There is a cute prophetic story on Israel365News involving Rabbi Pesach Wolicki who was asked by a friend and pastor of a large church in America to address a group of people who were there to tour Israel.

Ironically, Pesach was scheduled to leave on a speaking tour in America the very next day, so he only had time on the night they arrived to speak to the group.

When he met them at their Tel Aviv hotel the first thing that Pesach asked them was if they had seen anything Biblical yet?

Almost unanimously the group said no. They had just arrived in Israel late that afternoon and had not explored anything yet.

One woman said, “Rabbi, we just got off the plane. All we did was sit in traffic. But tomorrow we’re heading to Capernaum!”

So Pesach explained that in fact, they had already seen something Biblical as the Old Testament not only records things that happened in the past but points to things that would take place in the future.

The fact that their bus was stuck in Tel Aviv traffic was evidence of God’s promise to restore the Jews to the Promised Land was being fulfilled before their eyes.

He referenced God’s promise in Deuteronomy 30:3-5, that after a long exile, that the Lord would restore the Jewish people to Israel, and that they would be more numerous than before.

Then Rabbi Pesach quoted from Zechariah 8 as they were a fulfillment of the promise that peoples from other nations would come to Israel:

Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Peoples shall yet come, Inhabitants of many cities; the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, “Let us continue to go and pray before the Lord, and seek the Lord of hosts. I myself will go also.” Yes, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord.’ – Zechariah 8:20-22
