Day 1. Israel Reborn
Prophetic Connection: “For behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that I will bring back from captivity My people Israel and Judah,” says the LORD. “And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it” (Jeremiah 30:3).
May 14, 1948, was a pivotal day in human history. On that afternoon, a car carrying prominent Jewish leader David Ben-Gurion rushed down Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv, Israel, and stopped in front of the Tel Aviv Art Museum. Four o’clock was only minutes away, and inside, more than four hundred people—Jewish religious and political leaders and press representatives from all over the world—were assembled in an auditorium, anxiously awaiting his arrival. Ben-Gurion quickly bounded up the steps. Precisely at four o’clock local time, he stepped to the podium, called the meeting to order, and read these historic words:
This right is the natural right of the Jewish people to be masters of their own fate, like all other nations, in their own sovereign State. Accordingly, we … are here assembled … and by virtue of our natural and historic right, and on the strength of the resolution of the General Assembly of the United Nations, hereby declare the establishment of the Jewish State in Eretz-Israel, to be known as the State of Israel.
Six thousand miles away, President Truman sat in the Oval Office, reading a forty-word statement about to be released to the press. He penciled in a few added words, then signed his approval and noted the time. It was 6:10 P.M. One minute later, the White House press secretary read the release to the world. The United States had officially recognized the birth of the modern nation of Israel.
Isaiah’s prophecy, written 740 years before the birth of Jesus, declared: “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once?” (Isaiah 66:8). Secular Israel was born that day.
The return of the Jews to Israel in 1948 was an astounding event unprecedented in world history. Never had a decimated ancient people managed to retain their individual identity through almost twenty centuries and reestablish their nation in their original homeland. The event was specifically prophesied, and it happened exactly as foretold. It was clearly a miraculous act of God.
REMEMBER: Despite long passages of time and unexpected obstacles, God is faithful to fulfill His promises. You can trust Him even when things seem uncertain.
