The Bible's Prophecy of Jews Returning to their Homeland?
So I was looking at the Bible Prophecies and saw this prophecy..now, I know it's a prophecy but what do you guys think of this? Did they leave their homeland already when this was written?
Why do you say that the Biblical Prophecy is of no importance? If it's true then it is probably a bit important.

1. Hard to tell. But the Biblical prophecy is of no importance.
2. *Many failed prophecies*
*One prophecy comes true*
GOD EXISTS!
3. It is a prophesy that came to pass in 1948, when the Jews reclaimed Israel.
It was at that time they became recognized around the world as an official Nation.
*e
It doen't matter how many Jews live around the world compared to living in Israel, they are a recognized nation and have been since 1948.
4. There are still more Jews living outside of Israel than in it, so it didn't really come true.
5. And the price was the holocaust of Jews in general.
Sounds like an all loving God.
6. It was written when the hebrews still had Israel. Howver, they had lost it and gained it back since then. Because of that (and since that) prophecies from the book of Revelation have been happening frequently. Also, read Matthew 24 and see what you think.
7. It refers to their return from Babylon. Just one of the many times they were kicked out and returned..
Hardly a 'prophesy'...
IMHO.
8. They went into Assyrian captivity, and Babylonian captivity about 600 years BC. YHVH has long offered to bring them back as a nation if they were obedient to Him. They weren't, and I believe time is running out, Some people think that refers to the next thousand years. I do not.
9. Remember that the name “Israel” not only referred to Jacob, but also to his descendants—who became Israel. The same principle is seen in the New Testament.
For example, the Lord told the ancient Israelites, “And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation” (Exodus 19:6). In the New Testament, Peter applies these exact words to the church: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people” (1 Peter 2:9).
Likewise, immediately after Paul’s statement in Galatians 3 about Jesus being “the seed,” he then tells his Gentile (a non- Jew) converts, “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29). Thus in the New Testament, the name Israel not only applies to Jesus Christ, but also to those who are born in Christ—His Church! In other words, all true Christians are now God’s spiritual Israel.
The church is called the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27), which is one reason why James, when writing to the church, addresses it as the 12 tribes that are scattered abroad (James 1:1). From the very beginning, the church has understood Israel to mean a spiritual body of Christ.
the Christian world needs a loving “bonk” on the head with this New Testament truth, so that more people start “seeing double” about the subject of Israel! According to the New Testament, there are now two Israels. One group is composed of literal Israelites “according to the flesh” (Romans 9:3, 4). The other is “spiritual Israel,” composed of Jews and Gentiles who believe in Jesus Christ.
Paul writes, “They are not all Israel, which are of Israel” (Romans 9:6). How’s that for proof! That is, not all are part of God’s spiritual Israel who are of the literal nation of Israel. Paul continues: “That is, They which are the children of the flesh [physical descendants of Abraham], these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed” (v. 8). The children of the flesh are only natural descendants of Abraham, but the children of the promise are counted as the true seed. Today, any person—Jew or Gentile—can become part of this spiritual nation of Israel through faith in Jesus Christ.
Happy Sabbath:-)
