ALIYAH (עלייה)!

Aliyah - the return of the Jews back to the Promised Land.

Despite the banishment of the Jews from their own land due to their rebellious nature - stiff necked & hard hearted, the Bible says (sounds like u & me, huh?). God, in His faithfulness & mercy, promised that He would bring them back & restore them back to their own land. Yes, back to the land of Israel.

The Bible is FILLED with the promises of ALIYAH. Below are some examples:

"Therefore behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when it will no longer be said, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,' but, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from he land of the north and from all the countries where He had banished them.' For I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers. (Jeremiah 16:14-15)

"For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land." (Ezekiel 36:24)

"Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' And to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth. (Isaiah 43:5-6)

During the first Diaspora, the Jews were only banished to a single nation - Babylon. And only for 70 years as prophesied by prophet Jeremiah. And it was so.

But the Scriptures above talk about Aliyah from North, South, East, West & Nationsssssss. Some Aliyah facts after 1948 - after the rebirth of the nation of Israel:

From the NORTH: after the collapse of USSR, more than ONE MILLION Jews migrated back to Israel. Before that, the Communist country was against Aliyah. Talk about God saying: 'Give them up!' thru prophet Isaiah!!!


From the SOUTH: in Operation Solomon, the Israeli government used 34 aircrafts to Aliyah back 14,325 Ethiopian Jews in just 36 hrs.

From the WEST: more than 2 millions Jews have made Aliyah. And the trend is increasing as antisemitism is increasing once more in the Western nations.

From the EAST: half a million have made it home!

God is calling His sons & daughters home and millions are responding. We are LIVING witnesses to the fulfillment of Bible prophecies thousands of years old! Isn't that AMAZING?!

"Then the nations that are left round about you will know that I, the LORD, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted that which was desolate; I, the LORD, have spoken and will do it."

"... like the flock at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so will the waste cities be filled with flocks of men. Then they will know that I am the LORD." (Ezekiel 36:36,38)
