Israel, Rebirth of a Nation Proof that God Exists

The rebirth of the State of Israel on 14 May 1948, and its continued existence is an amazing fulfilment of predictions in the Bible written 2,500 years ago.

God said of Israel “I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land.” (Ezekiel 36:24)

The return of Jewish people to their biblical homeland of Israel is also a sign that Jesus Christ will return to the earth to establish God’s

kingdom. In Luke 21:24-27 Jesus says that when Jerusalem is in Jewish control again he will be about to return and give eternal life to his true followers.



This year will see the 70th anniversary of this historic event – In Tel Aviv, at midnight on the 14th day of May 1948 saw Israel declare independence from under British administration (At midnight the British Mandate of Palestine is officially terminated and the State of Israel comes into being.)





The next day, May the 15th four of the seven countries of the Arab League at that time  – Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Syria ( backed by Arab volunteers invade the territory of the newly formed state- The resulting war lasts for 13 months – but despite the Israeli army only being approx 100,000 in size at the peak of the engagement – the Israeli army triumphed.



How did the Nation survive this onslaught? – was it chance? was it great planning and execution of a preconceived plan by the army leaders?



No, it is much more simple than that!
