old-new entity, an independent Jewish state in the Jewish homeland. The new State of Israel marked the
end of the 2000-year-old exile.

Today Jewish people from all over the world continue to return to Israel, where cities that were once
destroyed by their enemies have been rebuilt and where the soil is bursting with fruit, trees and flowers,
just as the prophet Ezekiel had foretold. According to Rashi, the great medieval commentator on the
Bible and Talmud, "When the Land of Israel gives its fruit abundantly, the redemption will be imminent,
and there can be no more manifest redemption than this." The unfaltering faith in God's promise that
the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob would return to their homeland is a prophecy fulfilled of
extreme “end time” importance.

Why? Because Israel is intertwined into the end-time prophecies of the nations. As we continue our
study, you will certainly see how Israel continues to be the center of future prophecy!

Jesus’s 2 Coming
Jesus clearly told his disciples that He would return to earth someday in the future. At his ascension, the
angles told the disciples, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has
been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into
heaven." (Acts 1:11 NASB). Jesus was asked when he would set up his kingdom in Matthew 24, and
Jesus described all sorts of events that would take place just before His return. But His plan was to
establish the Church, His bride, between His first coming and His final coming.
