The Bible declares that God determined to keep His chosen people separated to Himself (Exodus:33:16For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
See All... [1]; Leviticus:20:26And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
See All... [2]; etc.) because He would bring them back into their land in the last days (Jeremiah:30:10Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
See All... [3]; 31:8-12; Ezekiel:36:24For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
See All... [4], 35-38; etc.) prior to Messiah’s second coming. That prophecy and promise, so long awaited, was fulfilled in the rebirth of Israel [5] in her Promised Land in 1948, nearly 1900 years after the final diaspora at the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD by the Roman armies of Titus. This restoration of a nation after 25 centuries is utterly astonishing, a phenomenon without parallel in the history of any other peoples and inexplicable by any natural means, much less by chance”
