Today is Israel’s Independence Day. Along with all the happy celebrations–picnics, air shows, flag-waving–these thoughts were in my mind when I read Jeremiah 33:6-9 regarding the city of Jerusalem…

“Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will rebuild those places as at the first. I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me. Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.”

We have seen the first part of this passage fulfilled in the last generation. The people of Judah have returned from the four corners of the earth and the land of Israel has been rebuilt. The Lord is bringing health and healing to His people and is revealing His truth and peace to them even now.

But this week, I would ask you to pray with me for all Israel to be cleansed from their iniquities and receive pardon for all their sins. We are believing for the salvation of all Israel as proclaimed in Romans 11:26,

“And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: ‘The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; for this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.'”

And when this happens, we are looking forward to the life-from-the-dead revival that will sweep this nation as described in Romans 11:1,15,

“I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not!…For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?”

Indeed, the whole world will see and be amazed by the goodness and prosperity that God lavishes on His people when they return to Him with their whole heart. This will usher in the ultimate Independence Day celebration. For, “therefore if the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36) Only then will all Israel will be a joy and praise and an honor to the Lord before all the nations of the earth.

Thank you for praying with me about this great awakening. And may you too be blessed with all of God’s goodness and prosperity as you bless Israel and speak God’s message of love and salvation to her people!
