In Captivity Still
As a Christian Zionist this is my carefully weighed opinion — and I say it not sermonising but with a steady assurance based on observation of what is written in the Bible and what I see happening in this world as the people of Israel commemorate Passover once again.
The Jewish celebration of this event is — as it has been for millennia — of their liberation from captivity in Egypt specifically; an emancipation that enabled them to go on and conquer the land God had set apart exclusively for them, and to become established for the first time as a nation in this land.
