Note: I support and pray for the remnant of Israel mentioned in the Bible which God will regather at some point to his Holy land of Israel. But the “State of Israel” is not a regathering in faith by God to His holy land. “Israel’s existence today is merely a man-made effort. It’s an accident of history.” (Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum) Therefore, I do not support this fake “Israel.”
Am I an anti-semite? Answer: I am not anti-anyone. I do not support nor condone the persecution, ridicule, discrimination against, harassment, mistreatment, intimidation, victimizing nor terrorizing of any person or group of people. [Except, maybe, Congress.] [jk]
God’s Remnant of Israelites
The so-called “State of Israel” is not the regathering of God’s remnant of Israelites. It is a political construct based on the Balfour Declaration which was England “giving” Lord Rothschild permission to move refugees from countries torn by World War I into the land where God’s Israel was and is to be located. The land is holy but the “state” is not. The inhabitants that were there were persecuted by this new state (which was not given any national boundaries) and they were killed and some were forced to move. The land has been a war zone for more than 70 years as the “new State of Israel” claimed land that they have no right to, expanded their boundaries, and set up a government that doesn’t resemble anything godly nor holy. The regathering of the remnant of Israel will be a nation of peace, not war.
Isaiah 11:11 In that day the Lord will extend His hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of His people, from Assyria, from Egypt, Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea.
The people that have formed the new “state” of Israel came from Europe and Russia and the United States; not from those countries mentioned in Isaiah 11:
Assyria — modern-day Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait
Egypt — modern-day Egypt, Sudan, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan
Pathros — southern Egypt
Cush — parts of Africa: Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia
Elam — Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kygryzstan
The regathering of God of His remnant will be of believers, not woke proponents of things like liberalism, progressivism, leftist, LBGT, transsexuals, war, etc.
The following is quoted from Brave AI in answer to the question: “What percentage of the residents of the modern state of Israel believe that Yeshua is the Messiah?”:
“Estimates of the percentage of residents in the modern State of Israel who believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah vary significantly across different sources and definitions. A 2023 survey found that approximately 70% of Israelis had heard of “Messianic Jews,” who are Jewish people who believe Yeshua is the Messiah, but it did not provide a direct percentage of those who personally hold this belief.
“One study conducted by Dr. Erez Soref, president of the Israel College of the Bible, estimated that the number of Jewish Israelis who believe in Yeshua has grown to approximately 30,000. Another study from 2020 by the Caspari Center reported that the number of Israeli Messianic believers stood at 15,323 people. The 2017 International Religious Freedom Report cited an estimate of around 20,000 Messianic Jews in Israel. These figures represent a small fraction of Israel’s total population of approximately 9.5 million people, indicating that belief in Yeshua as the Messiah remains a very small minority view within the country.”
Summary: It is estimated that only 15,000 to 20,000 of the 9.5 million Jews in Israel believe that Yeshua is the Messiah. That’s about .2 percent.
Therefore this “regathering” is in unbelief.
Deuteronomy 30:1-3 “And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the LORD your God has driven you, and return to the LORD your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you.”
The first thing that will happen with the regathering of God’s remnant is their return to faith in God. Then they will be regathered.
Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, in his video on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEhKgFZ0uy4 The Modern State of Israel, [minute mark 8:08] referencing Deuteronomy 30, said, “…notice the chronological sequence that no matter where the Jewish people are scattered throughout the world they’ll all come to a national faith. They’ll finally recognize who the Messiah truly was, accept him as the Messiah, and also plead for his return. And so the sequence is salvation of Israel preceding the second coming and the Messianic kingdom. The salvation of Israel has to precede the second coming and the establishment of the kingdom. And the modern State obviously does not fit that kind of a category.”
And at minute mark: 4:42 he stated that: “…the modern state of Israel is just a human effort and an accident of history.”
