" 'For thus says the Lord GOD: "Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day. And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country" ' "  (Ezekiel 34:11–13).

We are living during a time in which we can clearly see that God is fulfilling the above and many other Biblical Scriptures concerning the return of His people Israel to their ancient homeland. Indeed, as this passage from Ezekiel says, God Himself will “bring them out” and “gather them,” and, as it says in Jeremiah 30:3, the Lord will “cause” His people to return. More and more, we hear about “lost tribes” coming home to Israel. We are witnessing a stirring of Jews in “all the places where they were scattered,” including the Bnei Menashe in northeast India (who trace their ancestors to the tribe of Manasseh) and the descendants of the Kaifeng Jews in China. Even Bnei Anusim (whose lineage extends to Sephardic Jews who were forcibly converted) are suddenly being inspired with a longing to be restored to their Jewish identity.

It is a blessing to recognize that this is a sovereign move of the Lord Himself. He is gathering His flock—His people—back from the Diaspora to the Land of Israel. Yet He also wishes to use the nations—non-Jews—in practical ways to help implement His prophecy-fulfilling acts: “Thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Behold I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations, and set up My standard for the peoples; they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders’ ” (Isaiah 49:22).

Both your prayers and your financial support will make it possible not only to satisfy the dream of Jews desiring to return to their homeland, but also to execute God’s divine will in the earth.
