The Middle East. Israel becomes a Nation and Countdown.
Israel becomes a Nation.
Although God`s people Israel were scattered among the nations of the world God gave them a promise that He would bring them back to their own land.
`Thus says the LORD God; “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them every side and bring them into their own land.` (Ez. 37: 21)
The Arabs in the Middle East however opposed the establishment of a Jewish state. But amid these tensions Israel was a `nation born in a day.` The declaration of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948, was a momentous event, marking the culmination of decades of Jewish nationalist aspirations and the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
Jesus told His people that when they were back in their homeland again that many other nations would have their independence: `all the trees.` (Luke 21: 29 – 31)
Some of these nations that gained independence were Iraq, Syria and Jordan. Thus, France and Britain withdrew from the Middle East. The Arab nations then began to arise against Israel. Many wars have been fought as Satan incited Israel`s neighbors to try and eliminate Israel. God however has continually had His hand on His people.
Countdown.
Jesus said - `Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things are fulfilled.` (Luke 21: 32)
Thus, when Israel became a nation in 1948 God`s time clock began to wind down till He comes to deliver Israel and set up His rulership through them over the nations.
The Countdown started and is already 76 years on in 2025. Add the 7 last years of Israel chastisement and that generation would be 83. That terminal generation would be starting to pass way. Israel will still have to go through `Jacob`s trouble,` or the tribulation, as it is often called. The strength of the people of Israel will have to come to an end for them to call out to God to deliver them.
