“I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out. And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead My case with you face to face. Just as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you,” says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 20:34-36

In this verse, God promises to bring the Jewish people out from the countries where they were scattered and to gather them. They were gathered to the newly established State of Israel in 1948, after the end of WW2 in 1945. This is the place where God unleashes the fury of His judgment on them. This is also said in the verses of Ezekiel 22:19-20 that clearly says that God gathers the Jewish people to the State of Israel to unleash the fury of His judgment on them. The verse in Ezekiel 36:22 says plainly that the Jewish people have profaned the name of God, so He gathers them to the State of Israel, not for their benefit but for His purpose. The Holiness of God unleashes Hus fury on profanity.

The Middle East is the “wilderness of the peoples” where God is pleading His case with the Jewish people that He is indeed Lord. He requires the Jewish people to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior. He dealt with the Israelites in a similar way when they rejected His word in the wilderness, and only a remnant was permitted to enter the promised land. Since the Jewish people were gathered to the State of Israel in 1948, they have been in 18 wars, including in the year 1948, Click for a list of those wars and scroll close to the bottom of the page.

The “wilderness of the people” also includes Israel being surrounded by the hostilities of the members of the United Nations, the hostilities of the global culture, and even the opposition of America. The members of the United Nations have opened a case of genocide against the Israeli government, World Court to hear Genocide Case Against Israel. They have also sought arrest warrants for Israeli government officials for alleged war crimes. Around the world, the masses of the global culture riot and protest against the existence of Israel as an independent state. On top of that, America has sided with the laws of the United Nations that it is illegal for Israelis to live in the West Bank.

The reason the Jewish people were gathered to the State of Israel to face God’s fury is because they exalted their Jewish culture above the will of God for them to live for Jesus Christ. If they had followed Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, they would have been Christian and not Jewish, and the Jewish State of Israel would not have ever existed. As Christians, we do not have a nation on this earth to call our own, our nation is in the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth.

In Isaiah 8:11-15, God warned the Jewish people not to think that belief in Jesus Christ was a conspiracy against the Jewish culture. He came to save not to destroy. They were cautioned not to be afraid of the threats of the Pharisees, who made belief in Jesus a literal crime. They feared. The Jewish people were warned that Jesus Christ would be an offense to them, and they would stumble. They were offended and stumbled. They were told that Israel would be broken because of their rejection of Him. They are being broken.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
