Exodus II

One of the seven feasts celebrated by the Jewish people each year is Passover when they remember how God miraculously delivered them from the bondage of slavery in Egypt. This event is also referred to as the Exodus or Exodus I.

For many years another Exodus or Exodus II has been taking place where our Heavenly Father is bringing the Jewish people back to Israel from all over the world. Jeremiah 16:14-15 reveal "Therefore behold, the days are coming, says The Lord, that it shall no more be said, 'The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,' but, 'The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the North and from all the lands where He had driven them.' For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers."

How important is this continuing event? First of all, it is God's will and purpose since there are 700 references to it occurring in scripture; second God promises Abraham's descendants they would inherit the land He had given them Genesis 15:18; third, God said in Amos 9:15 He will never again uproot them from the land He had given them; fourth, God declares in Ezekiel 39:28-29 "Then they shall know that I am The Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations but also brought them back to their own land, and left none of them captive any longer. And I will not hide my face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel."

Charles Spurgeon, a spokesman for the Gospel and the Jews, said "I think we do not attach sufficient importance to the restoration of the Jews. We do not think enough about it. But certainly, if there is anything promised in the Bible it is this. . . .You cannot read the Bible without seeing clearly that there is to be an actual restoration of the Children of Israel. . .For when the Jews are restored, the fullness of the Gentiles shall be gathered in; and as soon as they return, then Jesus will come upon Mount Zion."

How can we pray into this vitally important continuing prophetic event? Ask God to reveal His will to all Jewish people to make Aliyah and move back to Israel but also ask for God's protection in this process. May God Bless you and keep you in His care as you continue to pray for Israel.
