It's ALL about ISRAEL

This . . .
Israel is 280 miles long and 70 miles wide.
The land has forests, green valleys, deserts,
fertile farm land, and a mountain range.
.
The Dead Sea is the lowest place on earth.
The Jordan river, where Jesus and many
others were baptized, flows into the Dead Sea.
There is no life in the Dead Sea.
.
About 6 million Jews were killed in the holocaust.
About 6 million Jews live in Israel.
About 6 million Jews live in the USA.
There are about 17 million Jews worldwide
.
That . . .
586 BC

The kingdom of Israel conquered by the Babylonians.
538 - 333 BC
Exiled Jews return to land and build 2nd Temple.
0 - 70 AD
Life, death and resurection of Jesus.

Apostles, Pentecost, early church.

May 14, 1948

After almost 2,000 years,
State of Israel becomes a nation again.
1967
Arab armies threaten to annialate Israel.
Against impossible odds,

Israel is victorious in six day war.
Israel occupies Sinai desert, the Gaza Strip,
the Golan Heights and the West Bank.
Jews return to Judea and Samaria which was
part of Biblical Israel.
.
This is That . . .

Romans 11
God has not forgotten the Jews or the land of Israel

It's all about Israel and the Jews.
The Jews have had and have a blindness to who Jesus is.

.
Gentile believers have been carrying the spread of the Gospel,
but the Jews are still God's primary chosen people.
Jews and non-Jewish believers in Yashewa will eventually come into unity.
At the return of Jesus, all living Jews will be saved.
All the nations will gather to Israel to war against
Jesus, Israel and raptured believers.
Jesus wins.
The earth is cleansed from sin as
Jesus rules the world from Jerusalem.
.
"What in the world is going on?"
God is after his people.
