“Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you.”
The rebirth of Israel in 1948 and the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967 are two of the most significant events in world history, both of which were foreseen in Bible prophecy. This year God’s chosen nation and His holy city are celebrating important milestones.
It is 50 years since the reunification of Jerusalem and 100 years since the signing of the Balfour Declaration, which helped lead to the creation of the modern State of Israel. We believe these events have spiritual significance for the world.
When Jerusalem was reunified in June 1967, it brought an end to more than 1,800 years of Jerusalem being occupied by invading forces. Even though Jews dwelt in Jerusalem throughout this time, the city was now rightfully returned to the Jewish people, fulfilling Bible prophecy and God’s promises that have been spoken by Christians and Jews throughout the ages.
