A Small Sapling, A Big Miracle ✡ "A Vine Out of Mitzrayim" - ISRAEL365

Thou didst pluck up a vine out of Mitzrayim; Thou didst drive out the nations, and didst plant it. Psalms 80:9 (The Israel Bible™) גֶּפֶן מִמִּצְרַיִם תַּסִּיעַ תְּגָרֵשׁ גּוֹיִם וַתִּטָּעֶהָ תהלים פ:ט GE-fen mi-mitz-RA-yim ta-SEE-a t’-ga-RAYSH go-YIM va-ti-ta-E-ha

Today's Israel Inspiration Asaph uses a refrain in this psalm which asks God to shine His infinite, glorious light upon his downtrodden people. He dreams of the return of the Lord to the people in a miraculous and overt manner. Just like God took the vine, representing the entire nation of Israel, out of Egypt and re-planted it in Canaan, so too should they receive God’s immediate deliverance in a complete and absolute fashion. Today, the Land of Israel is brimming with God's people and with the incredible efforts of Israel's pioneers and agriculturists, the vines of Egypt are growing with each passing week. But it's just not enough. Please consider planting a tree to truly help Israel flourish and restore the beauty of the Jewish homeland. Plant a tree in Israel today » A Tour of Israel's Biblical Trees There are many very old trees in the Holy Land. We look at an olive, an oak, a cypress, and a carob, all of which have stories to tell about history and cultural traditions in Israel.

In the days when the Second Temple stood, a special religious ceremony would take place at this very spot.
