WEEKÂ 2 - ISRAEL
🌿 Week 2 — Exile, Return & Aliyah
How God Fulfills His Promises in History and Today
In this second session, we trace Israel’s journey through exile and return — one of the most powerful themes in Scripture. From Assyria and Babylon to the modern miracle of Aliyah, we explore how God disciplines, preserves, and restores His people according to His covenant. This week will help you understand why the rebirth of modern Israel is not a political accident but a prophetic fulfillment unfolding before our eyes.
