Does Bible Prophecy Point to the Modern State of Israel? — Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY

Some Evangelical Protestants believe that the modern State of Israel thus fulfilled a Bible prophecy. For example, in the book Jerusalem Countdown, clergyman John Hagee states: “This momentous occasion had been recorded by the pen of the prophet Isaiah, saying, ‘A nation shall be born in a day.’ (See Isaiah 66:8.) . . . It was the greatest moment in prophetic history of the twentieth century. It was living evidence for all men to see that the God of Israel was alive and well.”

Is that statement true? Did Isaiah 66:8 predict the establishment of the modern State of Israel? Was May 14, 1948, the “greatest moment in prophetic history of the twentieth century”? If the modern State of Israel is still God’s chosen nation, and if he is using it to fulfill Bible prophecies, this would certainly be of interest to Bible students everywhere.

Scripturally, the day was the Day of Pentecost when the Church was born:

Acts 2
1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.

The Church is a holy nation:
1 Peter 2
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

The modern State of Israel was recognized as a nation in 1948 by that God-less organization known as the United Nations, which was established to bring about world government.

The British government promised Palestine to Lord Balfour (Rothschild), in exchange for getting the United States into WWI. Otherwise the Germans would have defeated the British.

Why do we refer to Old Testament prophecies which foretold Israel returning from captivity in Babylon, and then cast them over 2,000 years into the future?

Why would anyone assume the valley of dry bones prophecy is not about the future resurrection of the dead found in John 5:27-30?

Why would anyone believe modern Dispensational Theology which claims Jews will one day come to salvation outside of the New Covenant Church foretold in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 12:18-24, and 2 Corinthians 3:6-8?

If the modern State of Israel is still God’s chosen nation, and if he is using it to fulfill Bible prophecies, this would certainly be of interest to Bible students everywhere.

At least students of prophecy, yes. And yes, the verse in Isaiah very much appears to be a prefiguring of Israel's rebirth as a nation:

7 Before she went into labor, she gave birth. Before birth pangs came to her, she delivered a male child.
8 Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Will a land be brought to birth in one day? Or will a nation be born all at once? Yet, as soon as Zion went into labor, she gave birth to her sons.
9 “Will I bring it to the point of birth and then not bring it forth?” says Jehovah. “Or would I cause the birth and then shut the womb?” says your God.
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem and be joyful with her, all you who love her. Exult greatly with her, all you who are in mourning over her.
11 For you will nurse and be fully satisfied from her breast of consolation, and you will drink deeply and find delight in the abundance of her glory.

The birth pangs referred to in verses 7 and again in verse 8 speak of tremendous persecution against Israel. The Christ child was born during a time when she was not experiencing any birth pains (30 A.D.), but the Jewish people most certainly experienced great birth pains as a people during the Holocaust. As a result of these birth pains, they were given their nation back by the UN. Was the UN a wicked organization? Irrelevant. God saw fit to reestablish the nation of Israel once again in the earth, in fulfillment of the prophecy, in "one day," just as the prophecy foretold.

Interestingly, both Israel and the church will undergo birth pangs once again to bring forth the Son in His fullest and truest manifestation during the end-times, though that's another study that delves fairly deeply into a study of end-time events.

In no way was Isaiah 66:7-9 fulfilled with the establishment of the Jewish State of Israel. That took 50 years, from the Zionist conference in 1898, promoted by T. Hertzel, until the declaration by ben Gurion, in May 1948. And there were plenty of birth pangs!
But by just reading on in Isaiah 66:8-14, we can see that none of what is prophesied to happen after that birth, has occurred. We await the Lord to make His power known to His servants and His indignation to His enemies.
The only prophecy that the current Israel fulfilled was the budding of the fig tree, which indicates to us that the end is near. Matthew 24:32-33

The actual fulfilment of Isaiah's prophecy will be when the new Christian nation of Beulah will be established in all of the holy Land. Isaiah 62:1-5, Romans 9:24-27

Talk of formation and formation itself are two different things, are they not?

Ok, completely unfamiliar with this teaching, so I'll give you a shot. This nation you speak of, you appear to be saying it will be formed before Christ's return, correct?

The Star of David will be on the Israeli flag. Isaiah 11:10

Isa 11:10  And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

Isaiah 11:10 is a reference to the Lord Jesus Christ. Not a flag.

Rom_15:12  And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.


 

Act_7:43  Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

The prophecy says: without birth pangs. This was not the case with the State of Israel. The day it was declared was after 50 years of diplomatic and literal fighting for it.
Ok, completely unfamiliar with this teaching, so I'll give you a shot. This nation you speak of, you appear to be saying it will be formed before Christ's return, correct?
I'm not surprised that you haven't heard the many prophesies about how we Christians will go to inhabit all of the holy Land. Preachers avoid all prophecy and the mistake people make when reading them, is to assume it all [mostly, anyway] belongs to ethnic Israel.
New Testament teaching is all about the truth that ethnicity has nothing to do with salvation. The people of God are from every race, nation, and language, bought by the Blood of Jesus.

Isaiah 49:8-13 The Lord says: At the time of My favour, I will answer you, on the Day of Deliverance I will come to your aid. Your destiny is to be a light to the nations and you will restore the Land. Those in exile will go free, they will find a good Land to live in. My people will neither hunger or thirst, the sun will not distress them. I will guide them along level pathways, My people - coming from the North, the West and the South lands. Shout for joy, sing songs of triumph, for the Lord has comforted His people and has pity on them, in their distress.

Hosea 2:14-23 Now, I shall call My people and lead them into an empty place. I will encourage and strengthen them, there the Land will be restored, its vineyards and pastures. They will respond with thanksgiving and joy, calling Me "Husband", as I will betroth Myself to them forever. I will tame the wild beasts and sweep all weapons of war off the face of the earth, so My people can live without fear. The Land will be productive and My righteous people will be My new sowing in My Holy Land. I will say: "You are My people". They will say: "You are our God". Romans 9:24-26

Isaiah 12:1-4 On that Day, we will praise You, though You were angry with us, now You comfort us. We are confident and unafraid. The Lord is our Deliverer, our refuge and defense. With joy, we will give thanks to Him for what He had done for us.

Zephaniah 3:19-20 When that time comes I shall deal with all those who oppress you. I shall rescue the lost and gather the dispersed, I shall win for My people renown from all the world. The great Exodus out of the nations and into all of the holy Land, of all true Christian believers. Psalms 107, Isaiah 35:1-10, Ezekiel 34:11-31

But first, the holy Land must be cleared and cleansed:

Isaiah 30:26-28 The sun will shine seven times stronger, like seven days in one, on the Day the Lord saves His people. He comes from afar, His anger blazing and His doom heavy. Like a devouring fire, He sieves out the nations for destruction.

Isaiah 66:16 The Lord will judge with fire, His sword will test all mankind, many will die.

Habakkuk 3:13-14 You go out to save Your people, You shatter the wicked, they are swept away.

Some can be made to fit, but most not properly. The final fulfilment of all these prophesies, plus many more, will happen soon after the terrible Day of the Lord's wrath, that will clear the holy Land, Deuteronomy 32:34-43 and enable the Lord's righteous Christian people to travel to there and live in ALL of the holy Land in peace an prosperity. Ezekiel 36:8-38, Jeremiah 31:1-40, +

Except the Jews, righteous Jews , have for centuries not become "christian" because christendom itself was so far away from TORAH (SCRIPTURE), and the Jews saw this clearly.
Only Christians who God Pleases to travel to Israel will,
while He Himself Organized Events worldwide all along so that all the Jews He Appointed to return all in line with all of HIS WORD did and will.

Okay. What is your take on the below.

This is what I call a verse dump. It's a whole lot of verses to deal with, and it usually stands uncontested due to the fact that no one has the patience to explain every single point. I don't have the patience, either, but I'll start with something and hope you fail to read to the end so you'll never know that I did not cover everything.

Israel will be reestablished as a nation. Isaiah 11:11
Fair enough, if you can accept that God's people are those who pointedly reject the Son of God. I reject that idea flatly.

British ships will be the first to bring the Jewish people home. Isaiah 60:9
That verse says nothing about the British. Tarshish was many miles away from Britain.

Israel will come back as one nation, not two. Hosea 1:11; Ezekiel 37:18,19,22
The modern nation of Israel is not the union of the ancient nation of Israel with the ancient nation of Judah. It is only the descendants of the nation of Judah borrowing (or stealing) the name of ancient Israel (of the two kingdoms). The descendants of ancient Israel from the time of the two kingdoms are not included in this nation at all. Therefore, the prophecy is unfulfilled as you describe it.

Israel will be reestablished by a leader named David. Hosea 3:5
Not a leader. A king. Not just any king, but King David. The modern nation of Israel has no king. Therefore the prophecy is not fulfilled by this interpretation.

The revived state will be named Israel. Ezekiel 37:11
If I call the Kingdom of Heaven, the followers of Christ, the people of Israel, then I accomplish just as much.

The Star of David will be on the Israeli flag. Isaiah 11:10
That verse says nothing about the star of David. It refers to the root of Jesse, which, to all good Christians is Jesus Christ.

The nation will be reestablished in the ancient land of Canaan. Jeramiah 30:2,3; Ezekiel 37:12
The first verse refers to Israel and Judah. Only Judah has returned, and not as God's people. If sequence matters, they must be God's people first, and then return. The second verse refers to a resurrection, which has not happened. You might take this as symbolism, but I might just as easily take it literally.

Israel will no longer speak of being freed from Egypt. Jeramiah 16:14,15
Specifically, it will be known as the people brought back out of the north country. I'd be willing to bet that you don't consider Europe to be the north country, nor could you easily define what the north country is. Israel, as opposed to Judah, was conquered by the Assyrians and exiled to the north. This excludes the people of Judah, which, as I mentioned before, are the sole inheritors of the modern nation of Israel.

Israel will not be restored as a monarchy. Micah 5:5
The verse you cite says nothing about Israel not being a monarchy. In fact, if you read it in context, starting from at least verse two, you'll see that the entire passage says exactly the opposite. It describes the reign of the coming messiah. You'll note that the messiah is Christ, and he reigns over us, and not them.

Israel will be established on the date predicted. Daniel 4; Ezekiel 4:4-6
The first passage says nothing about the date of the modern nation of Israel's establishment. The second one also does not, but it does, at least, predict the beginning of Israel's and Judah's exiles. Israel was exiled first, and Judah was exiled a little while after that. Until then, God put up with them.

The Hebrew language will be revived in Israel. Jeramiah 31:23
That verse has nothing to do with Hebrew or any other language. Calling it that isn't honest. Just read the verse, for crying out loud. It says that, "they shall use these words," and it follows that the words that they shall use are, "The Lord bless you, O habitation of righteousness, O holy hill!" (depending on the translation).


Jerusalem will be divided. Zechariah 14:1-3
What it says, is, "The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity...." Before the Jews returned to Israel, it belonged to the people that we know as the Palestinians. The city was taken by the Jews of Israel. Did they ravish the women? Did they rob the houses? Did they take half of its citizens as prisoners? The following verses talk about the Lord going forth and fighting against the invaders. Is God going to fight against the Jewish invaders? Bad, bad interpretation going on, here.

Well, anyway, I'm done, here. A batter gets three chances at bat before striking-out. I let you have four times that. If anyone cares to meet all of the other points, they're welcome to take up that burden.

If the modern State of Israel is still God’s chosen nation, and if he is using it to fulfill Bible prophecies, this would certainly be of interest to Bible students everywhere.
The importance of the modern state of Israel, as related to how I see prophecy, is that it signifies the end of the times of the Gentiles according to Luke 21:24. For centuries after the fall of Jerusalem it was under Gentile control, but no longer.

The times of the Gentiles is different from the fullness of the Gentiles. I equate the preaching of the gospel worldwide, the sowing of the seed, to the times of the Gentiles and the reaping of believers that is described in Revelation 14:14-16 and Mark 4:28-29 as the time when the fullness of the Gentiles is reached which occurs at Christ's return.

The significance of the gospel having been preached worldwide and the end of the times of the Gentiles is that God's plan to give dominion over earth to the worthy Lamb who overcame the world has begun. This plan is revealed in the opening of the seven seals.

Jesus Foretells Destruction of Jerusalem

Luk 21:20  "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. 
Luk 21:21  Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. 
Luk 21:22  For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 
Luk 21:23  But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. 
Luk 21:24  And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. 

Look what happens in the verse after Luke 21:24.


The Coming of the Son of Man

Luk 21:25  "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 
Luk 21:26  men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 
Luk 21:27  Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 
Luk 21:28  Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." 

(subtitles from eSword)

Who controls the modern city of Jerusalem?

Rev 2:9  "I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 

Rev 3:9  Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 



Rom 2:28  For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; 
Rom 2:29  but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God. 


The original word "Gentile" refers to unbelievers.

1Jn 2:22  Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 
1Jn 2:23  Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 


Based on the words of the New Testament, the modern city of Jerusalem is still in "Gentile" hands.

1Jn 2:22  Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 
1Jn 2:23  Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 


Based on the words of the New Testament, the modern city of Jerusalem is still in "Gentile" hands.
Most things in scripture will have a natural as well as a spiritual aspect to them. The same is true with Israel and the Gentiles (nations). God called the children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage to inherit the promised land and become a nation of priests. Exodus 19:6 Because of the weakness of the flesh, they failed on both counts so God sent His Son to bring the new covenant, the spiritual aspect of being led out of the bondage of sin to inherit the promise of eternal life and to become a spiritual nation of priests. Just because the focus of the new covenant is the spiritual kingdom of God doesn't mean that the natural children of Israel are no longer of any consequence prophetically speaking.

Romans 11:25-29

When the fullness of the Gentiles has come in at the return of Christ, then natural Israel will be delivered from their oppressors. They will occupy the land that God promised them and will serve as a nation of priests during the reign of Christ as verse 29 states. We know this is a reference to natural Israel and not spiritual Israel because of verse 28. This is the restoration of all things at the return of Christ: dominion over the earth restored to the last Adam, natural Israel restored to their land and calling.

Acts 3:21 Acts 15:16 Acts 1:6

When the fullness of the Gentiles has come in at the return of Christ, then natural Israel will be delivered from their oppressors. They will occupy the land that God promised them and will serve as a nation of priests during the reign of Christ as verse 29 states. We know this is a reference to natural Israel and not spiritual Israel because of verse 28. This is the restoration of all things at the return of Christ: dominion over the earth restored to the last Adam, natural Israel restored to their land and calling.

You have changed the word "so" (Greek "houto"), which is an adverb of manner, into the word "then", which is an adverb of timing in Romans 11:26.

(CJB)  and that it is in this way that all Isra'el will be saved. As the Tanakh says, "Out of Tziyon will come the Redeemer; he will turn away ungodliness from Ya`akov

(ESV)  And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob";

(Geneva)  And so all Israel shalbe saued, as it is written, The deliuerer shall come out of Sion, and shall turne away the vngodlinesse from Iacob.

(GW)  In this way Israel as a whole will be saved, as Scripture says, "The Savior will come from Zion. He will remove godlessness from Jacob.

(LITV-TSP)  and so all Israel will be saved, even as it has been written, "The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

(KJV)  And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

(KJV+)  AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be saved:G4982 asG2531 it is written,G1125 There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 SionG4622 theG3588 Deliverer,G4506 andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 Jacob:G2384


(NKJV)  And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "THE DELIVERER WILL COME OUT OF ZION, AND HE WILL TURN AWAY UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB;

(YLT)  and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath been written, 'There shall come forth out of Sion he who is delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob,



Changing one word is a corruption of the text.

Paul makes it clear in Romans 11 that the branches broken off of the Olive Tree can be grafted back in, through faith in Christ. This is the "manner" of their salvation.

The Olive Tree is a symbol of the New Covenant Church made up of Israelites (Romans 11:1) and Gentiles grafted together into one tree.

There is no Plan B of salvation outside of the New Covenant Church.

The covenant in Romans 11:27 is the covenant fulfilled for all races of people at Calvary, which is the "everlasting" covenant found in Hebrews 13:20.

This New Covenant was promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and is found fulfilled by Christ in Hebrews 8:6-13, and is specifically applied to the Church in Hebrews 12:18-24, and 2 Corinthians 3:6-8.

Based on Matthew 3:9, Romans 9:8, Galatians 3:16, 29, and 1 Timothy 1:4, the New Covenant is about Grace, instead of Race.

I never suggested a plan B of salvation.
