Is Jeremiah 31:5 Coming to Fruition This Passover Season?

The prophet Jeremiah foresaw blossoms flourishing on the mountains of Samaria. Modern farmers are seeing this prophecy come to pass before their very eyes.

“You will yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria; the planters will plant and will enjoy them,” Jeremiah prophesied.

HaYovel, a vineyard in the region, recognizes this importance: 

Judea and Samaria are the historical and spiritual heartland of Israel, and the heart of where we work. The majority of the biblical history unfolded in this area! Here, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob each received the promise that this land would belong to their descendants forever.

This region is often called “the West Bank” in the media. It is possibly the most contested piece of real estate in the world. Many Jewish people live here because they believe the promise given to Abraham and believe in the restoration of Israel as prophesied in the Bible. Farmers inspired by the words of the prophets have planted vineyards and olive groves. Some planted in faith, not knowing where they would find laborers to bring in the harvest. Many farmers we serve depend on HaYovel volunteers to keep afloat, year after year. 

But that’s not the only biblical prophecy vineyard HaYovel has their eyes on.

Volunteer farmers and organization leaders also cling to Ezekiel’s words: 

They shall say, “This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. And the waste and desolate and ruined cities have become fenced and inhabited.” Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined places and planted that which was desolate. I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it (Ezek. 36:35-36).

They recruit Christian volunteers to come work Israeli land to see prophesies come to pass.

Almost 2,000 Christians have journeyed to the vineyard since its inception in 2005, according to reports.

This harvest, 78 volunteers pruned 303 dunams (75 acres), planted 7 dunams of new grapevines and worked 4,000 man hours.

“Seeing and feeling the God of Israel’s strong emotion towards His people and land inspires our own hearts to beat with the same passion. It is this passion that compelled us to establish HaYovel. We, as a multi-generational and family oriented organization strive to unite Jews and Christians to work together towards one common goal—the restoration of Israel through tending the land,” the organization says in a statement.
