This coming June it will be sixty years since the establishment of the State of Israel. In one day, the new nation was declared. Its destruction went back to AD 70 when General Titus destroyed both the temple and the city of Jerusalem. The Jews were taken into slavery and thousands died at the hands of the Romans. While there was some effort to reestablish the nation it did not come about. The Lord scattered the Jews worldwide as He had prophesied in ages past.
When the new nation was declared in June 1948 the Arabs went on the offensive with the vow to drive the Jewish people into the sea. They told the Palestinian Arabs to leave the land while they destroyed the Jews from one end of the country to the other. Many Arab civilians died and the war was vicious on both sides, but the cruelty and lies found root on the Muslim side far above what the Jews did.
Several decades before the Arabs had welcomed the Jews back home to the Holy Land. But by the 1930s and 1940s the Arabs turned on the Jews, and so did the British, to a degree, who were supposed to be the keepers of the peace in the Holy Land.
To keep the political fires burning the Arabs of Palestine had said that partition would only be achieved over the bodies of their people, their women and children. They vowed to drive the Jews into the sea and said the problem between the two peoples would only be solved by the sword; "all Jews must leave Palestine."
Where are we today?
Many believe that to keep the peace in the Middle East, Israel must attack the nuclear facility in Iran. The Iranians seem bent on building an atomic bomb and using it someday on Israel. But God is not asleep in these matters. He will have the final say in the Middle East in the tribulation. We are moving quickly to those days!
