Many Christians either do not understand the historical miracle of Israel's rebirth or they mistakenly believe that the Jews are no longer God's Chosen People, that the re-establishment of Israel in 1948 has no prophetic significance.

Historical fact records that Israel was out of her land for 1,900 years. Israel's land was controlled by a succession of Gentile powers during that long period of time. At this point, Israel should never have been expected to gain her land back, because no people who had ever been out their land for several hundred years had ever regained it.

The rebirth of Israel in 1948 was truly an historically unprecedented miracle of God, accomplished against all historic odds.

God foretold in many places in both the Old and New Testaments that He would tear Israel out her land if she refused to obey His commandments but then he repeatedly turned around and promised national restoration.
