will be re-instituted in his days as they had been aforetimes; sacrifices will be offered, and the
                      Sabbatical years and Jubilee years will be observed fully as ordained by the Torah.

                      2. Anyone who does not believe in him, or whoever does not look forward to his coming, denies
                      not only the other prophets but also the Torah and of Moses our Teacher. For the Torah attested
                      to him, as it is said:
                      “…then, the Lord, your God, will bring back your exiles, and He will have mercy upon you. He will
                      once again gather you from all the nations… Even if your exiles are at the end of the heavens, the
                      Lord, your God, will gather you from there, and He will take you from there. And the Lord, your
                      God, will bring you… “(Deuteronomy 30:3-5).

               This prayer is recited today during the Jewish Shabat and other Jewish holidays:

                      "Lead them, swiftly and upright, to Your city Zion and to Jerusalem, the abode of Your Name,
                      as is written in the Torah of Your servant Moses: "Even if your outcasts are at the ends of the
                      world, from there the Lord your God will gather you, from there He will fetch you. And the
                      Lord your God will bring you to the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it;
                      and He will make you more prosperous and more numerous than your fathers."

               Today, The Law of Return (Hebrew:  תובשה    קוח, Hok ha-shvut), a legislation passed in 1950 is the
               defiance of Israel as a Jewish State, hence, the main practice of the state of Israel to embody the idea of
               the Gathering of Israel, by granting every Jew the right to make Aliyah to the State of Israel and to
               receive a certificate of Aliyah, which grants the certificate holder with an Israeli Citizenship immediately.
               Since returning to their land, the Jews have been attacked by Arab nations on numerous times.  Most
               notable were the Six-Day War in 1967 and the attack in 1973.  Other limited attacks are numerous from
               terrorists groups such as the PLO, Hamas, and Hezbollah.  On October 27, 2005, “Iran's conservative new
               president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said that Israel must be "wiped off the map" and that attacks by
               Palestinians would destroy it.”  the ISNA press agency reported.  Why is Israel such a vulnerable target?

               The Treasures of Israel
               End time prophecies indicate that Gentile nations will covet Israel because of great wealth discovered in
               the last days.

               Deut. 33:19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of
               righteousness; for they shall such of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.

               Isaiah 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou
               mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

               Jeremiah 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and
               the measure of thy covetousness.)

               According to Grant R. Jeffery, in his book, The New Temple and the Second Coming, the total estimated
               value of the chemicals in the Dead Sea (Magnesium chloride, sodium chloride, calcium chloride,
               potassium chloride and magnesium bromide) is equal to over $14,000,000,000,000. (14 trillion).  That’s
               equal to the annual gross national product of the United States.
