Jews returning to Israel

Society Religion & Philosophy
1

I have a few Jewish friends who say all Jews will ulimately return to Israel as mentioned in Bible. This migration indeed is happening.

Another friend of mine told me that they are headed for annihilation after moving back to Israel. If it is so then it must be known to them or written in the scriptures, then why are they moving back to Israel. Are they so naive ?

In South Africa there are about 60000 Jews largely in Capetown and Johhanesberg. Some of them having lived there for more than a century are going back to Israel.

Any Jew friend or for that matter anybody else in this forum who can throw some light on this issue ???

Re: Jews returning to Israel

There's esentially a split.

Since Jews rejected Hazrat Isa (saws), they are still waiting for the Messiah (al-Masih).

Some believe that is it a sin for Jews to move to Israel before the Messiah comes. I think this is because they believe they were ejected from Israel as a punishment from God and can only return once He forgives them and send the Messiah to them.

Others believe that it is neccessary for all Jews to return to Israel in order for the Messiah to come.
