Why Was Israel Reborn?

The Rebirth of Israel

Ezekiel 37:21 I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.

Ben Gurion pronounces the Declaration of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948 in Tel Aviv.   Israeli soldiers stand at the western wall in Jerusalem after it is recaptured in 1967.         History On May 14,1948, the Jewish people proclaimed the independence of Israel and the end of their worldwide captivity at the precise time prophesied by the prophet Ezekiel. In Isaiah 66:7-8, the prophet foreshadowed the re-birth of Israel in 1948. Isaiah describes a woman giving birth before going into labor, and he speaks of a country being born in one day. This accurately describes what happened on May 14, 1948 when the Jews declared independence for Israel as a united and sovereign nation for the first time in 2900 years. During that same day, the United States issued a statement recognizing Israel's sovereignty. And, only hours beforehand, a United Nations mandate expired, ending British control of the land. During a 24-hour span of time, foreign control of the land of Israel had formally ceased, and Israel had declared its independence, and its independence was acknowledged by other nations. Modern Israel was literally born in a single day and to the exact day if you want to read the calculations Isaiah 66:8 Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree (Israel); When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh: So likewise, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Jeremiah 31:10 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. Ezekiel 37:21 I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land. The Regathering of Jews to Israel Isaiah 43:5-6, the prophet said that the people of Israel would return to their homeland from the east, the west, the north and the south. Isaiah lived 2700 years ago. Beginning at that time, a succession of empires conquered the land of Israel and forced many into exile. This led to a worldwide scattering of Jews. But, during the past century, millions have returned to Israel. Isaiah 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
