What are some of the clues the Bible gives us on the whereabouts of Israel today?
1) They will be without a king for a long time. HOSEA 3:4: They shall abide many days without a king. 2) The throne will be in the sea and the people will rule over the sea. 2 SAMUEL 7:10: “And move no more”. So Israel was to finally possess land. HOSEA 12:1: Follow after the east wind = towards the west. PSALM 89:25: I will set David’s hand (= Sceptre) into the sea; his throne is to be in the sea, and he will control the sea-routes. 3) This land is to the north-west of Israel. ISAIAH 49:3,6: In reference to Israel (Jacob). ISAIAH 49:12: From far and from the north and from the west = north-west (there is no Hebrew word for north-west). 4) It is on a far-away island. JEREMIAH 31:9-10: In the isles “afar off”. When you take a map of Europe and draw a straight line from Jerusalem to the North West, through the European continent to the sea, and then on to the isles in the sea – you come straight to the British Isles!
