Elisha Vision – Commentary

Wars and rumors of wars and 600 N. Americans decided it is time to move to Israel. If you have not read Jeremiah 31 lately, now is the time. God is moving on His people, Jesus is calling, and the Holy Spirit is drawing them home from all the countries where they were scattered. Immigrating to Israel is called “aliyah” which means going up. It was the word used calling Israel to go up to Jerusalem three times a year for the Feasts of Yehovah. Notice the ending is “Yah” which is short for Yehovah. In reality they were going up… to God! So it is for 2,000 Jews making aliyah to Israel this summer. Praise the Lord!

Hundreds of North Americans make aliyah in a week – Over the course of the week (August 20-28), 600 newcomers will make Israel their new home, on 14 group Aliyah flights, offered by Nefesh B’Nefesh. This latest wave of immigrants is part of a larger movement that has seen 2,000 Olim, ranging in age from just 2 months old to 97 years old, embark on their journey to Israel this summer. The new citizens hail from a diverse array of states and provinces across the US and Canada, including Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Ontario.

Despite conflict, scores of Jews move to Israel – Despite the ongoing war and lack of safety, a new wave of Jews from the US and France choose to make aliyah, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to the State of Israel.

Lies and blood libel against Israel and the Jews cannot stop the flow of returning Jews. The world is blind, but Yehovah God is keeping His word! I liken it to salmon returning to their spawning grounds. Something supernatural happens in the Jewish heart. God calls and they must respond. Jeremiah calls it the new covenant written on their hearts. We should pray in agreement with the Holy Spirit unction in every heart. You really should read all of Jeremiah 31, but here are a few verses.

“Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the ends of the earth, Among them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and the one who labors with child, together; a great throng shall return there.” v.8

“Hear the word of Yehovah, O nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him as a shepherd does his flock.’” v.10

“Behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says Yehovah. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yehovah: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”  v.31-33

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for aliyah!
