This lets us know that new life had come to the Jewish people, as seen in their unfolding progress in industry, agriculture, religious worship, education and etc. They were, therefore, a corporate body of people returning to their homeland by legal enactment. “...and the skin covered them above...” (Ezekiel 37:8b) Therefore, we see the scattered Jews from many countries coming together, as one, a single entity, as a unified living organism. This is proof of the blending together and uniting of Jewish colonists and Zionists advocates of all kinds into a recognized state amidst the nations of the world. The United Nations officially recognized Israel as a sovereign entity. After being scattered throughout the world from 70 A.D. until May 14, 1948, some 1878 years, she is now recognized as a sovereign state. She has an army, an air force, colleges, schools, Cohen’s (priests), currency system, banks, museums, and a Sanhedrin. “...but there was no breath in them.” (Ezekiel 37:8c) Yes, Israel is recognized by the world as a nation; but, she is spiritually dead. She does not have the breath of life in her, spiritually, because she has rejected the Life Giver, her Messiah, her Savior (Yeshua Ha’Maschiach), the Lord Jesus Christ. Even the Orthodox Jews in Israel today do not adhere to nor claim that Israel today is that of Jehovah God. They are looking for the Messiah, Himself, to establish the true Israel. C. Israel In the Future. One must remember that the complete fulfillment of Ezekiel’s prophecies will take place at the conclusion of The Great Tribulation when Christ returns to the Earth and establishes His Kingdom for a millennium. Israel that is back in the land now, is only the birth pains of the prophecy. She must be a recognized nation at the Rapture and after, making it possible for the Antichrist to confirm a covenant of perpetual peace with her as stated in Daniel 9:27. “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (of seven years): and in the midst of the week (after 3 ½ years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” In other words, how could the prophecy in Daniel ever be fulfilled if there were no State of Israel to make a covenant with? Truly we can see God’s handiwork as He controls the nations, like moves on a giant chessboard, to fulfill the History He has pre-written. The Israel we see today will again be scatted and persecuted when the Antichrist breaks the Covenant he makes with Israel that lasts only 3 ½ years
