"Next Year in Jerusalem"

Europe is no longer safe for young women or Jews. 

Barcelona's chief rabbi told the Jewish population to move to Israel because "Europe is lost." He told them that it was better to get out earlier rather than later and not to make the same mistakes other populations of Jews had made in thinking that the hatred would blow over. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/barcelona-terror-attack-chief-rabbi-meir-bar-hen-jews-move-israel-europe-is-lost-a7903111.html 

Haaretz had an article that claimed a spike in immigrations from the U.S. after Trump was elected. I understand that many Jewish people have a liberal bent and would not appreciate living in a Trump America. But I also sadly watch the rise of Neo-Nazism and other hate groups who believe, as Hitler did, that Jews are ruining the world. Those people will succeed in making American Jews consider relocating to their ancestral home. http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-1.769037

After World War II, the U.S. used Operation Paperclip to import many of Germany's finest minds including Albert Einstein. Out of this program came multitudes of inventions and discoveries. The list is too long to reproduce here. We can start with the Sauk vaccine for polio which made a common illness a rarity. Here are a couple of lists:

How many of these would you be willing to live without?

If you think about it, just as the U.S. benefited from importing many German Jews, so too will Israel gain from bring their people home. And other nations will become poorer for it.

God's word says it will happen - and we watch it fall into place in the daily news. Maybe you have to look at sources from other countries since our news services are too busy bashing our sitting President, but the facts are apparent.

And as badly as the surrounding nations want Israel to disappear from the map, it will not happen. See the end of Amos chapter 9.

From Jeremiah 31

“Again I will build you and you will be rebuilt,
            O virgin of Israel!
            Again you will take up your tambourines,
            And go forth to the dances of the merrymakers.

      5“Again you will plant vineyards
            On the hills of Samaria;
            The planters will plant
            And will enjoy them.

“Behold, I am bringing them from the north country,
            And I will gather them from the remote parts of the earth,
            Among them the blind and the lame,
            The woman with child and she who is in labor with child, together;
            A great company, they will return here.

      9“With weeping they will come,
            And by supplication I will lead them;
            I will make them walk by streams of waters,
            On a straight path in which they will not stumble;
            For I am a father to Israel,
            And Ephraim is My firstborn.”

      10Hear the word of the LORD, O nations,
            And declare in the coastlands afar off,
            And say, “He who scattered Israel will gather him
            And keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.”

“They will come and shout for joy on the height of Zion,
            And they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD—
            Over the grain and the new wine and the oil,
            And over the young of the flock and the herd;
            And their life will be like a watered garden,
            And they will never languish again.

New American Standard Bible

From Amos 9:

Israel’s Restoration

11 “In that day

“I will restore David’s fallen shelter—
    I will repair its broken walls
    and restore its ruins—
    and will rebuild it as it used to be,
12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom
    and all the nations that bear my name,[e]”
declares the Lord, who will do these things.

13 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,

“when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman
    and the planter by the one treading grapes.
New wine will drip from the mountains
    and flow from all the hills,
14     and I will bring my people Israel back from exile.[f]

“They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them.
    They will plant vineyards and drink their wine;
    they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 I will plant Israel in their own land,
    never again to be uprooted
    from the land I have given them,”

says the Lord your God. (NKJ)
