Restored to the Land

God is restoring the Jewish people to the land of Israel. Since their exile around the world nearly two millennia ago, Jewish people have daily prayed that they would be restored to the land of Israel. The Hebrew prophets foretold a day when God would draw His people back to their promised land. Throughout church history, Christians for the most part could not conceive of a literal fulfillment of this promise, so they interpreted it figuratively. However, some believers in the nineteenth century did indeed take the promise of a return literally and therefore began to anticipate a Jewish return to the land of Israel.

In previous chapters, this book has described the nineteenth century “Lovers of Zion,” who believed that a return to the land of Israel was the only hope for Jewish people to survive in a world filled with anti-Jewish hatred. Chapter 6 recounted the story of Theodore Herzl and the rise of Zionism, which led to the immigration waves known as aliyot and the issuing of the Balfour Declaration (1917) that advocated a Jewish national home in Palestine. Chapter 7 told the story of the ingathering of the exiles after the birth of the state of Israel.
