Episode: “The Hope of Restoration”
A major piece in God’s prophetic, end-times puzzle consists of subsequent predictions of Israel’s last-days rise. A once-desolate land has become like Eden. (Ezekiel 36)
Series: “Ezekiel and the MidEast “Piece” Process (2023)”
Dr. Jeffrey Seif, David, and Kirsten take viewers into one of the Bible’s most mysterious and fascinating books. Ezekiel prophesies Israel’s re-emergence as a nation-state at “day’s end,” and also warns that neighboring nation-states will marshal military resources as they seek to annihilate the fledgling state.

  • 00:01 David Hart: Shalom, and hello again. On today's program, the prophet Ezekiel had many words of warning, but he also had a
  • 00:09 word of hope for the nation desperate for restoration.
  • 00:11 The good news is coming up on "Our Jewish Roots" with Bible

  • 01:20 David: Thank you so much for joining us today.
  • 01:21 I am David Hart.
  • 01:22 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
  • 01:24 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I am Jeffrey Seif.
  • 01:25 David: So we've heard a lot of judgment already in this
  • 01:28 program, in this series, but today I like it because there's
  • 01:31 a little piece of the puzzle of hope and good news.
  • 01:36 Kirsten: Hallelujah.
  • 01:38 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: And I'm telling ya, in this world, good
  • 01:39 news is in high demand but very short supply, and it really is
  • 01:42 an example of desperate people learning that God hears the cry
  • 01:47 of the heart, and that's so important.
  • 01:49 David: And we can relate to what happens today, right?
  • 01:52 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yes, and would that hope just flooded lives.
  • 01:56 I know that, you know, a lot--we live close to desperation behind
  • 02:01 the makeup and behind the smiles, and, you know, a lot of
  • 02:04 times, we feel, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
  • 02:08 And this is a program for the distraught,
  • 02:12 for the disenfranchised.
  • 02:14 You know, God doesn't forget. He does remember.
  • 02:17 He is strong, and he helps.
  • 02:19 Kirsten: And Ezekiel and Ezekiel's people, they're
  • 02:22 in a refugee camp.
  • 02:25 They needed something because they hear--you know, they know
  • 02:28 what's happening in Jerusalem.
  • 02:29 That's a hard time, and thank the Lord that he comes, and
  • 02:34 sometimes it's almost like at the last minute, but he does
  • 02:37 come in, and he's like, "I'm gonna restore you.
  • 02:40 I have good news for you."
  • 02:41 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: He does, and it's a special kind of grace
  • 02:43 too because the reason why they were there, their own sins
  • 02:48 proved to be their own undoing, but even with sin and abysmal
  • 02:53 circumstance, God doesn't say, "I forget you."
  • 02:56 He punishes, and he restores, and there's beauty in that.
  • 03:00 There's grace in that, and the Lord only knows we
  • 03:04 can use mercy and grace.
  • 03:05 Kirsten: Exactly. Good news today, yes.
  • 03:07 David: Amen, so you're teaching today at a
  • 03:09 beautiful park, correct?
  • 03:12 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: In Israel. David: In Israel?
  • 03:14 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Our viewers send us to the Holy Land, and
  • 03:16 it's an honor for me, honestly, to open up the Bible, but to
  • 03:19 open it up from there is a joy.
  • 03:22 I hope this program opens up things to people as they take a
  • 03:25 look at the Book from the land of the Book.
  • 03:28 David: Good, we take you to that park right now
  • 03:29 with Dr. Seif's teaching.
  • 03:32 narrator: And the Lord spoke unto Ezekiel, "Prophesy,
  • 03:36 therefore, concerning the land of Israel, 'O mountains of
  • 03:40 Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your
  • 03:45 fruit to my people Israel.
  • 03:48 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you,
  • 03:54 and ye shall be tilled and sown.
  • 03:57 And I will multiply upon you man and beast, and they
  • 04:01 shall increase and bring fruit, and ye shall know
  • 04:06 that I am the Lord.'"
  • 04:11 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Beautiful ponds, pleasant, gentle-running
  • 04:15 creeks, foliage round about, deep and beautiful colors.
  • 04:23 I'm coming to you from a national park in the modern
  • 04:26 nation-state of Israel, and this lush, this gorgeous environment
  • 04:32 reminds me of predictions in the Bible wherein the prophets
  • 04:35 envision that a land that was desolate will come back to life.
  • 04:41 And, friends, we're living at the season of the rejuvenation,
  • 04:46 Bible times coming alive before our eyes.
  • 04:51 Speaking of Bible times, in chapter 36 of Ezekiel, the
  • 04:56 prophet here envisions that this place, Israel, that was desolate
  • 05:00 at one point, would again become like Gan Eden, like Eden.
  • 05:06 In fact, the prophet says that the land would be
  • 05:08 greater than its former estate and uses the vision
  • 05:12 of paradise to describe it.
  • 05:14 "Paradise" comes from a Latin word meaning "enclosed garden."
  • 05:17 And here from this beautiful garden-type area in this
  • 05:21 national park, I wanna bring you the Word of the Lord.
  • 05:24 Chapter 36:1-- [speaking in Hebrew]
  • 05:27 "And, thou--"
  • 05:29 [speaking in Hebrew] "son of man--"
  • 05:31 [speaking in Hebrew]
  • 05:34 "prophesy to the mountains of Israel--"
  • 05:37 [speaking in Hebrew]
  • 05:40 "and speak to those mountains of Israel--"
  • 05:42 [speaking in Hebrew]
  • 05:44 "hear the word of the Lord."
  • 05:48 And what is the word going on in verse 2?
  • 05:50 "Because the enemy has said against you, 'Aha!
  • 05:53 The ancient high places are ours in possession,' therefore
  • 05:58 prophesy, and say, 'Even because they have made you desolate, and
  • 06:03 swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession
  • 06:07 unto the rest of the nations, inasmuch as those people have
  • 06:11 wasted you and done this to you--'"
  • 06:14 the Lord goes on to say, "I will multiply back to you
  • 06:17 many times over what was taken from you."
  • 06:21 He says in verse 4, "Hear the word of the Lord God.
  • 06:24 Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, to the hills, to the
  • 06:27 streams, to the valleys, to the desolate waste places--"
  • 06:31 as he goes on to say in verse 9, "Behold, I am for you,
  • 06:37 and I will turn you, and you'll be tilled and sown:
  • 06:41 and I will multiply men upon you.
  • 06:44 I will cause you to be inhabited."
  • 06:47 I'd imagine these individuals who were farmers were thrilled
  • 06:53 to learn that their humble estate would be transformed.
  • 06:59 They were told that God had something good for them.
  • 07:03 And this is a word for all of us in the sense that sometimes we
  • 07:06 can be bested by despair, disoriented by circumstances.
  • 07:12 We feel that we've been ravaged by sin, we've been victimized,
  • 07:16 and we've lost what's rightfully ours, and here we are, distant
  • 07:21 from what we would wish for our lives.
  • 07:24 Isn't it good to know there's a God who says, "I am for you, not
  • 07:28 against you," who says, "I'll restore you," who says, "I'll
  • 07:32 make the rains to come down, and I'll build you up again"?
  • 07:36 That's a word for Israel, and that's a word for us, and it's a
  • 07:40 word that comes to us from Ezekiel, and to his Word,
  • 07:43 we'll attend as we consider "Ezekiel and the
  • 07:45 Middle East Piece Process."
  • 07:50 narrator: A fruitless vine; to the prophet Ezekiel, God's
  • 07:54 picture of a faithless Israel.
  • 07:57 "And the word of the Lord came unto Ezekiel, 'Behold, the wood
  • 08:02 of the vine is cast into the fire for fuel, and so
  • 08:06 will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.'"
  • 08:10 God's purpose for his people will be made clear
  • 08:13 even in the purging fire.
  • 08:19 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Bible writers employ a considerable
  • 08:21 amount of a nature imagery.
  • 08:24 In Ezekiel, the 15th chapter, there, the prophet
  • 08:26 sees Israel as a vine.
  • 08:29 Israel's not faring very well.
  • 08:31 Branches are broken off and thrown into the fire.
  • 08:33 It's a tough story.
  • 08:35 Interestingly, in the Johannine gospel, in the Gospel of John,
  • 08:38 the 15th chapter, Yeshua, Jesus, says much the same.
  • 08:41 Well, so much for the bad news.
  • 08:43 There is a discipline, that's true, but God's mercy
  • 08:45 triumphs over his judgment.
  • 08:48 Ezekiel says that God's going to visit Israel with judgment,
  • 08:51 but that's not the full story because his mercy
  • 08:54 gets the better.
  • 08:55 Come with me; I'm gonna show you the miracle on the eastern part
  • 08:58 of the Mediterranean here as Tel Aviv celebrates
  • 09:01 its 100th birthday.

  • 09:11 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: [speaking in Hebrew]
  • 09:15 "And I will multiply men upon you," says the prophet Ezekiel
  • 09:20 here in chapter 36, verse 10.
  • 09:24 He goes on to say-- [speaking in Hebrew]
  • 09:28 "And the cities will be inhabited."
  • 09:30 God's got a great future for this part of the world.
  • 09:36 Oh, friends, many years ago, Ezekiel was in a place called
  • 09:41 Tel Abib, interestingly, in another part of the world,
  • 09:46 and he is called forth.
  • 09:48 He is given visions of a world to come.
  • 09:52 He sees God's judgment upon Judah, but more importantly,
  • 09:57 he sees restoration, and the literature is rich
  • 10:01 in restoration motifs.
  • 10:04 And here he's explicit, speaking of God raising up a future
  • 10:08 generation and rebuilding the cities of Israel, and what a
  • 10:13 place to tell that story here at the eastern rim of the
  • 10:18 Mediterranean Sea with the beautiful vista of Tel Aviv
  • 10:22 in the background.
  • 10:24 Oh, and the atmosphere here is brisk with activity, with life,
  • 10:28 as construction people are busy plying their trade, as tourists
  • 10:34 are coming here from all over the world to witness
  • 10:37 the miracle in the desert.
  • 10:41 I'll tell you, one trip to Israel is better than a
  • 10:44 hundred Sunday school lessons.
  • 10:46 Why is that?
  • 10:47 You breathe the air, ya soak it in, and you see that
  • 10:50 every word of God proves true.
  • 10:54 God is truly at work in the world.
  • 10:57 Tel Aviv celebrates its hundredth anniversary, and it
  • 11:01 wasn't long ago here, just to my left, in Neve Tzedek, it was
  • 11:07 an oasis of justice as Jews made their way here to begin
  • 11:11 carving out a place in the world, but they're driven
  • 11:14 more than by just ambition.
  • 11:17 There's a sense of providence that's guiding and working
  • 11:19 through their efforts, for, a hundred years later, we have
  • 11:22 this: we have the miracle of Tel Aviv that's growing and glowing.
  • 11:28 It's a beacon of light and hope for Israel and the
  • 11:31 freedom-loving peoples of the world.
  • 11:34 I hope you'll join with me in praying against and standing
  • 11:38 against the voices of oppression and totalitarianism that
  • 11:42 would wanna get in the way of what's happening here
  • 11:45 in this part of the world.
  • 11:47 I don't care what you hear on the news.
  • 11:49 Jewish people are good people, decent people, just people,
  • 11:53 equitable people.
  • 11:55 Yes, we have our scoundrels, and, yes, we deal with them, but
  • 11:59 you're looking at a just and orderly society, a miracle here

  • 12:38 as well as various seas, rivers, and deserts.

  • 16:08 It's teeming with people coming to get some of the good fruits
  • 16:12 of the earth, fruits that were produced, the Eretz Yisrael,
  • 16:17 in the land of Israel.
  • 16:19 There's all kinds of fruits here, but, you know,
  • 16:22 it wasn't always the case.
  • 16:24 A hundred-plus years ago, Mark Twain came to this land and
  • 16:28 commented how desolate it was.
  • 16:31 It was nothing to speak of here but ruin and decay.
  • 16:35 That was then, this is now, and as I'd said,
  • 16:39 the atmosphere bristles with life.
  • 16:41 The land has produced its fruits.
  • 16:43 The Jews pray for the fruits of the earth before a meal, before

  • 16:52 people come here in order to taste some of the goodness that
  • 16:55 is part of the experience of the revived nation-state of Israel.
  • 17:01 Interestingly, Ezekiel, to go back to his word, said as much
  • 17:05 in chapter 36, verse 35.
  • 17:08 He says-- [speaking in Hebrew]
  • 17:14 "The land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden."
  • 17:21 The national anthem for Israel itself is "Hatikvah," language
  • 17:26 that's gleaned from Ezekiel the prophet, and it seems to me
  • 17:30 that the scene in front of me, that which takes place around
  • 17:34 me, was envisioned years ago, a prophet who was displaced from
  • 17:38 his place of origin, who no doubt despaired for life itself
  • 17:43 and vision beyond life's abysmal circumstances that there'd
  • 17:47 be a coming back to life.

  • 18:01 Kirsten: 1948 was that year that the land was
  • 18:05 finally restored, hallelujah.
  • 18:08 Ezekiel saw that vision.
  • 18:11 That was an interesting piece that came into play, and it
  • 18:14 made, I would say, the puzzle complete.
  • 18:17 There you go. It's restored.
  • 18:19 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Well, yes--no one would've thought it,
  • 18:21 humanly speaking.
  • 18:23 Ezekiel, as he surveyed the landscape around him, decay,
  • 18:27 despair, disorientation, exiles, hopelessness, that was the order
  • 18:31 of the day, but he saw a new day in the future, and that's
  • 18:34 what the Holy Spirit does.
  • 18:36 There's this starburst of, "Wait a minute, God's not done yet."
  • 18:40 It's good news for Ezekiel. It's good news for us.
  • 18:42 David: I wonder if he had any doubt during that time,
  • 18:44 thinking, "Is this for real?"
  • 18:46 And he didn't get to see that happen in 1948; kind of sad.
  • 18:49 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: He didn't see it, but it's not
  • 18:51 just a verse or two in passing.
  • 18:53 Ezekiel is very descriptive about Israel's restoration
  • 18:58 and what will come as a result of it.
  • 19:01 Now, I should say, some decades later, Israel was restored as a
  • 19:06 fledgling, a Persian colony, but it never achieved the
  • 19:10 significance, the extent that's described in Ezekiel, thus,
  • 19:15 let's look and see what God's doing today because it seems, to
  • 19:20 me, Ezekiel's prophetic word has applications way beyond his day,
  • 19:26 into the distant future, into our day right now.
  • 19:30 David: That's why we do what we do here in this program, to
  • 19:32 help us with what we're goin' through in our lives.
  • 19:35 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I think believers woke up to the fact
  • 19:38 that God's up to something in the world with Israel's
  • 19:42 reemergence as a nation-state, with all the armies
  • 19:46 that came against her, that-- the way God enabled Israel
  • 19:51 to not just survive but thrive.
  • 19:54 Individuals are reading the Bible.
  • 19:56 They're reading the headlines.
  • 19:59 They're seeing that, and I think Israel's emergence was a piece
  • 20:04 that gave confidence in the Bible that wouldn't have
  • 20:09 otherwise have been there.
  • 20:10 I think Israel's emergence strengthens a lot of faith.
  • 20:14 Kirsten: The people were restored, but one of the
  • 20:18 biggest miracles was this desolate swampland.
  • 20:23 No one wanted it.
  • 20:25 Land is thriving.
  • 20:27 I mean, that's one of the reasons we love Israel so much
  • 20:30 and why you should go to Israel right now--get your tickets--
  • 20:34 is because we get to see the prophetic come alive
  • 20:39 in the land itself; it's unbelievable.
  • 20:42 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: And, if I can just add something to it,
  • 20:45 not to diminish any import from what you said--yes, come to
  • 20:48 Israel, visit the Holy Land, see the restored nation-states.
  • 20:53 One of the things that our supporters do in supporting us
  • 20:56 when they send a dime or a dollar, it's not just supporting
  • 21:00 the story of Israel's emergence; and those that go with us, it's
  • 21:05 not just visiting the land of the emergence, but for every
  • 21:08 dime and dollar that's sent in, money goes to support what the
  • 21:12 Lord is doing spiritually in the land by supporting
  • 21:16 gospel-related efforts in the land, those that are laboring
  • 21:20 there behind the scenes to bring Jesus into the forefront of the
  • 21:25 modern miracle, and so thanks for that.
  • 21:29 Kirsten: And it is literally something--and I say, when we
  • 21:33 go to Israel, the food we eat fulfill prophecy.
  • 21:36 His Holy Spirit is also moving rapidly through
  • 21:40 his people in that land.
  • 21:43 There's so much restoration.
  • 21:45 It is the land of miracles that Ezekiel sought way back when.
  • 21:49 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: He did, you know, and speakin' of "way back
  • 21:51 then," Zola Levitt, who founded this ministry, quite a pioneer
  • 21:55 in bringing Israel into view on Christian television,
  • 22:01 he said that he thought that one trip to Israel was
  • 22:03 worth ten years of Sunday school.
  • 22:05 It really is a blessing, so keep pushin' comin' to Israel.
