Abraham was made a promise by
God:
"And I will make of thee a
great nation, and I will
bless thee, and make thy name
great; and thou shalt be a
blessing," Genesis 12:2.

Israel is a great nation today.
The third military power in the
world. The most challenging
country in the world.

It has been a blessing to the
nations of the world.

It started when the call of
God came to Abraham.

It all began when Abraham heard
God tell him, ". .Get the out of
thy country, and from thy kindred,
and from thy father's house, unto
a land that I will show thee,"
Genesis 12:1

Abraham believed God. It is told
in the New Testament in Romans 4:3.

He did what God told him and went
to the place that is now Israel.
God said, "This land belongs to
you."

Jerusalem is the most famous
city in the world.

It is mentioned in the Bible
more than 600 times.

The next most famous city is
Babylon, mentioned about 240
times.

Jerusalem is prominent in all
stages of history from its
beginning. And will be in the
days to come.

It is 'a cup of trembling' that
has been dealt with by the
nations of the world for many
centuries.

Those billion of Islamic people
are lead by the ones sworn to do
away with Israel. They are prom-
ising that which the Bible speaks
about.

When we know what is happening in
Jerusalem and what the Bible says,
then we know we are moving into
the prophetic future.

Today, we are in the middle of
difficulties that have grown
from problems between Israel
and the Arab nations.

Much of it centers around
Jerusalem, and the claims of
the Palistinians.

Jerusalem is the center of the
nation of Israel that has only
about 4 million people.

That area, that land, that
nation, is completely surrounded
by Islams, with about 1 billion
people.
