I will show myself holy among you in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the land I had sworn with uplifted hand to give to your fathers.Ezek.20:41b-42
God has a long-standing promise with Israel. He plans to keep it. He has ordained it. He has no problem stating ahead of time that it is going to happen. And He has no problem in making it happen in the future. God is able. He is the Sovereign LORD of the Universe. ---Something I did not realize before. The land of Canaan was a beautiful, green, fertile land until Israel had committed her many sins against God. She went into the beautiful places and made high-places to worship sticks and stones---false idols. For this, God allowed this beautiful land to be desecrated into a dry and thirsty land. We have known it as a deserted looking land of rock and such. However, it is making a come back. God is preparing the land to bring His people back! Pay attention to the signs! The world can turn its head and act like nothing is going on, but God will show Himself holy amongst Israel in the sight of the nations! Be careful to not get side-tracked with North Korea, the economy, Iran, civil unions, Iraq, Dow Jones and Hollywood. God will restore the nation of Israel. Why do you think they are still around?
