The RE-gathering of Israel

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
                                         -Genesis 1:14
 
The Hebrew word for “signs” is ʾôwth. It means: a signal (lit.) or (fig.), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.:—mark, miracle, (en-) sign, token. -Strong’s
  The definition of ‘owth’ teaches that the ‘signs’ of Genesis 1:14 possess a miraculous element*. In practice, God adds the natural principles of ‘timing’ and ‘interdependence’ to further highlight and thus demonstrate the miraculous element of  His ‘signs’ to us! On the other hand, however, and tragically, the ‘unbeliever’ often ‘chooses’ to attribute God’s miraculous ‘signs’ to chance or luck. 
  In addition, the first time the word signs”** is inspired in the Bible is the context of Genesis 1:14, which also includes three natural events: ‘seasons’, ‘days’, and ‘years’. Because God includes ‘signs’ in the context of these three events, He teaches us that His signs are also designed to be both natural and common. In other words, as ‘seasons’ are common, occurring several times each year, and ‘days’ and ‘years’ are even more common than ‘seasons’, so too Genesis 1:14 teaches that ‘signs’ were God designed to occur naturally and common.
  What’s more, Psalms 19:1-3 teaches that the creation is designed to SHOUT the glory of God. So, Genesis 1:14 and Psalms 19:1-4 were both inspired to teach us that signs are miraculous, natural, common, interdependent, timely…and they SHOUT the glory of God!
  So, God gives ‘signs’ to literally make Himself so obvious that humans are without excuse (Rom1:20)!!
  Likewise, the nation of Israel is also a sign! Why? In 1948, Israel was born in one day(Is66:8). In other words, from 586BC to 1948 is the period of time in Luke 21:24 called the Times of the Gentiles---which is the time many Gentile nations ruled over Israel! Incredibly, if you're counting, that period was 2,534 years!!!
  And what’s more, from 70AD, when the temple was destroyed, until 135AD, when Bar Kochba, the false Messiah, was defeated by the Romans…all the way until 1948, Israel did not even exist among the nations of the world! Incredibly, the time from 135AD to 1948 is 1,813 years!! I repeat—during those 1,813 years, the name of Israel did not exist among the nations!!
 Therefore, what is an incredible miracle in world history, in God’s Sovereignty and Providence, He reached down from heaven, and after thousands of years, re-birthed the nation of Israel. There is no other nation in the world, and in the history of the world, that can make this boast—Israel is unique! God made Israel a sign to history, and to the contemporary world in which we now live---that His calling on the nation of Israel is irrefutable! I repeat, the very existence of contemporary Israel…is a sign from God to the world!
  Now let’s verify Israel’s unique re-gathering from Scripture:
Isaiah 11:11-12: “Then it will happen on that day that the Lord Will again recover the second time with His hand the remnant of His people, who will remain, from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12. And He will lift a standard for the nations, and assemble the banished ones of Israel, and will gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
  Notice that God will “again recover the second time”. The first time happened when God brought Israel back from Egypt under Moses. However, in Isaiah 11:11-12, Israel’s remnant will return from many nations; therefore, this cannot refer to God bringing His people back to Israel from Persia under Cyrus, after 70 years in Babylon in 516BC, because that return was from only one nation. Incredibly, Isaiah 11:11-12 refers to Israel’s return in 1948!
  Incredibly, Isaiah accurately prophesied the 1948 regathering in 700 BC, a full 2,700 years before it came to pass! Glory to God!!!
  What about Isaiah 43:5-7?
5.“Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west.
6.“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,
7.Everyone who is called by My name, And whom I have created for My glory, Whom I have formed, even whom I have made.”
  Or, What about Deuteronomy 30:1-10? Verses 3-4 get right to the point:
3. THEN the Lord your God will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.
4.“If your outcasts are at the ends of the earth, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you back.
  Or, What about Ezekiel 11:17-20?
17.“Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.” ’
18.“When they come there, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations from it.
19.“And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them. And I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh,
20.that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them. Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God.”
 
  Notice in this passage that God will:
1.“assemble you out of the countries.”
2.“among which you have been scattered”.
3.“I will give them the land of Israel.”
4.“I will give them one heart and a new spirit.”
5.“Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God.”
 
  There are many more! But this passage from Ezekiel 11:17-20 also states that Israel will be given a new heart…'AFTER' coming into the land. In other words, the Jews return to the land of Israel---as unbelievers!!
 
  God’s prophecy is amazing!
  God’s love for Israel is amazing!
 
The return of Israel to the land in 1948 is the GREATEST miracle of our time!
