We believe together that we will have the insight to see the simplicity of what God is doing today in Israel. As He has spoken, He is gathering all Israel and making them one nation in their land. In the process He will glorify Himself, not only before Israel, but before all the nations. So let us not be caught up in the confusion that the world is under but rather focus on and declare the fulfillment of God’s Word.

Many people in the world are observing and reacting to what is happening in Israel. It can be confusing if you focus on the news reports and all the issues surrounding them. But there is a clarity and simplicity to what God is doing and has been doing in Israel, especially since the State of Israel was formed. God is gathering the sons of Israel from among all the nations where they have been scattered, and He is making them one nation in the land He gave them.

So the nations of the world need to be careful. God is the One who is settling the Jewish people in Israel. And if the nations are fighting that, then they are fighting God. If you are confused by what is happening in Israel, understand that satan is not. The source of the anti-Semitism and accusations against the Jewish people is not confusing at all. It is from satan, the accuser of the brethren, who accuses them day and night before God because he knows his time is short.

As we watch God fulfill His promise to bring the sons of Israel together and make them one nation, we know He will also fulfill His promise to sanctify them. With that He will show Himself to be God before the nations because they will know that He is the Lord who sanctifies Israel. The message could not be clearer, and we as believers need to be aligned with God’s Word and not with the confusion that satan is bringing. We need to be believing, holding, and proclaiming God’s Word over Israel. That is the truth and that is what will happen.

Key Verses:

• Ezekiel 37:21–28. “The nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel.”
• Jeremiah 32:41. “I will … faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart.”
• Ezekiel 20:42–44. “I have dealt with you for My name’s sake.”
• Revelation 12:10–13. “He persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.”
• Ezekiel 20:40–42. “You will know that I am the LORD, when I bring you into the land of Israel.”

Quotes:

• “How do we deal with the struggles and the war that’s taking place right now? It’s dealt with by coming back to the Scriptures and finding a clarity about what it is that God is doing, and then beginning to have ourselves move with Him.”
• “God is not just doing something stand-alone with Israel and the Jewish people. What He’s doing with them is also going to show who He is to all the nations, that the nations may know God in the way that Israel will know God and does know Him.”
• “How are all these things going to end up? Well, they’re going to end up in a covenant of peace that only God can bring forth.”

Takeaways:

1. What is happening in Israel is not confusing. It is simple. God is settling the Jewish people in Israel. He is sanctifying them and making them the nation that He promised they would be. In that process He is showing Himself to be God to the nations.
2. If you are fighting that, then you are fighting God; you are coming against what God is doing. The accusations against Israel are coming from satan, who understands exactly what God is doing, knows it means his end, and he is raging against it.
3. The nations will be called to account for the way they have treated Israel and for the way they have either been for or against God’s plan; either they helped or hindered the process of God bringing His Kingdom.
