I often wondered why Jewish people from around the globe would all want to return to Eretz Yisrael. After all, much of our people have undergone a great secularization and/or assimilation into the societies and countries in which they immigrated. Many of us were born outside of Israel and can only slightly relate to the Land.

Lately, I have been forced to revise my view about the return of all Jews to Israel and thus the importance of keeping Israel a Jewish State as well as the only democracy in the middle east.

Some countries of Europe are currently making it very difficult for Jewish people to live peacefully. Islam continues to infiltrate every level of our modern Western civilization: Government, Education, Religion all at local, national and global levels.

Our postmodern world invites a dialogue of detente and tolerance with all, a politically correct dialogue of peace.

To be sure, not all Muslims are terrorists just like not all Germans were Nazis. Nevertheless, the systematic brainwashing of Muslims vis-a vis Israel and the Jewish people can only lead to a greater desire to eradicate all Jews from the planet.

Local governments often do their parts to help in the ostracizing of our people, all of course in the name of multiculturalism and tolerance.

A recent article in the Jerusalem Post militates towards that end (click here for article)

How soon before all Jews are back in Israel? God only knows!

What I know is that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob promised the world that He would never destroy Israel (Jeremiah 31:35-37)

35 Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for light by day, And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; The LORD of hosts is His name:

36 “ If this fixed order departs From before Me,” declares the LORD, “Then the offspring of Israel also shall cease From being a nation before Me forever.”

37 Thus says the LORD, “ If the heavens above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out below, Then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel For all that they have done,” declares the LORD.

I also know that God doesn’t want for anyone to perish but the Bible is clear that all (and He includes Muslim, Jews and everybody else) must put their trust in the death and resurrection of Yeshua of Nazareth (Jesus) for their sins. This decision to trust Yeshua is the only way for anyone to secure an eternity in God’s presence. The alternative is too HOT to handle!
