A Revival in Israel  

In Chapters 43 and 44 of Isaiah’s prophecy, Israel’s future is foretold. “I will gather you from the west; I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’” Then it emphasizes, “You are My witnesses,” says the LORD.”

Those who now put their trust in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, are also ‘chosen’, as Israel was chosen. Jesus said, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you (John 15:16), and “You shall be witnesses to Me” (Acts 1:8). Jews are witnesses to the Lord (Jahveh or Jehovah), and Christians are witnesses to Christ, but both together become a powerful sign of the times.

Jesus described it in this parable, “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near — at the doors!” (Matthew 24:32-33). We see today the fig tree beginning to show the signs of the coming summer of God. God has brought about what He said. Israel is now a well-established nation in its own right, and in its own homeland, deep-rooted and blossoming exactly where God said He would bring them.
