What does the revival of Hebrew prove?
The revival of Hebrew proves the absolute truth of the prophetic Word. A dead language had never before been brought back to life in human history, yet Hebrew was revived, serving as another absolute proof that biblical prophecy is being fulfilled and can be trusted.
Les explains that if Old Testament characters like Ezekiel or Daniel walked up to a ticket counter in Tel Aviv today, they could converse in their own language, Hebrew. This has never happened before in human history—no dead language has ever been brought back to life as Hebrew has. Therefore, the revival of Hebrew is another absolute proof of the prophetic Word. Les notes this fits with Ezekiel 37's dry bones prophecy, where God promises to bring breath and flesh upon the scattered Israelites, making them a nation again. The bones represent the nation of Israel among the Gentile nations, and their restoration is happening in our day, though it has not yet reached its complete fulfillment.
