is not surprising that in “that day” we will see the restoration of the land of Israel, the gathering and return of the Jewish people and the nations coming to Jerusalem to worship the King of Kings.
The context of this praise is the Messianic Age, when the Branch from the root (or rod) of Jesse rules and reigns from Jerusalem.
God’s plans for Israel will not be thwarted. He prophesied through Jeremiah, but fulfilled the prophesy through the secular Gentile king, Cyrus of Persia.
Yesterday we stopped in the middle of the verse, here is the rest:
Ezekiel was living in exile in Babylon. Nevertheless, he proclaimed God’s promise to regather the people and restore the land of Israel. Even in the darkest times, Israel could have faith in God’s enduring promises.
The enemy of God is Satan. God’s love for Israel causes Satan to hate her. Over the years Satan has tried many times to annihilate the people and completely destroy the land
