      The Jewish People and the Holy Land - Henry H. Halley

      The Jewish People and the Holy Land

      Why Is This Important?

      Two of God’s promises to Abraham were that his descendants would become a large nation and that they would live in the land that God promised him. The Jewish people and the Promised Land play key roles in the biblical narratives. But there is generally a gap of almost 2000 years in our awareness of the story of the Promised Land and the Jews, God’s covenant people—a gap from the end of the book of Acts, where clear delineation occurs between Judaism and Christianity, to the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, which marks the fulfillment of many prophecies regarding the regathering of Jews in Israel (see Ezekiel 37:3, 7–11, 21–23; Matthew 24:32–34).

      During this significant historical gap, Christianity grew from a small Jewish sect into a world religion; Islam was founded and became a major religious and political force. The histories of the three major monotheistic world religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—became intertwined. The Promised Land was under Islamic control for almost 1,300 years. The Jews have been persecuted for many centuries, sadly mostly in countries that considered themselves to be Christian.

      The story of the land and the Jewish people from the end of Acts to the present shows how incredible it is that the Jews have survived and once again live in the land, albeit seemingly somewhat precariously at times. It is difficult not to see God’s hand at work through all of this. The history of God’s dealings with His people Israel did not end with the Bible but has continued and continues today. This should not surprise us, for God promised that He would regather and restore the Jews in the end times.
