In Jeremiah 30:17 we read: “For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, said the Lord; because they have called thee an outcast, saying, It is Zion, for whom no one cares.” That is exactly true of the history of the Jewish people. They were a people for whom no one cared. For 1,800 years the Jews were outcasts, and everyone looked down upon them and treated them as such. However, the Lord Himself said: “I have seen this; I Myself will restore health unto thee. I Myself will heal thee of thy wounds.” God is working a work in such a way that this nation of Israel becomes a testimony to the absolute authority and relevance of His Word. That is true of its recreation, its regathering, it's rebuilding, and the restoration of its fertility and ecology. However, it is in the immediate years that lie ahead that its greatest witness to the faithfulness of God will be revealed to the nations. ─ Lance Lambert
