Voice
from Hebron By Gary Cooperberg The phenomenon of Christians becoming increasingly interested in examining the Biblical process of Zionists redemption, aside from raising eyebrows, is actually an indication of the furtherance of that process. Indeed, such expressions of support for the Zionist process on the part of Gentiles is fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.
Having recently returned from a
speaking tour in the states, during which I came into contact with several
such groups, I am more convinced than ever that the Redemption is moving
ever more swiftly to its climax. While there have been examples of
Christians supporting the concept of Jewish return to the Land of Israel
at least one hundred years ago, today the number of such Gentiles is
rapidly increasing. Clearly, by observing the reality of the reborn Jewish
State and the ingathering of the exiles thereto, any Bible scholar can
recognize genuine fulfillment of Biblical prophey. On Wednesday evening two men
from a Christian group, Andy and Lee, approached me and asked if it would
be possible for them to accompany me to the Cave of Machpelah the
following morning. They know that I pray there every morning just before
dawn. It was a most unusual request, and, I could tell that is was made in
reverent sincerity. They were ready when I arrived at 5:20 in the morning
and both donned Kipot in respect. When we got into the building and joined
the minyan, the two men sat quietly in silent meditation. Toward the end
of prayers a few of the locals became aware of the fact that non-Jews had
joined our minyan. One fellow even came over to me suggesting that this
was not proper. Just at this point I noted a sentence in my prayer book. “And
all the goyim that He made came to pray to Him and give honor to His
Name”. I showed it to my friend and he was taken aback. His best
response was to suggest that this sentence was referring to time of
redemption. I smiled at him and suggested that perhaps that is why this is
happening now. Of course all of these things
are open to debate, but no one can deny that unusual things are happening
and that the Jewish State is central to it all. That alone is amazing
phenomenon. In this age of Jet planes and internet why should anyone care
about or even notice the tiny State of Israel? What do we have that makes
us so important as to be constantly on the front pages of all the
newspapers in the world? Why is every major world power so concerned about
“peace” in our little corner of the world when there are
conflagrations in so many other places? Clearly this is all beyond logic
and nature. It is all further verification of the Divine nature of the
resurrection of Israel in her ancient homeland and the ongoing process of
Zionist redemption. To subscribe to “A Voice from Hebron” send an e-mail message,
