The Glory Returns!

Rarely does a day pass in which the state of Israel is not mentioned early on in the news media’s reporting of current events, which is quite remarkable, given the unimpressive land-mass and “junior-size” population of a country the size of the State of New Jersey and home to only ten million people. 

And rarely does a day pass without any report, even the regularly understated ones, of an incident of violence against Jewish people as an expression of anti-Semitism somewhere in the world.

One can’t help but have the distinct feeling that the future holds some kind of major eruption involving that little country and that small group of people—less than seven million Jews in Israel and a total of only slightly over fifteen million Jews worldwide.

And that feeling is entirely consistent with the Old Testament prophecies regarding Israel and the Jewish people, including a remarkably dramatic depiction of the ultimate outcome of movements appearing center-stage right now, as reported in today’s news.

It is important to note that the Old Testament prophets never “hedged” on their statement of what God is going to do with, and for, Israel.  Bible-believing people still embrace the statement—trite, but true—“God said it; I believe it; that settles it!”

And one of the prophets even answered to a name which, every time it was spoken, was a reminder of the certainty of his prophecies:  Zechariah, meaning in Hebrew, “God remembers.”

So let’s look into what Zechariah declares as the future of Israel and the Jewish people in this fourth installment of the series, “God Remembers!,” an episode we call “The Glory Returns!”
