Nuggets from "Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations" by Dave Hunt

The precise language of Scripture utterly refutes the idea that prophecies of the Jews returning to their land refer to the long past exodus out of Egypt in to Canaan. That would not be prophecy but history. The following passage in Jeremiah, for example, written in the future tense about nine hundred years after the deliverance from Egypt, specifically declares that it does not refer to coming from Egypt into the Promised Land but to a future return from many lands after the Jews have been cast out of the land and scattered worldwide for their sin:

“Therefore, behold the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt: But the LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from…all the lands whither he had driven them; and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

“Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them….For mine eyes are upon all their ways…neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land…mine inheritance…[and] cause them to know my hand and my might: and they shall know that my name if The LORD [Yahweh]” (Jeremiah:16:14-21 [14] Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; [15] But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. [16] Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. [17] For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. [18] And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things. [19] O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. [20] Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? [21] Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.

Obviously, it is appropriate today, for the first time in history, to affirm the words of this amazing prophecy: “…that brought up the children of Israel from…all the lands whither he had driven them….” In fact, Jews living in Israel today have come from more than one hundred nations. For that reason (and other prophecies we have cited), we have confidence that we are witnessing the Last-Days regathering of Israel (Ezekiel:38:12To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
See All...), with her enemies united all around her and the entire world burdened by her and especially by Jerusalem. All of the evidence points to the fact that we are heading for a false peace leading to the battle of Armageddon.
