1. For thousands of years, Israel has been a burning wasteland, just as Moses prophesied:

   "Your children who follow you in later generations and foreigners who come from distant lands will see the calamities that have fallen on the land and the diseases with which the LORD has afflicted it. The whole land will be a burning waste of salt and sulfur--nothing planted, nothing sprouting, no vegetation growing on it." (Deuteronomy 29:22-23)

   However, Isaiah prophesied that the desert will bloom again and be fruitful in the end-times:

   "The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God. Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you." Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs. In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow. And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it. No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious beast get up on it; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there, and the ransomed of the LORD will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away." (Isaiah 35:1-10)
   
   "But your dead will live; their bodies will rise. You who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy. Your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead. Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her; she will conceal her slain no longer. In that day, the LORD will punish with his sword, his fierce, great and powerful sword, Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea. In that day-- "Sing about a fruitful vineyard: I, the LORD, watch over it; I water it continually. I guard it day and night so that no one may harm it. I am not angry. If only there were briers and thorns confronting me! I would march against them in battle; I would set them all on fire. Or else let them come to me for refuge; let them make peace with me, yes, let them make peace with me." In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit." (Isaiah 26:19-27:6)

   In the above passages, the context describes things which will happen in the end-times and beyond, and these prophecies tell us that the desert around Israel will rejoice and blossom and burst into bloom in the end-times, and that Israel will fill the world with fruit.
   
   In fulfillment of these end-times prophecies, the parched and burning wastelands of Israel are now blooming, and Israel actually exports hundreds of thousands of tons of fruits and vegetables each year to other countries. For example, here are some quotes from The Jewish Virtual Library, based on research from Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (see Israeli Agriculture: Coping with Growth ):

   "Today, just under a quarter of the income of Israel's farmers derives from the export of fresh produce, including items such as flowers, avocados, out-of-season vegetables and certain exotic fruits grown for export. In 1996 some 140,000 tons of fruit and vegetables - 14 percent of the entire crop - were sold to factories for processing and export."
   
   "Desert agriculture is already playing an indispensable role in Israel's economy."
   
   "Since the late 1950s, Israel has been sharing its agricultural expertise with scores of countries. MASHAV, the Center for International Cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is active in Asia, Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, Eastern Europe and Latin America; and it is broadening its cooperation programs with a growing number of countries in the Middle East."
   
   "Citrus, the country's oldest export sector, continues to be a leading export product with hundreds of thousands of tons of oranges, pink and white grapefruits, lemons, pomelos and several varieties of easy-peeling tangerines, as well as concentrates, juices and other products, shipped abroad annually."
   
   "Today, most flowers are sold by the individual growers directly to buyers in the flower auctions of the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and elsewhere"
   
   "Ornamental plants are a rapidly growing industry. Over $50 million worth of scores of different ornamental plants, either as rooted or un-rooted cuttings, or in pots in various stages of growth, are exported worldwide, but predominantly to Europe."

   The parched and burning wastelands of Israel are now budding and blossoming and filling all the world with fruit in fulfillment of end-times Bible prophecy.
   
   The pieces are falling into place. The world is shaping itself into an exact picture of the end-times world described throughout the Bible. Jesus is returning soon.

 

2. The Lord told Zephaniah that in the end-times, the time when He will pour out His wrath on the whole world, He will purify the lips of the people:

   ""Therefore wait for me," declares the LORD, "for the day I will stand up to testify. I have decided to assemble the nations, to gather the kingdoms and to pour out my wrath on them -- all my fierce anger. The whole world will be consumed by the fire of my jealous anger. Then will I purify the lips of the peoples, that all of them may call on the name of the LORD and serve him shoulder to shoulder."" (Zephaniah 3:8-9)

   According to Strong's Hebrew Dictionary, the word "lips" means "language, lip, speech, talk, words," and so on, and the word "peoples" means "a people (as a congregated unit); spec. a tribe (as those of Israel)."
   
   So this prophecy is often taken to mean that the speech (the language) of the people of Israel will be "purified" in the end-times. This is brought out more clearly in the Revised Standard Version:

   "Yea, at that time I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech, that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve Him with one accord." (Zephaniah 3:9)

   When the Jews were scattered throughout the nations after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., Hebrew as a language for daily communication died out (see Bringing a Language Back from the Dead at Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs website). Hebrew was still used for religious purposes, but it became extinct as a daily spoken language.
   
   In the late 1800's, a man named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda decided to dedicate his life to reviving the Hebrew language for daily communication, and he coined hundreds of new Hebrew words (see Eliezer Ben-Yehuda: A Language Reborn at Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs website). He wanted his son to be the first all-Hebrew speaking child in modern history, so he made his wife promise to speak only Hebrew around their son. This also meant that visitors to his house had to speak Hebrew (if they didn't know Hebrew, then he sent his son to bed so that his son would never hear any language other than Hebrew!).
   
   If you remember your history lessons, recall that Old English was spoken from the 5th century until the 11th century (see Old English Online ). For example, here is part of the poem "Beowulf," which was written in Old English (see Old English Online - Lesson 1 ):

   HWÆT, WE GAR-DEna         in geardagum
   þeodcyninga         þrym gefrunon,
   hu ða æþelingas         ellen fremedon!
   
   Oft Scyld Scefing         sceaþena þreatum,
   monegum m?gþum         meodosetla ofteah,
   egsode eorlas,         syððan ?rest wearð
   feasceaft funden;         he þæs frofre gebad,
   weox under wolcnum         weorðmyndum þah,
   oð þæt him ?ghwylc         ymbsittendra
   ofer hronrade         hy¯ran scolde,
   gomban gyldan;         þæt wæs god cyning!

   Imagine how incredibly difficult it would be to revive Old English and to make new words for new technology, and then to convince everyone in America or England to speak Old English as their primary language. Yet Hebrew (which had been extinct as a daily language since 70 A.D. or earlier) became the official language of Israel when Israel was re-established in 1948, and now they are able to read the Old Testament Scriptures in the original language.
   
   The lips (the speech) of the people of Israel have now been purified in fulfillment of end-times Bible prophecy.
   
   The pieces are all falling into place. We're in "the end of the age," and we are seeing that all of these different lines of end-times prophecies are all coming together in the same timeframe (beginning in the twentieth century). Jesus is returning soon.
