“Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Behold, I will save My people from the land of the east And from the land of the west; I will bring them back, And they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. They shall be My people And I will be their God, In truth and righteousness.’ Zechariah 8:7-8

Wow, what a prophetic message for today! While this scattering and gathering of Israel has historically happened before, as the prophet Zechariah is calling the Jews back to rebuild the Temple of God, this is also a future message, as God is not done with Israel yet! (Romans 9-11)

Notice God promises to “save My people” this is a promise of divine protection, while Israel has been punished for its past sins and disobedience, God has not cast them away yet! The Lord will gather His elect and destroy His enemies at the final battle of Armegeddon, is the stage set for our time period?

And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. Revelation 16:16

“I (God) will save My People (Israel) from the land of the east and the land of the west, I will bring them (Jews) back” While the gathering has been fulfilled in some sense, the final gathering has not been completed yet!,  When have the Jews been dispersed across the entire world? The prophetic gathering has begun in 1948 , when Israel once again became a nation in one day (Isaiah 66:8) 

They (Israel) shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, God is bringing back His remnant of Jews to Israel, specifically Jerusalem, the same place our Lord and Savior will physically return to save Israel (Zechariah 12-14)

And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south. Zechariah 14:4

You say , “this is all coincidence, the world just happens to hate and want to destroy Israel, there are no such thing as coincidences, the prophecy and will of God will be done, regardless if you believe it or not. As Jesus said to Satan in the wilderness “It Is Written, It Is Written, It Is Written! (Matthew 4)

“Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Let your hands be strong, You who have been hearing in these days These words by the mouth of the prophets, Who spoke in the day the foundation was laid For the house of the LORD of hosts, That the temple might be built. Zechariah 8:9

Once again God is calling back His remnant, to listen to the words of the prophets, including Zechariah and Daniel, to come back to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. While the Temple as rebuilt a second time, it was utterly rejected by Christ 

And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ” Matthew 21:13

Israel will need to learn the one they crucified is The Lord, He is the Living Temple of God, Christ is the ultimate sacrifice of sin (John 1:39) our High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16) The Word that became Flesh (John 1:14) Once the spiritual blindness to Israel is removed, they will understand and receive him as Lord and King

“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. Zechariah 12:10

For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. Romans 11:25

But after the spiritual blindness is removed, they will understand Jesus Christ is the true Temple, the Messiah, our Lord and God, Amen!

Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” John 2:19
