ALIYAH - JEWISH IMMIGRATION
Aliyah is the word that describes the return of the Jewish people from exile in the diaspora back to the land of Israel. The word Aliyah is derived from the verb “laalot” which means “to go up”, or “to ascend” in a positive spiritual sense. A person who makes Aliyah is called an Oleh, meaning “one who goes up.”
Today, in modern Hebrew, Aliyah refers to Jewish persons returning home to their Promised Land in Israel from the nations where they have been scattered. He or she is going “Up to Zion,” fulfilling the many prophecies in God’s Word.
Ezekiel 11:17 “Thus says the Lord G-d: I will gather you from among the nations and assemble you from out of the countries where you were scattered, refers and I will give you the land of Israel“
The Bible instructs Christians as gentile believers to help them return to Israel. Isaiah 49:22 “Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations, And set up My standard for the peoples; They shall bring your sons in their arms, And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.“
