Nuggets from “Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations” by Dave Hunt

On May 14, 1948, re-born Israel declared itself an independent nation. Within minutes, at 5:16 PM, in swift reaction that astounded the United Nations and flew in the face of objections of his government ministers, President Truman authorized recognition of Israel by the United States. The Soviet Union was next. Other nations followed. Impossible in today’s world, it was a miracle that could have taken place only in the shadow of the Holocaust. That horror had aroused a momentary worldwide guilt for having stood by while millions of Jews were exterminated like vermin.

The world was unwittingly participating in the fulfillment of another remarkable prophecy. Looking forward to Israel’s rebirth in the last days, the prophet Isaiah had written, “Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall…a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children” (Isaiah:66:8Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
See All...). Surely “Zion travailed” was an eloquent description of Zion’s loss of six million of her children.
