"And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest." - Ezekiel 37:3Would you like to see a miracle?That's what the Jews kept asking Jesus for; they wanted to see a miracle. And, yet, miracles were happening all around them. The blind were seeing, the lame were walking, the lepers were being cleansed, and thousands were fed with a few loaves and fish; what more could they ask for?May I suggest that there is a miracle occurring right in front of our eyes as well. That miracle? The state of Israel.This Sunday, Israel will celebrate its founding 75 years ago (May 14th, 1948).1953 years ago the Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem. For 1878 years the Jews experienced severe persecution as they were scattered throughout the world. But they survived. They maintained their religion, language, customs, and heritage. Has there ever been another group of people that have this historical achievement? No, not even close! But God said He would bring them back from the nations to which they were scattered and He has.
