Dear Brethren,
On May the 8th (this coming week), Israel
celebrates the day its first Prime Minister,
David Ben-Gurion, declared the establishment
of the State of Israel. So come this
Thursday modern Israel will be 60 years old.
Back in May of 1948 the tiny nation was
encircled by its enemies and hopelessly
outnumbered. On the day after Ben-Gurion
declared its independence, six Arab armies
invaded and tried to annihilate the Jewish
state. It is by the grace of God the nation
did survive, but to this day it is
surrounded by nations continually plotting
her destruction. With the current exception
of Egypt and Jordan, the Arab and Muslim
world has been trying to destroy the Jewish
homeland.
