The rebirth of the State of Israel on 14 May 1948, and its continued existence is an amazing fulfilment of predictions in the Bible written 2,500 years ago. God said of Israel “I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land.” (Ezekiel 36:24) The return of Jewish people to their biblical homeland of Israel is also a sign that Jesus Christ will return to the earth to establish God’s kingdom. In Luke 21:24-27 Jesus says that when Jerusalem is in Jewish control again he will be about to return and give eternal life to his true followers.
