It will come about also in that day that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria and who were scattered in the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.When they do not have their own land, the Jews have often been a persecuted people. Rarely have they found a place where their separate cultural and religious identity does not make them stand out from those around them, and the "locals" normally don't appreciate that.
That's one reason that Jews have always looked to Israel, and Jerusalem specifically, as a place to long to be. They know that it is the place where God has spoken to them from, and they want to hear him again.
