Operation Exodus: Prophecy Being Fulfilled
120 Christians gathered in Jerusalem during the Gulf War to pray for the prophesied second exodus of the Jewish people - and were swept up in an adventure they scarcely imagined, in preparation for the return of the Lord. In less than 10 years, the Ebenezer Emergency Fund has helped over 70,000 Jews in the former Soviet Union to reach the Promised Land.

A truly amazing story of a Christian businessman who felt called to facilitate the return of the Jewish people to Israel. The challenges he faced, the miracles he witnessed, the sudden reversals (both positive and negative) that occurred as he chartered planes and ships to bring people to the land of their ancestors. No one had managed to get a sailing from the port of Odessa in Russia direct to Haifa, but Scheller was able to arrange it. Opposition soon came about some unlikely sources - not the Russians but the Israelis.
Eventually he was even able to bring Jews from the Siberian frontier on the border of China where they'd been given an "autonomous region" by Stalin.
He speaks of the effect of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl on the Soviet collapse. Some at the time made the connection between the star named Wormwood falling from heaven in the book of Revelation and that catastrophe which fouled so many waters and caused widespread death. It was said that "chernobyl" was Ukrainian for "wormwood". And while that is erroneous (it's for a related plant), Scheller points out that the event was significant.
"It shook us greatly," Gorbachev said, looking back years later. "It was a turning point." Glasnost (openness) would be the result, coupled with the perestroika (restructuring) which sought to deal with the Soviet Union's ongoing economic crisis. pg 34
