The Jews have for centuries been dispersed among all the nations with only a few remaining in the homeland. But by A.D. 1960 one-sixth of the Jewish population of the world was in Israel. Already they had been made “one nation” (37:22a)--between sunrise of one day and sunset of the next--“a nation born in one day” (Is 66:8). But the greatest event of all is yet to come (Ezek 37:22b-25).
