We were blessed that Eitan was able to be our “guide” for the day as this is one very busy, busy man. Eitan started us out thinking about Ezekiel 36 and how Sovereign LORD is used 14 times in Ezekiel 36, as He instructs Ezekiel to prophesy about the restoration of Israel. “Has this been fulfilled?” Eitan asked, then telling us that only half of the world’s Jewish population is in Israel. One way of hearing what Eitan said is that this prophecy wasn’t fulfilled with the return of the Exiles with Ezra and Nehemiah, but is IN THE PROCESS of being fulfilled!! Not someday, not 5000 years ago, not somewhere in space, deep underground, or another dimension…but RIGHT NOW in Israel, with our friends on ground zero as it were…it is being fulfilled NOW. What a faith turbo charger thing to consider!
Ezekiel 36:8 says “But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit for my people Israel, for they will soon come home.” The mountains have been there for centuries, the trees now number over 20 million (20,000,000) and I saw branches and fruit everywhere! I could smell orange blossoms out of the back of our hotel room on the Galilee…! Banana groves of all things are everywhere there can be drip irrigation. Are you kidding me? I better fully get that our God is the Sovereign LORD and move with Him and His people or be left watching the rocks cry out in praise!
God, don’t let me put you in a box, tear down my small view of you, anoint me with Your Spirit to fully understand Your love for Your land and people Israel. Give me prophetic vision to see the great moves of Your will under way right now! Be my Sovereign LORD in my walk and not just my talk!
