All throughout Scripture we see God’s hand upon the people of Israel, including in their times of despair. In the moments when they rebelled and God left them to their own demise, He still would save them, ultimately promising and providing the Savior of the world for all of us.
And God’s saving hand is still upon the nation of Israel today.

In a recent prophetic update, L.A. Marzulli provided two key Scriptures that show us how Israel’s redemption is on its way.
First pointing out Hezbollah’s goal of wiping out Israel, Marzulli asks the question if we are looking at the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 coming to pass.
“The question is this: are we looking at something biblical?” Marzulli asks. “Ezekiel 38 names a group of nations which come up against a land of unwalled villages in the latter days…I’ve been to Israel; it is a land of unwalled villages.”
Marzulli points out that the three nations in the prophecies mentioned in Ezekiel 38 and 39 are today’s modern equivalent of Russia, Turkey and Iran. Even with the imminent rise of these powerful nations against Israel, this portion of Scripture makes it clear that the Lord Himself will be known throughout all the world when others come against His people.
“I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the LORD,” Ezekiel 38:23 reads.
God also promises in Ezekiel 39 to no longer allow His holy name to be desecrated.
“So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel. And I will not let them pollute My holy name anymore. And the nations shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel,” (v. 7).
The second portion of Scripture that Marzulli points to for our generation to consider is Amos 9.
“It should be read in every single church in America,” Marzulli says.
Amos 9:14-15 reads: “I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant them upon their land, and no more will they be uprooted out of their land which I have given them. The LORD your God has spoken.”
Marzulli points to the prophetic fulfillment of this word back in 1948 when Israel became a nation.
“Israel will never again be plucked up out of the land that the Lord their God has given them,” Marzulli says. “People need to understand where we are and what is going on.”
As we see these prophecies come to pass, it’s important to recognize how every word from the Lord will come to pass, and we can be sure to know that His promises to Israel will be fulfilled.
