Yes—Les Feldick teaches that the preservation of the Jewish people is one of the greatest miracles of the whole human race.
The Jews have remained a distinct and identifiable people for over 4,000 years, despite being scattered among all nations and facing repeated attempts to obliterate them. Les Feldick points out that they should have been long gone through assimilation or destruction, yet they continue to exist as Jews—which he presents as living proof that the Bible is the Word of God.
Jeremiah 31:36 — This verse promises that Israel will never cease to be a nation before God as long as the sun, moon, and stars continue.
Ezekiel 37:3 — God asks Ezekiel if the dry bones of Israel can live, pointing to Israel's miraculous restoration after centuries of dispersion.
Scripture promises that Israel will remain a nation as long as the heavens remain. In Jeremiah 31:35-36, God says that just as the sun, moon, and stars will never cease to operate, the seed of Israel will never cease from being a nation before Him forever. This is a direct biblical guarantee of Jewish survival. Ezekiel 37 pictures Israel as dry bones scattered in a valley—representing the nation's long, hopeless dispersion—and yet God promises to bring those bones to life. He says to the prophet, 'Son of man, can these bones live?' The implied answer is that only God can restore a nation that had been completely wiped out as a political entity. The Bible therefore presents the continued existence and restoration of Israel as a supernatural act of God.
Les Feldick emphasizes that the Jew is 'living proof' that the Bible is supernatural. He notes that the Jews have been in a dispersion for almost 2,700 years and are still Jews—whether they live in Russia, Germany, or anywhere else. They have not amalgamated into the nations around them the way other peoples have. For example, Americans of various ancestries have intermarried until there are few pure Englishmen or Germans left, but the Jew never did. Les also points out that more than one government, empire, and king has tried to obliterate Israel, yet after over 4,000 years of history they remain. He recounts an anecdote about a German general during Bismarck's time who was asked why he still believed the Bible—implying that the Jewish people's survival is compelling evidence. Additionally, the revival of the Hebrew language is another miracle: the language was dead for centuries, but when Zionists demanded that people learn it again, Hebrew was restored and is now spoken in Israel. God is keeping Israel intact as a nation also so that the 144,000 mentioned in Revelation can come from all twelve tribes—12,000 from each. Les concludes that because the Jews still exist, all the promises God made to the nation in Genesis 12 and throughout the Old Testament remain valid.
Les Feldick contrasts the Jewish people with other national groups. Americans have intermarried to the point that there is no longer a pure Englishman, German, or 'pure anything else'—they have amalgamated. The Jew never did. Even after nearly 2,700 years of dispersion among all nations, Jewish people have remained Jewish. They have established roots in Russia, Germany, and elsewhere, but they have not lost their national identification. Les teaches that if the Jew had lost his national identity, God's promises to Israel could not hold.
From 70 A.D. when Roman general Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the temple, the Jews were scattered throughout the world and have continued scattering ever since. Ezekiel 37 describes them as very dry bones that have been there a long time. Les says the normal answer from a human standpoint would be 'No way' that such a tiny, subjugated nation could come back. Yet because God is sovereign and watching over them, they have been kept intact as a nation. The miracle is seen not only in survival but in God's promise to bring them back to their land—and Les points out that in our time we have seen Jews returning from Russia and other nations.
Les states that another miracle is the Hebrew language itself. It was dead—even the Jews did not speak Hebrew for hundreds of years. But when the Zionists anticipated making Palestine a Jewish homeland, they demanded that people again learn and speak Hebrew. Today, if you go to Israel, all the billboards and highway signs are in Hebrew and English. This restoration of a dead language accompanies the restoration of the nation itself, making the miracle all the more undeniable.
The Boundaries of the Promised Land: What Does the Bible Say?
So no one can say, well, that's all been fulfilled, that's in the past. No, it isn't. They didn't even come close. Now, tonight, of course, Israel is sitting there, and I can't draw this again perfectly, but see the West Bank comes clear out of there, the Gaza Strip comes out of there, and all Israel has left is this little narrow neck of land with a lot of it taken out.
Jews as Living Proof
Les explains that the continued existence of the Jews after being scattered since 70 A.D. is one of the most viable proofs that the Bible is the Word of God—they should have vanished but didn't.
The Jew Never Amalgamated
Les shows that unlike Americans of European ancestry who intermarried and lost their original national identity, the Jews never amalgamated—they remained a distinct people, keeping God's promises valid.
Dispersion Without Loss of Identity
After almost 2,700 years among all nations, the Jews are still Jews; even if they cannot identify their tribe, God knows which tribe each one belongs to.
Over 4,000 Years of Survival
Les calls Israel one of the greatest miracles of the human race because over 4,000 years of history, multiple empires and kings have tried to obliterate them, yet they remain.
Should Have Been Assimilated
The little nation should have been completely obliterated and assimilated into other nationalities, but it maintained its identity and even revived the dead Hebrew language.
Kept Intact for Prophecy
God in His sovereign watch keeps Israel intact as a nation so that prophecy can be fulfilled—for example, the 144,000 must come from twelve tribes, and Jeremiah 31 says the sun would stop shining before Israel ceases to be a nation.
God’s Plan for Israel vs. Gentiles: Understanding the Abrahamic Covenant
And remember, they're coming in almost a thousand a day, at least they have been. But see, there are still at least that many in Russia, somewhere between 2 and 3 million. And then there's another million or two scattered in the other nations of the world, and then the largest Jewish community tonight is still in America, somewhere between 5 and 6 million.
Jeremiah 31:36: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
Les cites this verse to show that Israel's existence as a nation is as certain as the sun, moon, and stars—it cannot end.
Ezekiel 37:3: And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
This verse pictures Israel's apparently hopeless condition during dispersion, setting up the miracle of restoration that only God can perform.
Les Feldick says the Jews have been in a dispersion of one sort or another for almost 2,700 years, scattered among all the nations of the world. From 70 A.D. onward, they were scattered throughout the known world and have continued scattering ever since.
Les explains that while Americans of European backgrounds have intermarried and lost their original national purity, the Jewish people never did. Even after living among the nations for centuries, they have remained Jewish and have not become an amalgamated people.
Yes, Les says Hebrew was a dead language that even the Jews didn't speak for hundreds of years. When Zionists anticipated making Palestine a Jewish homeland, they demanded that people learn it again, and today Hebrew is spoken in Israel, which Les calls another miracle.
Les points out that Jeremiah 31 says the sun would fall out of its place in the heavens if Israel was to stop being a nation. Since the sun and moon continue to shine, Israel must also continue as a nation—so God keeps them intact.
