Traveling the Biblical Route
The restoration of Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria to Israel in 1967 was a monumental moment for the Jewish people, marking the return of their historical and spiritual heartland. After thousands of years in exile, these lands, rich in biblical history, were once again in Jewish hands. Despite facing challenges such as propaganda, terrorism, and international pressure, the significance of these regions remains profound.
One of the most significant places is Alon Moreh, where Abraham first received God’s promise of the land. Standing there, it’s easy to imagine hearing God’s words to Abraham: “This is your land, and I’ll give it to you and to your descendants.” Abraham’s building of an altar in response to God’s covenant marked the beginning of a divine relationship that has shaped history.
Judea and Samaria are also home to some of Judaism’s holiest sites. Hebron, with the Tomb of the Patriarchs, and Bethlehem, traditionally known as King David’s birthplace, are located in this region. These areas are not just land; they are central to Jewish spirituality.
Living in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria means fulfilling ancient prophecies. The pioneers who have settled in these areas are building a future of blessing, truth, peace, and love in a region often marked by conflict.
Since it is so rich in biblical history, just living in Judea and Samaria connects one to their biblical ancestors. For example, the modern Highway 60, known as the “Biblical Highway,” runs through the heart of Judea and Samaria in Israel, following the ancient route used by patriarchs like Abraham. It stretches from Beersheba in the south to Nazareth in the north, passing through key biblical locations such as Hebron, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem. Following the ancient path that Abraham once walked, this route serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring nature of God’s promises and the deep roots of the Jewish people in this land.
However, their journey is not easy. Residents face daily hardships, including constant terror attacks from Palestinian terrorists, political propaganda that undermines their legitimacy, and constant international pressure that questions their right to their homeland.
For those living in Judea and Samaria, witnessing miracles is part of daily life. David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first Prime Minister, famously said, “In Israel, in order to be a realist, you must believe in miracles.” The resilience of the Jewish people, their ability to make the desert bloom, and their unwavering faith all highlight the miraculous nature of Israel’s restoration.
Against all odds, God has restored these lands to the Jewish people, fulfilling ancient promises and setting the stage for future prophecies. While the world often watches with criticism, those who understand the biblical significance see the hand of God at work.
