A.W. Tozer on Israel (April 27, 1958) -
"The nations of the world have found that you can persecute the Jew. You can burn him. You can throw him to lions. You can put him in gas chambers. You can make him wear a badge with an evil word on it. You can turn on him and persecute him, and when it's all over, he'll come crawling up out of the ashes and live on.
God has said to Israel, ‘I will keep you'; He kept him. And just as He kept Daniel in the lion's den in Israel, three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace, and Jonah in the belly of the whale, so He has kept the nation of Israel down the years.
Right now, fundamentalism has swung away almost completely from the pre-millenarian position that we believe and that our fathers knew and taught. And we don't hear much about it anymore. But my brother, I believe that God is preserving Israel still.
...if the Arabic nations should turn on Israel and dissolve her and tear her apart and to make her to be no nation, it wouldn’t bother me, because I very well know that the God of Israel is a sovereign God. And if this present nation called Israel over there should be scattered to the ends of the earth, God still will fulfill His Scripture which says, 'I will bring you back from all the nations.'
I don't like the palsy-walsying around with communism, that I'm afraid may be present a little over there. But I know that God by one dramatic wave of His hand can change that whole thing. I know it. I don't know how He'll do it, but I know He can do it. And He will do it.
And not only that, He will bring Israel to her knees and Israel will repent in the last chapter of the prophetic book of Zechariah. And in the 13th, and along there, we learn in the 13th and 14th, we learn how Israel will repent, and all her families will go apart and weep deeply in grave sorrow over her sins. And she will look on Him whom she has pierced, and she will recognize Him as her Messiah.
Jesus Christ our Lord who was born of the seed of Abraham according to the flesh, and who came in the line of Isaac and Jacob and David and on down to the little Virgin Mary, and became flesh to dwelt among us, He will be true to His people, and will restore them again as He promised to do.
...'And He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever.'
Has that been fulfilled? 'And of His kingdom there shall be no end.' 'The Lord shall give unto Him the throne of his father David.' Has that been fulfilled? 'He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever.' Neither of these had been fulfilled. He has never sat on the throne of his father David. There was no throne of David when Jesus walked the earth. And Jesus has never for one remote hour ever reigned over the house of Jacob. For the house of Jacob refuses to believe that Jesus is their Messiah. And they said, 'we will not have this man to reign over us.'
Therefore, God has got to fulfill. Do you think He will? I believe He will."
