Aliyah - Up to the Land!
Now Think On This

“I will bring them back from those peoples, gather them from those countries and return them to their own land. Then I will let them feed on the mountains of Isra’el, by the streams and in all the livable places of the land. I will have them feed in good pastures; their grazing ground will be on the high mountains of Isra’el.” (Ezekiel 34:13-14, Complete Jewish Bible)

Greetings from the land of the Jews.
For the last three days I have spent much time attending the Aliyah Conference 2018, hosted by GH (purposely used), Founder of Operation Tarshish. This is the third conference (the second was held in Jerusalem in January 2017, the other last October 2017 in West Virginia, USA). Being today is the new annual Aliyah Day in Israel, it was important to have this conference occur during this time, in this month, around this day. In Jerusalem.
In fact, the 80 plus attendees met with the Knesset member in the Knesset government building this afternoon, who was very instrumental in getting this day on the national calendar. We wanted him to especially know that we are also participating, by specifically honoring this national day, alongside them. With our attendance, believers in the Land and Christian Zionists throughout the nations, we gave sincere and committed demonstration of our standing with them. We who are already, and want to even more, assist Jews in returning to their Land - we came now to help them come soon.
Daily we have heard speakers from the Israel government, ministries on the front lines, and those working behind the scenes to accomplish this major heart of the Lord. Christians and Jews working together. Our God’s amazing act, in bringing His people back to the Land, again proves the ongoing fulfillment of an abundance of biblical prophecies. These are occurring right before our eyes. Now more than six million Jews reside in Israel, with their numbers growing by the thousands monthly through aliyah alone (immigration from other countries).
I have recorded several videos that you can view on our YouTube channel from the conference (plus some others of my time here in Jerusalem.) They are part of the "Jerusalem October 2018" video set I have placed there. (Click here: Jerusalem October 2018).
In these end times, this aliyah of the Jews coming back to Israel since its statehood declaration in 1948, after 2000 years of living in the far off nations, is a great miracle in our time. As the prophets spoke through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in ancient times, the Lord God of Israel is keeping His eternal word. The Jews are reclaiming their promised Land.
These words delivered by the prophet Zechariah are just a few of those many spoken and written words coming true today.
7 "Thus says the Lord of hosts:
'Behold, I will save My people from the land of the east
And from the land of the west;
8 I will bring them back,
And they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem.
They shall be My people
And I will be their God,
In truth and righteousness.'
9 "Thus says the Lord of hosts:
'Let your hands be strong,
You who have been hearing in these days
These words by the mouth of the prophets,
Who spoke in the day the foundation was laid
For the house of the Lord of hosts,
That the temple might be built.
10 For before these days
There were no wages for man nor any hire for beast;
There was no peace from the enemy for whoever went out or came in;
For I set all men, everyone, against his neighbor.
11 But now I will not treat the remnant of this people as in the former days,' says the Lord of hosts.
12 'For the seed shall be prosperous,
The vine shall give its fruit,
The ground shall give her increase,
And the heavens shall give their dew —
I will cause the remnant of this people
To possess all these.
13 And it shall come to pass
That just as you were a curse among the nations,
O house of Judah and house of Israel,
So I will save you, and you shall be a blessing.
Do not fear,
Let your hands be strong.'
14 "For thus says the Lord of hosts:
'Just as I determined to punish you
When your fathers provoked Me to wrath,'
Says the Lord of hosts,
'And I would not relent,
15 So again in these days
I am determined to do good
To Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
Do not fear.”
(Zechariah 8:7-15, NKJV)
May your heart for the Jewish people grow stronger while partnering with the living God of Israel, the Lord Yeshua, in the fantastic work He is doing. He is fulfilling His promises!
