As Israeli troops enter Rafah and the failed attempts to reach an agreement with Hamas on releasing the remaining hostages, this is the cry of my heart –
Arise, State of Israel, and shine! (Is. 60:1).
I ask myself how can we, in the midst of such darkness and uncertainty, rise and shine?
“For in My wrath I struck you, but in My favor I have had mercy on you”, God clarifies later in the chapter (v. 10).
Yes, in His wrath and anger over our sinfulness as a nation He struck us, but just the same He has abundance of mercy upon us.
The Hebrew says: “It is in My desire, My will, that I have mercy upon you”. So Father, the God of Israel, it is to Your will that I turn now and plead: have mercy, Lord, please have mercy! Bring our sons and daughters back from near and afar (v. 4), and make our hearts swell with joy.

I seems to me that the nation of Israel is prodded into it’s destiny by the God of Israel. The “song of Moses” (ha’azinu) from Deut 32:1-43 describes it’s trajectory and the Jews today are walking down this road…
As surely as the middle parts are being fulfilled, the ending will also come to pass:
“Rejoice, O heavens, with Him,
and let all God’s angels worship Him.
Rejoice, O nations, with His people;
for He will avenge the blood of His children.
He will take vengeance on His adversaries
and repay those who hate Him;
He will cleanse His land – His people.”
Yeshua has fulfilled the Torah and His blood guarantees this ending for Jeshurun.
