UNDERSTANDING ALIYAH
These are answers from Christians to Christians. Jews are welcomed to eavesdrop
- it might help Jews to understand how some Christians think.
“Aliyah” is the Hebrew word meaning “to ascend.” The word commonly refers to Jews who immigrate or return, to Israel. However, in order to truly understand Aliyah, it is important to also understand a brief history of Israel. When we look at history, in light of the prophetic scriptures we can see God's hand at work in this day and hour. We are living in a unique time when God is fulfilling His Word to Israel in the sight of the whole earth. The Lord is bringing the Jewish people back to Israel. More than one million Jews have immigrated to Israel in the past fifteen years. It's time for the Body of Christ to wake up and realize that this is no coincidence.
“Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: "It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy through you before their eyes.“ ‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land...Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors..." (Ezekiel 36:22-24,28)
Less than 100 years ago, Israel was a desolate wasteland just as the Lord said it would be because of the disobedience of the Jewish people which resulted in them being expelled from the land, temporarily. They were scattered among the nations and exiled from the land of Israel in 70 A.D because of their idol worship and defilement of the land. But, it was not permanent. The Lord indicated through the prophets that He would bring them back in the "latter days" and make them "more prosperous than their ancestors" had been. They had been scattered for nearly 2000 years ...until, May 14, 1948.
