Israel is a nation raised from the dead. This great prophecy from Amos 9 applies to today’s restoration of Israel. Millions of Jews have returned, from nearly every nation on earth, as a stirring testimony to the faithfulness of Yehovah God. Every word He has spoken will be fulfilled. What a joy and privilege to live in this great day.
“I will firmly plant them there in their own land. They will never again be uprooted from the land I have given them,” says Yehovah your God.” Amos 9:15 NLT
- Yehovah is the One who is doing it.
- They are back in their own land, ancient Israel, not any other location.
- It is permanent, never to be removed again from their land.
This is not new to us. We have witnessed it with our own eyes for over seventy years. Israel was in Egypt for over 400 years, Babylon for over 70, and the dispersion to all countries for over 1,800 years! The Bible revealed each of those sojourns, but no more! No more will they ever be uprooted from the Land Yehovah gave them. Hallelujah!
No matter how hard the nations rage and try to block Him, Yehovah wins. They will fail. All the demons of hell, the fallen angels and the devil himself will utterly fail. It might be a good time to step back and remember the immutable, unchangeable promises of God. When you are tempted to slump down under the many pressures of life. Remember what God has done. Remember what He is doing now. And remember His promised victory yet to come. Remember also to guard your faith.
“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:12
I was blessed by Pastor John Thrift’s word Sunday morning at Grace Assembly. He reminded us of the cause of many Christians who grow cold, allowing the fire of their faith to go out. The great time of lawlessness in the earth is now upon us. If we focus on the abominations and rebellion around us, we risk the cold heart of unbelief. This is the time to look up to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. He is seated at the right hand of Yehovah God in Heaven; and He is right on time; and He is in control of our eternal destiny if we allow Him. As the wise virgins, we must keep our lamps trimmed and filled with the oil of the Holy Spirit.
“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:11:14
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for and give thanks for the seasonal rains of restoration!

Never Again Uprooted

When is never again? A key to prophecy is to notice the timing words. Some promises are given a certain time for fulfillment. I often refer to Psalm 102 as the Holocaust Psalm because it so graphically describes the actual historic Holocaust of the 1940’s. Verse 13 in that Psalm then firmly states that “Now is the time to favor Zion.” We then see it exactly fulfilled with Israel restored as a nation right after the Holocaust. The photo of Israeli grapes is proof of the accuracy of the Bible. So, here is another prophecy with specific timing.
After nearly 2,000 years of exile and wandering among the nations, God has regathered His people to their own land of Israel. This is an historical miracle. No other nation can claim such. There is no other historic exile and regathering. There is only one. This is the one Amos prophesied. Notice the precise steps fulfilled.
What part of “never again” don’t you get? All the nations may oppose. All the demons of hell will fight against it. But, you can take Yehovah God’s word to the bank. They will never again be uprooted. We had better stake our beliefs on God’s word than believe fears and threats from the enemy. There is a certain time in history when God regathers His exiled people and we are living in that fulfillment.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Pray for God’s favor, protection and blessing in the present attacks on Israel. Pray for wisdom for the leaders of Israel. Pray that America will stand with Israel.
