A Look at Modern-Day Israel 1

published May 15, 2008 12:00

Many Jews and Christians say biblical prophecy was fulfilled when the nation of Israel was reborn on May 14, 1948 - some 1,900 years after the Jewish people were displaced from what the Old Testament describes as their God-given homeland. This week, Israel celebrates its 60th anniversary as a modern-day nation, and today's broadcast recognizes this historic milestone. Dr. James Dobson discusses the biblical significance of Israel's restoration with bestselling author Joel Rosenberg and Middle East expert Tom Doyle. Our guests also examine the threats facing the Jewish state and the condition of the Christian church in the surrounding regions.
"The fact that there's [still] a Jew on the planet, the fact that Israel is in the news, means that there's a God who keeps His promises ... It's only the God of the Bible [who] ever said Israel would become a country again; [the Bible] is the only document in human history that said this would happen." - Joel Rosenberg
