Why is the nation of Israel being stirred today?
The nation of Israel is being stirred today because God is preparing them for Him to pick up where He left off with them, after Israel was blinded and God called out a people for His name from the Gentiles, as declared in Acts 15.
Les explains that Israel is on trial and will be on trial until the end of the book of Acts. Yet God did not wait all the way to the end of their 40 years to start calling out a people for His name, as seen in Acts chapter 15. James recognized that Paul had a ministry among the Gentiles that Peter and the eleven knew nothing of, and he made the classic statement that God would call out of the Gentiles a people for His name. That is what God has been doing for 1900 and some years, while Israel has been blinded. Now we see the stirring of the nation and preparing them for God to pick up where He left off.
