The re-establishment of Israel in the Land promised to their Patriarchs is one of the most important events to be expected in these End Times. Visible to the eyes of the whole world, it fully confirms the Prophets of Israel as true prophets. “Replacement Theology” is clearly mistaken when it asserts that all the prophesied blessings to Israel have passed to the Christian Church. Israel’s inheritance in the Promised Land was never made as a spiritual promise to the patriarch Jacob. No heavenly Canaan was promised to the children of Israel—rather a Land of Promise on Earth. As promised to Jacob: “…the land whereon thouliest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed In thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.” (Genesis 28:13,14)

Today, God has already regathered Israel to a portion of the Land which He promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God, through the Prophet Jeremiah, said that after He would plant them in the Land with His “whole heart,” He would then make an “everlasting covenant” with them.

“And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.” (Jeremiah 32:40,41)

Despite all the current compromising of Israel’s Land rights, the Prophet Amos affirms that Israel would be planted again—never to be pulled up:

“And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards and gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.” (Amos 9:14,15)

Dramatically, the Prophet Ezekiel (Chapter 37) was brought in vision to a “valley” to prophesy the regathering and rebirth of Israel. Ezekiel’s “Valley of Dry Bones” was a depiction of a nation that was virtually dead and scattered. After he prophesied— in amazement he saw the bones come together! Then “flesh” came upon the bones and eventually God’s Spirit (vs. 14) was to be breathed into them. That vision was an illustration of the promised gradual resurrection of the nation of Israel!

“Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.” (Ezekiel 37:11, 12)

The Prophet Ezekiel’s Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones

Today in fulfillment of that prophecy Israel is being resurrected—bone by bone, sinew by sinew, flesh upon flesh. Finally, the Spirit will be breathed into Israel.
