THE PROPHETIC PROOF GOD EXISTS– God Says He Would Restore Israel As A Nation And He Did. Tonight the history of our Salvation is inextricably bound up in the history of God’s Chosen People of Destiny – The Jews. That is why many years ago, when a great Bible conference speaker was asked to prove the inspiration of Scripture in one sentence, he replied: I’ll do it in one word – the Jews.
One nation on Earth was picked by God to be:
His bearers of Truth
His Begetors of the Line of Messiah
His Blessing to All Nations – ISRAEL.
The Jewish People are God’s People, the Jewish customs are God’s Shadow of things even yet to come.
ISRAEL and the Miracle of God’s work in and through them is the second great key to God’s Prophetic Roadmap for the FUTURE.
The Lord has claimed that He ALONE can declare the future. “I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done” (Isaiah 46:9-10). “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed” (2 Peter 1:19).
What happens to ISRAEL has been ordained[1] by God, and we need to be careful to understand from the past dealings of God with the Jews to realize in the future that He is still at work! First, we must see that God has chosen the Jews as His People[2], and God has Chosen the Land of Canaan (not Palestine) as His Land and God has Chosen the Destiny of the Nation of Israel as His Destined Plan for His Destined People. The Jews, the Land of Israel, and the Nation Israel are a Chosen People of Destiny.
As we read the newspapers and see how intense the hatred is of Israel by her enemies, even the continued existence of the Jews after centuries of dispersal and persecution unique in human history. Their continued existence is a mute, but an eloquent testimony, to fulfilled prophecy. The restoration of Israel as a nation among nations in our own generation is merely the most recent in a long line of fulfilled prophecies dealing with the Jewish people.
Through the Holy Scriptures (almost all written by Jews) and through Jesus Christ, the seed of Abraham has indeed become a blessing to all families of the earth. Some from every nation have found salvation and blessing through faith in Him.
One[3] of the strong pieces of evidence of the divine inspiration of the Bible (not found in other religious books of either past or present) consists of its hundreds of fulfilled prophecies. So, there can be No Ordinary Explanation for the existence in the world today of God’s Chosen People of Destiny, the Jews, and the nation of Israel. For just a moment try to feel the impact of these observations. The prophecies about the Jews, their history of suffering, their rebirth as a nation, and the future destiny God has mapped out for His Chosen People of Destiny “have been a matter of public record on the pages of Scripture and available for careful examination for centuries. That they have been fulfilled in specific detail cannot be the result of mere chance but is in fact more than sufficient proof for the existence of the God who inspired the Bible and of that Book’s authenticity and inerrancy. In view of such clear and overwhelming evidence, one can only charitably assume that no agnostic or atheist has bothered to read the biblical prophecies and check them personally against history and current events”.
Modern Israel only occupies about one-sixth of 1 percent of the land area which the Arabs possess.
The Arab Nations have the oil, the wealth, and the worldwide influence which such seemingly inexhaustible resources command.
Israel’s postage-stamp piece of land is scarcely discernible on a world map, and it lacks all the essentials to make it the center of worldwide concern.
Yet, In defiance of all reason, however, it is the focus of world attention, precisely as prophesied.
