Israel: A Struggle for Survival
Over the course of its history, time and time again, this band of 12 tribes has faced extermination, yet today stands among the worlds elite. It is no coincidence that on the worldwide center stage is a country the size of New Jersey. Since the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, to the Caesars of Rome, Palestine has been caught in the middle of power struggles amongst empires. Born in the "Cradle of Civilization", the ancient Jews struggled against all odds to survive. The Old Testament Ancient Near East was made up of Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the Zagros mountains located on the westernmost edge of Iran.

His latest deliverance was one of no less significance than anything found in the Old Testament. In 1948, for the first time since 586 B.C., a Jewish state was created. God had once again brought His people together in the promised land. From the ancient banks of the river Chebar, the voice of Ezekiel can be heard saying; "My people, and I will bring you into the land..." WEBSITE UPDATED DAILY! CHECK THE BLOG FOR LATEST UPDATES!

All politics aside, for the past 3,000 years world leaders and kings have threatened the people of Israel. In the face of this persecution, over the course of thousands of years, they stand strong today as a testament to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the promises He made those great men. These promises stand as true today as they did thousands of years ago, and no human initiative will ever thwart them. NOTE: This link voices other political concerns.
